involves around allegations surrounding the village's embattled mayor henyard. there are reports henyard spent large amounts on trips and security detail. the village is more than $7 million in debt. and the mayor is facing multiple complaints and lawsuits from former employees who say they were wrongfully fired. one of them says henyard terminated her after she accused a village trustee of sexually assaulting her during a work trip. henyard is defiant. >> y'all should be ashamed of y'all isself. y'all are black. y'all are black and signatures up here and being and attacking on a black woman that's in power. >> you out of order. you out of order. you out of order. attorney? [chanting? >> [shut it down. [chanting if we can't get it, shut it down] >> they didn't come here to have the business, they came here to do a political theater stunt. >> madeleine: lightfoot who lost her reelections bid for chicago mayor last year will be looking

into all of these accusations. >> as a lawyer and former federal prosecutor and mayor, i bring expertise in leading investigations of this kind and understand the complex challenges of governing. i commit to you that i will follow the facts where they lead without bias and reserve comments from this night forward until the work is complete. >> lightfoot's role will be capped at $30,000. the village trustee at that time say they will check in and reassess her role. lawrence, ainsley, steve and brian. >> steve: thank you very much. keep in mind, this particular mayor was recalled in 2022. they had a vote to recall but then the illinois appellate court ruled the votes for the recall were not valid. and so she was able to keep her job. but, you know, with the village of dalton, $7 million in debt, and these allegations of lavish

personal spending, the people are steamed. it's just unusual that they would hire lori lightfoot who has got, you know, a lot of people love her in that neighborhood, apparently. >> brian: who does? >> steve: well, brian, she received a standing ovation from the residents when she was approved by the board. but there are a lot of people who say she was not a good mayor for chicago. >> lawrence: because they didn't have to live in chicago with all the crimes and the businesses leaving. this mayor right here has a million dollars security detail. there's a 2 million deficit. and by the way, guys, this is town. this is not a city. a town. she has a million dollars security detail? they owe almost half a million for the street paving service. 400,000 for the trim tree trimming service. >> ainsley: but they don't have the money. >> lawrence: they don't have the money. they found the money for her million dollars security detail. ainsley, as you noted before we were on camera, she has a hair and makeup team that the city pays for.

>> ainsley: she a mayor taxpayer dollars. >> brian: i'm totally against hair and makeup. not personally. i will say this. she also -- she also locked the doors before she -- they had the open hearing. also facing shower. sexual harassmentand retaliatio. what is she doing good. >> ainsley: three different people suing her. one of them accusing her was the former director of building permits and licenses. only ones who knows how to give these permits and licenses. the mayor, she says, asked her to do things that were unethical. said she was withholding building permits and licenses to people who didn't donate to her campaign or to people that she didn't like. and williams, this lady who is suing her, said she complained and was moved to the water department before eventually being fired. the person with the sexual harassment, retaliation complaint, that person says she is accusing the mayor of firing her after claiming she was sexually assaulted during a work trip in las vegas last year. this mayor is denying all the

accusations. >> lawrence: lightfoot is not even -- she is the wrong person to do this because do you all remember the employees that used to work for her and how they were bee rated and they said it was a hostile working environment. so now you are going to bring in the mayor that had the same type of leadership to investigate? now, it's true, she used to be a federal prosecutor and all that. >> ainsley: she is being hired to investigated mismanagement of funds in a county or a village that doesn't have any money, yet, she is getting paid $400 an hour. >> steve: until they hit 30,000 bucks and then say okay, lori, what do you have? listen, one of the people who live in the village. >> ainsley: is that how the investigation works. run outs of the 30,000? what do you have? >> brian: like musical chairs. when the music stops. >> lawrence: unbelievable. >> steve: sherri briton who lives in the village so far we don't have any idea what the mayor is spending the dough on. here she is on our friday show.

>> it's the transparency. we don't know how our money is being spent. we can't -- we are about $7 million deficit because the board of trustees who handle the money, they haven't received any of their documentation. we can only assume that it's at 7 million and growing. and this was in september 2023. we have been going through this for three years. we reached out to our attorney general, raúl. our states attorney kim foxx. the governor, i mean, everyone. and no one is really doing anything. no one is even saying well, we know that you guys are in distress. it's just she is making a fool of us. she is embarrassing. and it's all on video. it's not like this stuff is being done behind closed doors. i mean, it's for the world see. she is a nut.

