Chicago Crime: The Blueprint for Failed Leadership
Cut the Mic is back, and Mike Hoeflich and Mike Sperrazza have plenty to unpack. They kick off with the Buffalo Bills’ thrilling 41–40 win over the Ravens before pivoting to the issues dominating America’s cities: crime, safety, and political hypocrisy. From shocking examples of career criminals walking free to the failures of Democrat-run cities like Baltimore and D.C., the Mikes call for stronger leadership and accountability. They also weigh in on political double standards, government dysfunction, and how law enforcement must be supported if communities are going to thrive.
