Bob Fioretti

Yeah, uh, i- indeed, indeed.

So he's running against Bob Fioretti, whom, you know, many of us know as a kind of perennial candidate, who was a former alderman.

Uh, Fioretti is running as a Republican against Kwame Raoul.

I mean, I, I hate to be cynical, it's just that, like, you know, statewide races are all held by Democrats, and probably if the polling d- pans out and history shows, they will continue to be [laughs]-

We have Max Solomon, who's running for treasurer.

And we have Bob Fioretti, who's running for attorney general.

They're all appearing and they'll all be there.

We were scheduled to have it at a place in the 47th Ward known as O'Donovan's, where we've held an event before.

I contacted him, and the Northside Republicans are welcomed to have their event at Billy Goat in Wrigleyville, almost right across the street on Monday night, Columbus Day night.

Paul's a great guy, and we've held many events at a number of the Billy Goat facilities.

But on Monday night, Darren Bailey, Bob Fioretti, Max Solomon, and a lot of local candidates are going to be at the Billy Goat.

in Wrigleyville, so on Clark Street.

We had the local alderman there.

We just hosted an event for Attorney General Bob Fioretti, who's running in Illinois.

He's definitely got an uphill battle in a very blue state, but it's important because there are things like this crypto tax that have been signed that don't really have rules yet that are assigning a 0.2% tax to every crypto transaction.

It's just it's kind of wild that Illinois, I think, is going to be isn't really one of the best homes necessarily for Bitcoin, but Chicago should be.

They have happily accepted me as a libertarian conservative, and, uh, so I'm working with them.

I was at a dinner last night with, uh, Dr. Willie Wilson, who's running for sheriff, uh, Don Tracy, who's running for United States senator, and Bob Fioretti, who is running for Illinois attorney general.

They're all Republicans, and we all sat together and we're all working together.

And, uh, I'm also working with Michael Murphy, who's a libertarian running for Cook County Board President, and Nico Tsatsoulis, who is running for Cook County Assessor, all three libertarians, and there is no Republican candidate for those offices.

I beg to differ.

and the two candidates uh the first one that we'll be speaking with is bob fioretti who is quite an incredible background his opponent from the other side of the aisle he's running as a republican but he's an interesting

type of a

republican you'll find out his story is the man by the name of kwame raul and bob fioretti i'm glad to see you how are you doing

I'm doing great.

Good to be here today and we're enjoying every moment of it.

in other words, the area increased taxes around the neighborhoods.

Yeah, and there was an issue raised about it would force people out from the gentrification, and it is happening.

I'm just so sick and tired of seeing this, and we have laws on the books for a reason, and we need good attorneys generals that believe in the Constitution and the rule of law and enforcing the laws of the land.

Now, Bob Fioretti's gonna join us in, in a second.

He's the ca- a candidate for attorney general in Illinois.

It's gonna be a hard state for anybody with common sense to win.

Uh, Bob Fioretti, uh, thank you, sir, for being with us.

What's going on? Glad, glad you, uh, could join us.

Yeah, thank you for having me on the show.

Yeah, hi.

You know, Bob Fioretti, who's running for attorney general, put out a, uh, fact sheet on the SAFE-T Act, the changes needed.

I don't know if anyone's seen that.

I, I, I was reading it and I said, "This makes a lot of sense and is a very good...

Well, it would...

If they do implement some of those changes, it would literally be the fifth amendment to the SAFE-T Act because it's been a disaster from the get-go.

So, um, yeah, no, we, we definitely need to look at changes, and we'll try and promote that, uh, that sheet that Bob Fioretti put together.

Thanks a lot for letting us know.

You know, you go to pull up to an intersection, there may be 40 or 50 different political signs.

As we did that, Not one sign for Darian Bailey, Don Tracy, or Bob Fioretti on any of the major corners that we drove by.

And I felt that was very odd.

Amy, why don't you ask Darian, ask Bailey about that on Wednesday when he joins your show.

Yeah, I'm going to trip over a couple of these details here.

I remember because Bob Fioretti, who we've talked to and is now running for attorney general, he was my alderman for many, many years.

And in 2008, when this deal happened, I recall having a conversation with him.

And I told him, I said, you know, if anybody who knows anything about time value of money The deal's probably worth closer to $3 billion, very conservatively.

So you put that all together and, you know, it was right.

We were right.

Bob Fioretti and I were right several years ago when we said the deal's worth at least $3 billion.

I want to clarify a couple of points that Florian made.

Finding of unconstitutional on the Freud card, we support the finding of unconstitutional on the assault weapons ban.

In fact, the next issue of Gun Saves Lives will feature Bob Fioretti on the Second Amendment situation, okay? That's just the start.

Hold on.

Counselor, you and I know each other for a long time, over 20 years.

I've worked with him on cases.

Excellent legal acumen.

Now, you and I may disagree about where Bob Fioretti, how he may play out.

But you said, was Bob always as pro-Second Amendment? as he is now.