>> lawrence: if this mayor career doesn't work out she will be a great model. you see all the photos of her posing for everything. >> brian: great villain on the apprentice. >> steve: in the month of march she, the mayor of this town, this village, actually said she would veto the resolution passed by the board to investigate her. so, so far, she has been able to skate. but, yesterday, apparently the board said, you know what? we are going to veto her veto. so, game on, lori lightfoot to the rescue. >> lawrence: i just love how she tried to shame the black residents because they should support her being a terrible mayor not have the proper water, not have the proper streets being fixed just because she is a black mayor. these people are insane. >> brian: i had no idea the move before you are fired is to go to the water department. make your own call is the mayor being wrong headed and are we being too tough on her?

are we getting of lori lightfoot thorough investigation? >> steve: it's not us. it's the people of that village. >> ainsley: don't forget to send us eclipse pictures show those at friends@foxnews.com. >> brian: not if you are watching back the dvr this is too late. >> ainsley: keep watching to see if. >> brian: : confusing people, ainsley. >> steve: we are not confused enough. >> brian: far left protesters and progressive squad member in rashida tlaib's district not holding back their anti-american sentiment. >> one of the rottenness countries ever existed on this birth.

her uncle's unhappy.

i'm sensing an underlying issue. it's t-mobile. it started when we tried to get him under a new plan. but they they unexpectedly unraveled their “price lock” guarantee. which has made him, a bit... unruly. you called yourself the “un-carrier”. you sing about “price lock” on those commercials. “the price lock, the price lock...” so, if you could change the price, change the name! it's not a lock, i know a lock. so how can we undo the damage? we could all unsubscribe and switch to xfinity. their connection is unreal. and we could all un-experience this whole session. okay, that's uncalled for. >> carley: we are back with your headlines a texas d.a.'s office moving forward with charges with at least 40 of the migrants accused of taking part violent riot at the border wall in el paso last month. more than 200 illegal migrants were originally accused of taking part in the riot where two national guard soldiers were hurt. according to court records. many of the migrants still remain at the el paso county

jail. and check this out. president biden's acting labor secretary laughing at people who say they were better off under former president trump. >> some people try to peddle a story for, you know, of the nostalgia for just something that wasn't true. the last president kept talking about an infrastructure week that never materialized. president biden has delivered on infrastructure decade. [laughter] >> i don't know what to say about that. a recent fox news poll found that 56% of americans trust trump to do a better job running the economy compared to 41% for biden. those were your headlines, brian. over to you. >> brian: keep laughing. thanks so much. 32 minutes now until the top of the hour. anti-israel protesters and congresswoman rashida tlaib's in michigan direct not holding back israel's war on hamas. >> ask us if israel has the right to exist. the chant death to israel has become the most logical chant

shouted across the world today. [chanting] >> not genocide joe that has to go. it's the entire system that has to go. [chanting] >> brian: do you believe this? death to america. fox news correspondent benjamin hall joins us now. that was michigan celebrating he will quds today iranian security forces. your reaction? >> remarkable. i traveled around the world. i have been to somome of the communities around the middle east that believe in this. there they stand up and they shout death to america and death to israel. to hear it come from inside michigan is frankly remarkable. this day the al quds day is in fact banned in berlin here they were celebrating it inside michigan. the concern, the worry is there is a growing move in some of these communities toward jihadi like movements. the kind of rhetoric coming out

these communities has said there is a concern here that these voices are becoming louder. not a lot is being done to hold them back. so i think it is really concerning right now that this is the rhetoric we are hearing anti-israel also holding america, these communities holding america to account for what is happening in gaza. and so the concern right now is this could escalate. eyes have to be kept on it. >> brian: so from your perspective are you surprised when people chant death to america in a u.s. state in a city on camera? there is no reaction from the white house, no concern from the state department? no words from the fbi? >> you know, i look back to england' and you look over the last 10 years. groups over here. groups in the u.k. that were saying something like this. and behind the scenes and raising money and pushing money towards some of these groups that were the pushing this kind of islamic talk. and in the u.k., they shut them down pretty quickly. if you crossed a line you said things which were inciting hatred you were shut down. i am surprised what i am hearing

