Like it's odorant, you know, like and you know, it really it's one of those things where you get used to it, where you're like, hey, let me push the button to order my deodorant and wait for the person to come over and give me my deodorant.
Like, can you give can you give them the the one with the 24 hour strength because I'm really sweaty?
Like, that's not something you want to do with a person, you know?
Trump downplays post threatening Chicago, saying he wants to clean up city.
The president had said on social media that Chicago was about to find out why it's called the Department of War, drawing a fierce rebuke from Democrats.
Now, I'll tell you what I find funny in this.
All the liberals, not from Chicago telling me from the South side that I'm wrong, that my opinions are wrong.
I'm like, bro, you don't live there.
You don't live there.
Okay.
Megan Kelly's got a video, and she did a show.
She said Trump can't just send in the National Guard to enforce the law everywhere.
That's clearly not legal.
Gavin Newsom says, aha, the base is splintering.
No, that's she's not wrong.
I'm not asking Trump go and send National Guard to enforce the law.
I'm saying the presence is welcome.
They'll clean up trash, they'll make everything nicer, and it stops the crime.
In fact, in the black community, often we saw this from Gallup polling across the country.
They are asking for more police presence to help deal with the crime.
So I'm gonna say this to all those liberals.
I say I I would love it in my neighborhood if we saw this.
And these people from New York, from this from the northern suburbs, from the wealthier areas, they say, nah.
It's ridiculous.
So here's what we're gonna do.
We've got this we got a woman running for office.
We're gonna bring her in.
And uh she's gonna tell us about what's going on and and and what she thinks and what she thinks needs to happen.
Uh, my name is Christian Maxwell, and I'm currently a candidate for Congress in Illinois, a Republican candidate.
So not the most popular thing to be in this state.
Um, but I'm an Illinois born and raised.
Um, and then I came to Chicago to uh pursue school, and I ended up marrying my finding my husband here and marrying him.
And that's how I ended up being a resident of this amazing city.
So right now I'm just in the middle of a uh the fight that a lot of people are in, which is figuring out how to make Chicago a livable place once again.
So that's the thing I'm excited to talk about with you today.
Yes, I do believe Trump should sit send in the National Guard.
And there's a few key reasons for this.
Um, so when you think about the National Guard, the entire purpose of the National Guard is to do in-country work.
Um, the the whole concept of people kind of looking at it like a a um like SEAL team is being deployed on Nash on uh US soil to uh police and kind of like detain American citizens.
That's just not what the National Guard is.
And it's really not um, it's really sad to see them looked at the way they're being looked at right now, like an enemy force that's going to be against the American citizens.
Their entire purpose is to provide support um to states while also being able to access federal funding so states don't have to bear the burden of needing those extra resources.
So what we see in a lot of other states right now is that a lot people keep bringing up like, oh, red states, he needs to send them to red states first.
Well, the issue is that a lot of red states are already having multiple uh federal task force or federal integrated task force where they're working with the federal government and leveraging those resources, and they have an open door policy.
They're not hiding their ice, their uh, you know, immigration data from the federal government.
They're not lying about who's being released from Cook County jail.
They're not doing that.
They're saying, hey, this person, we just released this person who's not actually a citizen.
They're yours now.
And then ICE is able to go do what they need to do.
But in Illinois, what we see is that our governor has us literally on lockdown pretty much.
It's like a wall around Illinois, and he does not want any federal intervention unless it's a check.
So I think as far as the policies, I do believe that the one issue I see right now with a lot of liberals is that they really do want to just do a one-size fits-all approach to this.
So they're like, you know what?
We just want to talk to these people.
We want to talk to them and we want to give them supplies.
And that the only reason they're doing criminal things is because they don't have enough stuff.
I don't know that sounds bad.
Um, but here's the thing.
There really is a group of people who it's not about how much stuff they have, they are just inherently bad people.
And I know that that's something that people don't want to talk about for some reason, but there really are people who are beyond the reach of a dialogue, whether it's a mental health situation or just a, you know, just being so inundated with criminality that now it really is just the only way you look at life.
There are some people who are just inherently bad, whether they're rapers, murderers, drug dealers, you know, like whatever the situation is, there is no talking to them.
