She has given so much cause for the FBI to move in. Tiff the Tyrant needs to be jailed, immediately..
I'm wondering if she's really being invested. If she was seems like she would have been arrested already.
Assault, she jumped in
@@Kim-Berly200 The FBI takes it's time with these investigations
Trump did way worse and he became president. I think she's going to get away with it
The FBI has the tip of the iceberg. This has been an epic failure on every level of government. All of the politicians and every department at the state level failed thus community. 😢
WHERE is the ATTORNEY GENERAL? The GOVERNOR? The FBI in all this? Chicago Officials need to be held accountable - PROSECUTED for turning a BLIND EYE & REFUSING TO HELP the citizens who were crying out for help from Dolton leaders. No one is being held accountable. It's sickening.
Yes they should be held accountable
I believe those officials are involved in undercover activities and don't want to be investigated to discover their deceptive practices.
They’re as dirty & corrupt as she; They’re just better at covering it up.
Its a DemocRAT city! Run by DEI DemocRATs! Of course their going to ignore what's going on! Even the FBI was in the DemocRATs pocket
She’s being investigated by the FBI, her house was already raided. Investigations take time. The Governor should have stepped in, and the sheriff’s department.
She is always well spoken and thorough in her answers. She doesn't produce word salad.
Easy to do when your not the blame. Under her watch Chicago started it's spiral and concise answers to the media were hit & miss.
Beetlejuice
Beetlejuice
Beetlejuice
Right?? Brandon Johnson be trippin all over his word salad🥗🥗🥗
Too bad she has horrific policies and preferences.
@@CadillacToothdeville..Grow up
@6:05 🤦🏾♂️ When Lightfoot is the most sensible person in a situation, you've created an unmeasurable mess. 😂
I'm actually a loss for words 😂 🤷🏻♂️
💯
17:36 omg she had me right until that point.
God damn it she just can’t help but be partisan and divisive and lie in our President.
87% of those polled on CNN are happy with what he’s been doing, putting the American people first, stopping the wasteful spending, trying to be more careful with OUR MONEY… the exact thing Tiffany Henyard isn’t doing to her people in Thornton and Dolton.
Just stop Lori
Remember when everyone agreed that wasteful spending is a bad thing?
Yall just mad that a Republican is the one actually stopping it and it’s very popular with Americans
I don’t know much about her. Is she not a good person? I’m extremely impressed with her based on just this interview
@@RoyaleWitCheese04 she was known as a horrible mayor for Chicago.
Most people are not racist. They aren't. What Lori said about REPRESENTING your community is so important and true. It's when things like this happen that people turn on each other and race has nothing to do with it. If you want to be respected and not looked down on by any race of people, then be honest and have integrity and represent your community that way no matter what race you are.
She was the most racist leader before Brandon. How quickly you forget! Ridiculous!!!
@@sharonpierce4478better believe it!
Tiffany should have been removed months ago and much of this fiasco would have been curtailed.
She's a racist. Don't you remember when she refused to meet with reporters cause they were white? 😂😂😂
Well most white people are
Tiffany Henyard should be arrested and prosecuted.
Lori Lightfoot did something I didn't think was possible. She significantly rehabilitated and polished her reputation. As Mayor of Chicago she was an utter clown. But here, she seems to be in her element. She is likeable, honest, and smart. It's impressive to come off a huge L like she did, and turn into someone so respectable.
The world is waiting for the house of cards to collapse
😂 yes the world! ❤️🇨🇴✝️💯
No it's not
What does then mean?
Authorities have been propping up this “house of cards” for years, there’s a reason this has gone on so long, but we’ll never know.
OY VEY!!! COOL IT WITH THE ANTI-SEMETIC REMARKS...
I remember over 2 years ago Dolton recalled her and it was overturned in court. So sadly, the town did try to correct this and stop it but they were shut down and halted by the court system.
😮❤😢 I'll admit that the Dalton Board of Trustees did try to do something... but I have no idea how that mayor still had a credit card to the end of her term?! 😮
@ just nuts! Keeps me shaking my head.
Why is everyone so shocked? Its a DemocRAT city run by DEI DemocRAT Crooks of course the system is going to vote in their favor🤷🏻♂️
Of course it set up to be that way sadly
Thank you Regina Waldroup & your station. You guys have did an amazing JOB!
Also, Former Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot for clear concise report!
vindication
I was skeptical when she was assigned to the investigation! But this interview changed my mind, it looks like she did a great job! Tiffany needs to go to jail!
Excellent interview!❤
Mayor Lighfoot is very well spoken! Excellent statement and response.
Yes, I can only understand a small amount of what Henyard says.
Thanks for the report Lori. That brawl was wild huh? Crazytown.