at the moment i do hope the government is watching closely and if that line is crossed, that you would hope that some action is taken. >> brian: fundamentally this day only happens in gaza. only war there because of what happened on october 7th. and if there is no october 7th. if hamas doesn't do what they did on october 7th. there is no war in gaza and they hide behind civilians and hide in hospitals and schools that seems to be lost on people analyzing what is happening in this war. it's not lost on someone you spoke to that was a victim of hamas on october 7th. cuff tell us about it. how it relates to your special. >> that's right. there is a special i have been working on for the last month or so back in israel. speaking to the community and some of the people caught up in the october 7 a tacks. i can say that those are communities totally lost at the moment and they cannot move forward at the moment until those hostages are released. i sat down, for example, in episode one which came out today. i speak to a 21-year-old israeli girl who was taken by hamas on october 7th. in the music festival. she was taken inside the

tunnels. she was badly injured. shot in both her legs. one of her foot almost removed. she was held for 53 days inside gaza. we tell her story and we talk about what it was like for her being a prison of hamas. also as you see on screen at the moment we spoke to this woman who who lost her entire family. her nieces, her nephews and brother and mother. they were all killed that day. i spoke to them and talk about how it is like. also what the future looks like. i can tell you that's one of the things i wanted to evaluate what the future looks like. what the relationship between israel and gaza looks like at the moment. it's very hard talking to some of these people and seeing what they rent through. >> brian: we have a soundbite from your special from mya. >> one grabbed my hair. grabbeds me and pulled me back so everyone could see my face. and cheering like allah akbar. everyone is screaming, everyone happy. it was horrible.

>> brian: wow. and she was reliving it as she was speaking to you. >> yeah. she was held up. she was paraded inside gaza. she was tortured by some of these people by both a doctor there as well as a teacher there. and, you know, it sheds a light. it reminds us why the conflict began. reminds us of all of those people and taken hostage on october 7th. i think that's the message that everyone in israel wants to remind people hamas did exist and they want to do everything they can to get rid of the threat to israel. again, coming back to what we heard at the beginning, to hear this rhetoric in the u.s., in michigan, is taking it to another level right now. >> brian: i agree, benjamin, i'm as concerned as you are. stream benjamin's special benjamin hall series on fox nation. they would rather hide by civilians than surrender. meanwhile, one of the stars of sitcom blackish makes these wild claims about a possible trump 2024 victory. >> he will punish everybody that didn't vote for him.

separately but will be sentenced together. mrs. crumbly's attorney asking for leniency, even offering to let her client live in her guest house instead of going to prison. she says, quote: the victims and their families have suffered beyond what words can explain. miscrumbly has also suffered significantly. she in reality has lost everything. ethan pleading guilty in october of 2022 to one count of terrorism, four counts of first degree murder 1 other charges. currently serving a life sentence without parole. four students killed on novembee came out of the oxford high school bathroom and opened fire in the hallway. the victims and their families are expected to give statements at today's hearing. ainsley, over to you. >> ainsley: all right, todd, we will be watching that, thank you so much. turning to more headlines starting with. this police are searching for th suspect who they say punched a woman and threw her down a set of stairs in queens, new york. according to officers the suspect attacked the woman at her church before stealing her purse and fleeing the scene in her car. the victim was taken to the

hospital and is in critical condition. now to the human trafficking probe against rap mogul sean "diddy" combs. a ba expert telling fox news digital diddy is working hard to assure his brand trust isn't fully eviscerated. the rapper consistently keeping up appearances around south florida despite the probe. those are some of your headlines. lawrence, over to you. >> lawrence: i a lot of smiling until he is in the courtroom. >> ainsley: right? >> lawrence: thanks, ainsley. jennifer lewis going on unhinged rant as she warns black people what to expect if trump wins the elections. watch. >> he will punish everybody that didn't vote for him. let me tell you all how i know this [bleep]. i know it because i know what mental illness looks like. that mania is unstoppable. this [bleep] is hitler. he didn't dom play. >> lawrence: here to reacted

host stacy on the right on sirius xm stacy washington. >> good morning. >> lawrence: the man was elected back in 2016 what did he do to black people then? >> i don't know. invited us to the white house every single year which biden has failed to do. i don't know if you noticed that president biden has not yet had onblack history month celebration where he invites black leadership across the country to the white house to hang out with him. jennifer lawrence she said we know what mania and mental illness looks like. yes we do. we just saw a little bit of it there. er do you remember, lawrence, when president biden you said they are going to put you all back in chains in exactly that accent and vernacular. she is saying it. she believes it. if you want to see more unhinged rhetoric from her she does this all the time on instagram. she talks about politics and things that really aren't true and from her perspective as a wealthy woman in hollywood, i'm not sure what exactly she thinks she would have in relation to

