A HUGE THANK YOU to @DailyCaller for helping me put a spotlight on Gov. Pritzker's epic failure to keep the Chicago Bears in Illinois. The billions in taxpayer dollars he said were needed would have been there had he not spent them on illegal aliens. The Governor didn't handle my questions well—not at all. #thatreporter

RAW VIDEO: I Cornered Pritzker About The Chicago Bears — And He Refused To Answer 🚨 I went to Gov. Pritzker's presser today and here's what happened: Gov. Pritzker said he didn't want taxpayers spending billions to help a billionaire family keep the Chicago Bears in Chicago. But he's a billionaire himself. 💰 And he's been more than happy — even proud — to spend billions of taxpayer dollars on illegal aliens. So I asked him: "We all know the Bears generate revenue. Illegal aliens typically are a drain on taxpayer dollars. Do you think long-term, especially when you're running for President of the United States, losing the Chicago Bears will be a bad decision?" Pritzker refused to answer. Instead, he blamed Greg Abbott and defended spending billions on illegal aliens. So I followed up: "Would those taxpayer dollars have been better spent on American citizens?" Pritzker refused to answer that, too. When a governor can't answer a straight question from a reporter, taxpayers should ask themselves why. #thatreporter

The Bears leaving Chicago is another sign of Chicago's decline—and a political black eye for Gov. Pritzker and Mayor Brandon Johnson. America's third-largest city is losing its NFL team. The Chicago Bears have been a central part of Chicago's cultural identity for more than a century. They aren't just a football team. They're part of the heart and soul of this city. But what would Pritzker and Johnson know about the city’s heart and soul? Johnson is from Elgin and Pritzker was born and raised in California. In the end, it's about choices. Pritzker and Johnson found billions for the migrant-industrial complex—vendors, contractors, and shelter operators—but couldn't find $855 million for infrastructure to keep the Bears in Chicago. The Bears are a return on investment. The migrant-industrial complex isn't. To Pritzker and Johnson, the Bears were just another stadium deal. But millions of working-class Chicagoans sat through losing and winning seasons, freezing Sundays, and decades of heartbreak because the Bears belonged to Chicago. And now... they won't. #thatreporter

A big THANK YOU to @DailyCaller for helping me and the people of Chicago keep the heat on Mayor Brandon Johnson on these violent teen takeovers. I think takeover is too nice of a word. It's mob violence and its mostly black teens and young adults who are doing this. I know he doesn't like it when I say that either but I call a spade a spade. #thatreporter

Friday morning, I broke the story that Jose Medina, the illegal alien from Venezuela, who is accused of killing Loyola freshman Sheridan Gorman, was found with a six-inch metal shank hidden in his waistband. Medina is being held in Cook County Jail awaiting trial for Gorman's murder. The information came from my sources inside Cook County Jail, and there is much more to this story that has yet to come out. After I published the report, local legacy media and national news outlets picked up the story and independently confirmed the details I first reported. I will be posting more exclusive information about Jose Medina and what is happening inside Cook County Jail as this story continues to develop. Follow this page for updates. #thatreporter

EXCLUSIVE — REPORTER WILLIAM J. KELLY: My source within Cook County Jail tells me that Loyola freshman Sheridan Gorman's accused killer, Jose Medina, was just found with a six-inch metal shank concealed in his waistband. The weapon reportedly had a handle wrapped in medical tape. Medina is currently being housed in the general population of the Cermak Health Services unit at Cook County Jail. According to my source, criminal charges related to the incident could be announced as early as today or Monday. If confirmed, the discovery could undermine his defense attorney's claim that Medina is handicapped and suffers from brain damage. #thatreporter

Watch below to see for yourself where Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson had my mic cut. The second clip is the Mayor's public feed - so people couldn't hear my second question about his control of World Business Chicago - the entity which is paying for his fancy trip to Rome today. Fortunately, I had my own mic - so you can hear exactly what I said - and exactly what Mayor Johnson didn't like. #thatreporter

🚨 JOHNSON CUTS KELLY’S MIC AFTER QUESTIONS ON TEEN TAKEOVERS, ROME TRIP From today's presser: Mayor Brandon Johnson says Chicago is safe. Tell that to the families living through violent teen takeovers across the city. Memorial Day weekend ended with 39 people shot and 2 dead. Police officers were rammed by cars and sent to the hospital. I asked Johnson about his failed policies which have allowed these criminal teens to harm innocent people. And let's be honest - because I was - these are violent black teens. Before I could finish, Johnson and his staff tried talking over me. Then his press secretary cut my microphone when I asked who was actually funding Johnson’s luxury trip to Rome. When I confronted her about it, she lied. Moments later, Johnson admitted the trip is being funded by World Business Chicago — the organization HE chairs. Johnson looked into the cameras and claimed Chicago is “not for sale.” But I think Mayor Johnson is for sale. That’s the opinion of this reporter. #thatreporter

Over the last few days, there was a second "teen takeover" in Chicago - on Memorial Day. Mayor Johnson would say they are just "silly kids" but more than 500 of these silly kids began a brawl and vandalized cars. Just good clean fun! #thatreporter H/T to whomever took the video. No claim to the music.

Another violent 500-teen mob scene. This time FIVE cops were injured when a car driven by one of the teen thugs plowed into them. Chicagoans are telling me Mayor Brandon Johnson should CANCEL his Roman holiday this week. What do you think? #thatreporter

Happy Polish Constitution Day! 🇵🇱 (May 3rd) Great to be at Chicago’s Polish Constitution Day Parade—the oldest ethnic parade in the city and the largest Polish parade outside of Poland. Great people, great parties—and great picture 😉 #thatreporter

Any questions for Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson today....that don't involve flood pants? #thatreporter

If you haven't heard of Cook County Corrections Coalition, @C4CookCounty check them out. There is courage inside the Cook County Department of Corrections exposing corruption and unethical practices but it's clearly not at the top. #thatreporter