Tiff should of had assault charges, also what elitist family keeps this monster into positions like this? She somehow immediately got a job at Harvard before this one.
mob action charges how many jumped on one guy
Did Tiff find her wig?
You my butterfly, sugar, baby
@@freddiefuego6270 Baaaaaa...
When Lori Lightfoot sounds like the most reasonable voice in the room... you got problems!!!
Lori gained my respect 💯💯 and handled this as professionally as she could.
Strong.
Absolutely, 👍
She has completely changed her tune since January 20th 2025.
Lightfoot was a woman of good character. Perhaps many people didn't agree with her policies, but I always thought her heart was in the right place
She has to save her legacy some how…
Tiffany Henyard's story in worldwide. I've seen it in the Australia and BBC news cycles.
Wow!
It’s in the NY Post and TMZ as well! 😂
This is crazy 😂😂😂
GOT TO BE!!
As is Fanni Willis out of Fulton County Georgia
I'm so glad you aren't going to run for anything. You are the best at what you do here! You have made incredible turnaround! You go lady!
Lori Lightfoot did an excellent job in shinning a light on the corruption of TAHOE TIFFANY Mayor of Dalton, Illinois.
She didnt do anything they let her
Lightfoot really did earn back some respect during this.😊
Ms. Lightfoot, you have earned my respect, Thank you for your investigation. You brought what you could to the forefront. Maybe you should do this for all municipalities!
💯
I spit my drink out when I read this
@@kylee2942no doubt. She was an incompetent mayor and should never have respect. Lightfoot is a POS.
@@kylee2942 I fell out of my chair and I wasn't even sitting in one.😂
She needs to investigate Brandon Johnson now!
Powerful and Timely interview!
u deserve this trash
It's a bad day for Chicago when we long for Lori Lightfoot to be mayor again 😅
Y'know, you're 100% right!❤
Lori Lightfoot was complete ass as a mayor, that's how bad Tiff is!
@@saucejohnson9862You’re way off base, Brandon Johnson
You need a center leaning Republican to pull the people back from the far left.
Ain't no "we" nothing.
It’s good to see her free from gov’t world and being in her current position. You can tell she’s been revived.
Lori Lightfoot sure has found a way to rehabilitate her reputation. Not only has many people forgotten what she did as mayor but so has she. Great job at that. Also great job finding the issues in Dolton.
9% voter turnout?!?! WTF!!?? Thats just shameful.
The people who would’ve voted for Riley Rogers, neglected to do so after he fell severely ill close to the election….
Nice work on Henyard but my opinion on immigration is those children who she was referring to should have had parents going through the immigration process the right way instead of the back door. Voter turnout with id 🪪 is the only way any country can survive without falling to destruction from within,…
Right! I just don’t understand why 🤷🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
Thank you Lightfoot for all your hard work!!!!
Smells like jail time, a lot of representatives should be kicked out ASAP.
She should be out of office .ASAP !!!
She should be in jail. How can she just walk away from this?
@@saucejohnson9862Yup, something Brandon Johnson would say
Darn, I really respect and value Lori Lightfoot's honesty, intelligence and credibility. Illinois can be so proud of her, and I would hope that many other communities can use her in an overseer role to ensure that the residents are treated fairly by their elected officials.
She's smart not to give her opinion on a Henyard arrest because she does not want to interfere with the FBI investigation.
Even in very challenging situations, Lori Lightfoot keeps her focus on integrity, hope and community. A true leader in every sense of the world.
Thank you y’all Ms. Lori and Regina ❤
Lightfoot is just as corrupt. She ran Chicago into the ground.
Lightfoot working on her redemption arc, after her own disastrous Mayoral performance.
Bringing down Tiffany will be a feather in her cap!
Not really, she was paid HANDSOMELY. If I was a well off ex Mayor with integrity I would charge only the same as the average city worker, nothing more. Sure, she had staff but it should have been the same for them. I'm glad Lori stepped in to investigate the corruption but she was way overpaid and how did she square that payment with a city short $6M because that meant someone else didn't receive the payment they were owed.
@@yrp237The pot calling the kettle BLACK. One miscreant labelling another CORRUPT. A real live DARK COMEDY. The residents of DOLTON KNEW her background and STILL gave her these cushy jobs solely based on her ethnicity & gender. The fools are the authors of their own misfortune. Bunch of FORREST GUMPS who rightfully deserve to be called a bunch of "DOLTS". STUPID IS AS STUPID DOES? 🤗😭😋
Very admirable lady. Dont know much about her but seems like she really does have the peoples best intrest at heart.
Nope Lori Lightfoot is corrupt also. Sorry, but she was the Mayor of Chicago and ran it into the ground herself. So sad.