president trump but i just remember the highest median household income for a family of four. i remember there being no new wars, peace in the middle east and abraham accords and domestically black americans thriving under president trump. and i think many more black americans will vote for him in november because of the horrible job that president biden is doing. >> lawrence: i know jennifer lewis has mental health issues. i know she is bipolar, but at its core i think it speaks to what democrats are feeling right now which is panic. you are seeing some polling that suggested donald trump could get almost 30% of the black votes. so this may be a method to intimidate, to fear till them don't do it. >> you know what, lawrence, that's interesting. the new polling shows the majority of that swing in the black community is coming from black men. so even though she may have a very strong presence and, of course, she is on a very popular

mainstream show, it doesn't change the fact that americans are paying 25% more for groceries because inflation is cumulative so it's year over year. month over month. 25% more and these cars are 22% more. and that president biden is attacking our oil and energy industries which means everything costs more. it's built into the cake because everything has to be shipped and trucked across the country. i think she may have had an impact had everything been great if president biden was really great but he's not. and the impact on americans 11,400 more dollars spent every year for the same lifestyle is too much. i don't think it will have an impact. >> lawrence: it's nonsense. i have never been in chains i don't plan on starting it. americans want to look at the facts on the day-to-day basis and vote for the candidate of our choice that feel like gonna pursue that dream that we all fought for. so, anyway. stacey, thanks so much. >> thanks, lawrence have. great one. >> you got it.

>> we know the majority of people who need care are not

getting to us. how can we actually get some of these tools out of the clinic and into the hands of people? we have to modernize psychotherapy. >> steve: she is talking about mental health. artificial intelligence ai powered chatbots are now being used to deal with the shortage of human therapists and growing number of patients who are looking for mental health help. kurt the cyberguy joins us from the west coast on this tech tuesday. kurt, this is a great idea because apparently there is a shortage of people who listen to your problems and say, okay, this is what you need to do. >> and the shortage of people having money to be able to access mental health professionals at the same time. good morning to you, steve. >> steve: good morning. >> she is talking about her app., by the way. wobot which is very promising in this area. we are not talking about where you grab your smart phone and have a facetime kind of one-on-one video call with an actual therapist. we are talking about a machine that you are going to be having

a conversation to cure anxiety or feeling addictions in your life and you want psychological assistance. we are not there yet with this technology it. does seem very promising. you're essentially pouring your heart out to a machine who is then going to give you guidance pretending it's a cycle toe therapist and give you some mental health positivity in the right direction. the problem is as we're getting there, there are a lot of bumps in the road. a lot of people getting misinformation not from woebot or criticisms over tessa. some other ai that's out there. so, we're at the beginning. >> steve: right. >> what could be some really promising new territory for getting mental health solutions. but not quite there. >> steve: right. exactly. a lot of people worry about talking to somebody about their problems and so maybe this boo make it more anonymous and make it more accessible. but stay tuned for that meanwhile a.i., here is something else. a.i. is analyzing garbage and

here's the thing. apparently it's being used by, what restaurants and grocery stores to figure out what we're not eating so you don't have to throw valuable food away, right? >> >> apparently we americans throw out 30,% to 40% of food. and unlike other parts of the world. this actually is very, very interesting. a couple great apps doing. this when now is an app. for restaurants they mount a camera over their waste bins and it will study what gets thrown in the garbage. by the at the end of the day, it can tell you what good could hae been saved. food cost savings are roughly 8% for restaurants using this technology. 8% is a lot of the bottom line if you have a restaurant. so that's a big deal. now, it also, on the other end, at the grocery store there is an app. called a fresh. another technology being used to simply monitor the inventory

tore the grocery store to reduce the waste that they throwing out at the same time. >> steve: somebody could eyeball it looking at the salad bar. nobody is using the garr band zoe beans. let's not put them out there next time. >> on sale, right? >> steve: two for one cyberguy.com where i go for all of my tech tuesday information and so does carley shimkus. >> i love cyberguy.com because i know nothing about cyber stuff. kurt is the go to source for all things cyber. speaking of cyber. kind of related somewhat not. let's get social. a script from the tv show friends is headed for auction. >> watch me freak out chandler. i think we should try to have a baby.