They're bad.
So no amount of affordable housing, no amount of food stamps, no truck parked in their neighborhood with vegetables and cucumbers is going to change how they approach life.
Yeah, that you can do that for kids.
Please do that for kids.
Please do that for women in these neighborhoods.
Please do that for people who want to change.
But for the people who are not interested in changing, um, no, we don't want to give them more resources.
When you here's what it looks like, though.
When you do open up resources to people who had just have a criminal nature, what they end up doing is you'll open up more senior living facilities, and then you will see their grandsons, the these older women, their grandsons will infiltrate the the senior living facility and be in their apartment unit, and they can't even get them out.
You know, like there's there's a lot of situations like that, or women will have section eight, and then they'll have a boyfriend who's living there who's dealing drugs out of a section eight unit, and it's like, yeah, this is the housing that she should have because she has children, but her boyfriend is literally not doing a single thing to provide for that household and is not incentivized to do so because his biggest cost is already covered.
And it's not section eight, you have food stamps too.
And it's and it's fascinating that it is the well-to-do liberals in the wealthier neighborhoods telling me, my friends, and my family the protection we're asking for is illegal, illegitimate, and we don't deserve it.
Because like it's odorant, you know, like and you know, it really it's one of those things where you get used to it, where you're like, hey, let me push the button to order my deodorant and wait for the person to come over and give me my deodorant.
Like, can you give can you give them the the the one with the 24 hour strength?
Because I'm really sweaty.
Like, that's not something you want to do with a person, you know.
Yeah, um, but that's become the norm.
If you need if you need formula, you you gotta wait for somebody to come and get it for you.
And I think that a lot of people don't realize that's how a lot of the city is living.
They're living like they are criminals and they're not the criminals.
So when I advocate for something like the National Guard, here's also why I think a lot of Chicagoans don't realize that CPD is currently down about 5,000 officers.
Bare minimum, they're down 3,000.
So if you have the National Guard here as a support and as a deterrent, that frees up more of the officers that we barely have.
I think we only have about a maybe like 11,000 or 13,000.
It frees up some of those officers who may be stationed downtown to kind of go into some different districts because a lot of these districts are not covered the way that people would think that they are covered.
I actually know for a fact that there have been multiple times where uh the mayor has decided to pool Southside officers to go downtown to stand on corners to keep downtown safe.
So I think that if you are willing to study the laws pretty much very often, um, you need to know what you can and cannot do here because there's a lot of rules on law abiding citizens.
There's more rules for us than obviously it is for criminals.
So if you don't understand what is considered your castle, like you can't just your car is not an extension of your castle here in Chicago.
So if your car is being burglarized, like there's not much you can do.
You have to be in, and you you should always have to be an imminent harm in order to use a weapon.
I I do I definitely feel that.
But the way that you can really get caught up and end up in jail as a law abiding citizen if you don't know all of the rules and regulations for how to use your weapon here, you can get in a lot of trouble.
And to be honest, they would probably throw the book at you even more than they would actual criminal.
So if you I would say anybody in Illinois, you should have your FOID, even though it's really ridiculous that you have to have one, uh, but you should have your FOID, and then you need to go and get your concealed carry because it's your job to self-rescue.
In a state like Illinois, they cannot rescue you.
You have to self-rescue.
It takes an officer, even in a good area, it takes officers to like 15 minutes to get to you in a good area.
Yeah, what are you gonna do for 15 minutes if you don't have a weapon and you don't know how to use it?
You're gonna die.
So it or be raped or whatever.
For women who I see a lot of women walking around, I'm like, I really hope that you have something in that little pouch besides lip gloss, because you know, it's a lot more going on here than Chicago's going to tell you because they're not transparent about how much crime is happening in this city because they want you to feel safe.
Yeah, people don't realize I brought I did a video on TikTok and I was talking about I'm like, uh, guys, uh, I don't know if you know, but there's a really extensive cartel presence in in Illinois.
And some people were like, oh man, don't talk about it, don't talk about it.
I'm like, but no, let's talk about it.
Because when you have a cartel presence, that means you have a trafficking presence.