The phrase “with great power, comes with great responsibility!” Has never been so true! 😂
First, Thank you Regina for your professional journalism. Also, thank you Lightfoot for your investigation. Someone need to interview the AG and Governor. Please do your research and homework, before you approach these individuals.
She was hired to do the investigation lol It was her job.
👀where’s our governor during all of this? These ppl don’t give a crap about us! We need leadership that want to help our citizens, not themselves! Stop voting based on how someone looks. Chicago go red!!!
He’s busy eating a burger! 👀💅🏾
Light foot is a beetle in snakeskin disguised as a DEI saviour.
He's busy making sure ICE doesn't deport illegals from his state. He seems pretty passionate about that.
@@QueenRenneeating a burger? It looks like he ate the whole cow!
@ 🤣💅🏾
Good gosh. I don’t know anything about Lori, but good gosh this was the most honest interview I’ve ever seen! Direct questions with direct answers. No fluff, no word salad. I like her
HOW IS HER MARRIED FELON BOYFRIEND… still being paid by taxpayers???👀💅🏾🤦🏾♀️
I think they put him on leave that's why they fought recently.
@@nw66990yes he’s on PAID leave. Isn’t that crazy? 👀
I didn’t think she liked men.
@@Dusty42096 😅💅🏾
I feel like this shows the difference of educated vs uneducated!
The residents have been asking all the questions and the LAW has never been applied when needed. The City of Chicago Should have applied the law when something was not right.
Thornton Township is its own municipality it's not part of Chicago- the state needs to step up
I think Regina Waldroup is coming up as one of the most important reporters in the US. She's shining an important light in the corruption of local governments
Only the US Congress is allowed to spend tax payer money with reckless abandon.
The federal government can only spend what’s in the appropriations. That same rule applies to Dolton. The problem is she isn’t doing that.
there are 535 members of congress elected by 50 states and 435 congressional districts authorized to raise revenues and appropriate funds for the purposes necessary and proper for the operation of the united states. 435 of those people are elected on a year basis.
i don’t know how you define “reckless abandon,” the several million voters who elect those 535 people to the us house and senate to raise revenues from incomes generated here and to appropriate those funds to the national interest.
No form of government should be misusing taxpayer funding. The nerve of Tiffany Henyard saying she’s being attacked because she’s a black woman. No‼️Dalton is 90% black with a $20,000 medium household income she was the mayor of that town making 6 figures and Thorton Township 69.2% black and medium household income $56,000 where she was the town supervisor making another 6 figures. Shame on her‼️Community picnics, raffle drawings, bike and food giveaways should not be the cure all. Transparency and accountability is what all voters and non voters want to see. She needs to go ASAP‼️
@@seizedcclayLots of embarrassment & regret by T’s voters is resulting in WhatAboutism &, oh yeah, fist-fights & rioting. To look at her, how could voters have EVER guessed she was a fake, phony, grifting & self-hating celebrity wannabe?
Blessings to you Mrs.Lightfoot. Excellent Interview ❤️💐
"She made a spectacle of herself." Facts! 💯
I wish Lightfoot would have had this attitude & fairness when she was Mayor. She is very Intelligent & seemingly concerned about Illinois.
Great interview much respect Mayor Lightfoot ❤
Tiff needs removed and jailed immediately, Thank you L .Lightfoot for your hard work and dedication.
Good job on that report Lori!
I don't always agree with Lightfoot, but she is absolutely right about Henyard being what you get when only 9.5% of the people vote.
Lori Lightfoot is a very good interviewee. I understood everything she said and I learned a little about her personally. I appreciate the work she did in Dolton and The Township should really think about hiring her to look into their finances and misdeeds, especially following the last meeting.
Poster from Houston here! I agree with the gentleman that stopped her at the BBQ place.....most all of us here in my Office at my job keep tabs on the Dolton Nightmare for entertainment. I never cared at all for Lightfoot as a Mayor, but I have to admit, I've really liked her since she lost her position as Mayor, she seems to be a LOT more laid back and relaxed and I think she did a good job in relation to this investigation.
This was great interview
Lori. You have done an amazing job. Save that county. I think you have found your niche. Happy New Year.
WHAT ABOUT the Village and Township Attorney's turning a blind eye to the corruption?👈
SHE IS CORRECT ABOUT RECKLESS AND MISMANAGEMENT OF EVERYTHING INCLUDING HER PERSONAL LIFE DECISIONS
She started out by locking them out of the computer accounting system. Then she locked them out of the office.
Yep
What a delightful, caring, thoughtful Lady. My respect 🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸
thank you Lori for stepping up and being responsible and respectful
I went from disliking lightfoot to absolutely loving her. What a change. I watched the entire thing unfold. She is incredible in this new position and I really want to see her do this in more states. She absolutely woke Dalton up when she flat out told the people that 95% of them didn't show up to vote. It's true. The people want to complain about the leadership in their Town but they don't want to vote those people out. We all must pay attention to this incredibly smart lady. She knows her stuff. Very professional and a great speaker. I highly recommend that every American watch her in the audit she did on Dalton and what she uncovered. It's amazing all the work she had to do to uncover all the problems that's been going on for years! GREAT JOB LORI ILL BE KEEPING UP WITH YOU!
❤Love her honesty🎉
Unfortunately, too many people cast their vote without having knowledge of candidates. 😮
Great interview!
Things are really bad when Lori Lightfoot is the Good Guy!
Thanks Regina, great job!
I like this reporter, she is very good at her job.
I appreciate her speaking about how we should honor positions of power due to the fact it was a time we weren’t allowed to lead. Now we get the opportunity and abuse it and I am too African American and it’s saddening to see other blacks and the residents treated like this under her leadership. It’s and embarrassment to our history and the legacy those leaders fought for. Thank you for letting them know the black community finds this shameful and distasteful.
The Nation is praying for the residents of Dalton. We are cheering for you and hoping that you get the village back on the right track soon!
Dolton NOT Dalton. Tiffany Henyard is the Mayor of the Village of Dolton as well as the supervisor of Thornton Township. Residents of Dolton and several other communities are impacted by her mismanagement and misappropriation as the mayor of Dolton and the supervisor of Thornton township. Thornton Township is made up of 17 communities, villages, cities and towns.
Corruption has no color
Unbelievable , & the boyfriend is not even quantified for the position he have , what a mess. . .
They should hire Lori light foot go after all the municipality that are misusing town funds
Yes! She can connect those dots better if she sees the Township books.
I am SURPRISED to hear Lightfoot speak so openly about this incompetent, apparently corrupt mayor of Dolton.
And, in the end, the same ole Lori Lightfoot comes out strong in the message of migrants living in fear. GIRL!!! Those migrant kids were afraid of you too.
Not only Houston whos watching the absurd case in Dolton. Swedish person watching from Europe here 🙋♀️! Been following this since last winter! 😂
Outrageous woman, that Mayor Henyard.
The irony of one of the worst mayors in history, investigating and commenting on one of the worst mayors in history.
Excellent interview! Regina was asking all the pertinent questions and Lightfoot gave very clear and direct answers. Excellent journalism!
5:15 - 6:15 this is the exact reason why the pleas for help from residents and other local officials fell on deaf ears at the state and federal level. She shielded herself from any investigations and criticism by crying racism and sexism, and they are only going after her because shes a black woman in power. It didn't matter that her loudest critics were also black women.
The sad part is that LORI LIGHTFOOT has ALWAYS been this person….ponder on that!
That's the best speech/conversation I have heard from her. Good job digging up the truth. Much respect to Lori Lightfoot
Go Lori go. We want her back ❤Chicago
Thank you for always providing the facts
Doing whatever she wanted and not take responsibility for ordering purchases so it wouldn’t fall back to her.
Been watching for a year now I can't wait for this to end up on Netflix😵💫😂
You did a great job of presenting the issue.
Things are 'off the chain bad' when Lori Lightfoot seems like the morally upright one in the mix!
Lock her up.tiffany and her boyfriend is stealing.
Tiffy time like the wwe wrastler
I applaud Lori for her investigative work and highlighting the fiscal issues that are going on in local government in these communities.
7:12
THAT WAS ME!!
I literally just laughed out loud just now in my living room.
Seems like Lightfoot would make a fine investigator/special counsel. Glad Henyard is being held accountable.
Sounds like a big fat RICO case. 😮😮😮
100%
She’s suggesting that the state will bail out Dolton so taxpayers in The whole state will be on the hook for Tiffany’s living large. And that’s NOT RIGHT! 😡
Thank you for the great work
Close yr eyes and think of the original beatle juice movie ......😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
In Australia 100% of us vote and we believe if you do not vote then you do not have the right to complain about your government. Because if you do not vote, you get what you deserve.
Exactly!! I tell my son the same thing!
Thank you for this concise interview.
Definitely a spectacle because in in Los Angeles and I’ve been tuned in for months
Wow! I hope you and yours are safe out there. I’m in Ohio, and I can’t look away from it Lol 😂
Same in Washington State. Glued to TH-cam for updates.
Great interview.
Lecturing people on poor governmental management is ironic!
Its hard for me to accept one criminal calling another a criminal....however it is bad when it's so glaring that it can't be ignored by one of the worst former Chicago mayors of all time...and that's saying something
Lori is well spoken but unfortunately so misguided. Believing that people who knowingly broke our laws and illegally crossed the border should be protected.
This should be a wake up call for other people when selecting a candidate
Stop choosing ones who’s only qualifications are being 1st at something.
*whose*