And if you're, you know, a young woman, like you're you're a commodity.
You know, like you have to be aware of your surroundings in a way that's a lot higher here.
And I think that a lot of people just think of gang violence, and it's like, oh, it's just some black guys on the south side.
Like, no, there's a lot of different types of crime in Chicago.
This is why you see, you know, there was just recently um, it was a Chinese person who was, I think they were um they the DA um got them because they were trying to change over 65 million dollars from a transaction for fentanyl.
And then there was just recently a major cartel leader from the Sinaloa cartel, I believe, arrested apprehended here or charged here.
I'm like, that's like that's like Mexico.
Yeah, I'm like, this is not Chicago's, it's so beautiful, it's so beautiful, but do not let that fool you.
There is a real criminal element here that goes so much deeper than just black guys on the south side where people are like, they shouldn't be over policed.
I could care less about the crime that people think this is about.
There's something that the government knows that we're not 100% aware of that I I for sure want them to come and handle.
So that's something that I've been looking into as well.
There are less and less people voting in these elections.
Even when, even though there is still a democratic stronghold, they have just broken the will of so many conservative or even moderate Democrat voters to the point where they just don't show up.
If you even look at for some of the surrounding suburbs where there's mayoral elections, you'll have a mayor win with like 1400 votes.
You know, that's not like a town's worth of people.
Um, so and even with the mayor, Mayor Johnson, I mean, he didn't get that many votes.
It was like less than like 300,000.
And I think it was honestly in the hundreds of thousands.
Chicago's a really big city.
So it's like there wasn't some overwhelming majority of people who said that Brandon Johnson was going to be a great mayor.
It was a small, it was a small group of people who cared enough to go out and vote.
And they didn't come back for the runoff, which is why Paul Vallis ended up losing.
Paul Vallis would have been the mayor.
And honestly, I know quite a few black people who voted for Paul Vallis and for sure wanted him over Brandon Johnson because nobody in their right mind wanted Brandon Johnson.
If you ask any black person who's like, I don't want to call him boomer age, but even like my age and up, they know for a fact that his whole the youth just needs to kumbaya with me and they're gonna come over to the law-abiding side.
Everybody knows that that's not a thing.
It's not a thing, which is why you see youth taking over downtown now.
And you see the schools, if you check a lot of the schools around here, they literally have 50% absentee rates.
A lot of CPS schools can't even get kids to come to school.
And he's a CPS product.
He's actually a CPS teacher.
And the CTU president is literally like the his puppeteer.
She has his little puppet strings.
He's not a, he's not, none of the stuff that Brandon Johnson is doing is because he's sitting there plotting on Chicago.
He is a puppet of the highest order.
And Stacey Davis Gates or whatever her name is, she honestly needs to go on like a watch list.
Like that lady is behind so much of the destruction of our children in the city.
I honestly would love to see CTU get dismantled.
I would love to see them be dismantled.
Because they're a big reason why the city is dysfunctional.
Do you think you're gonna be able to obviously you're gonna say yes, but you're gonna be able to rally the people of your district and vote for some change?
So when I look at this whole fight, one for one thing, I'm taking it one day at a time, and I don't do a lot of boasting um at all in this because I've never run for politics or done anything in politics.
But what I'm looking at is that people have never been more fed up than they are right now.
And with Trump in office, they have just a thread of hope.
And I honestly do believe that if there was ever a time to do it, it's now.
Jonathan Jackson, most if you go up to, I'm actually gonna probably do it pretty soon.
I'm gonna just walk around the High Park area and I'm gonna ask Brandon Black people, do you know who Jonathan Jackson is?
They don't know him.
They don't know him.
He's slapping up billboards over literally destroyed areas all throughout the black communities, just slapping his face up there, talking about people over politics while black businesses close all over the district.
Black black women are unemployed.
It's like the people that he talks about all the time, they're not doing better with him as a representative.
I looked at all of the uh all of the legislation that he's done as a congressman, none of it is about Illinois.
And to be honest, none of it is about black people.
So the very people who elect him, I really wonder if they're checking his work because he's on Capitol Hill with I mean, when you pay for a sent uh representative, Illinois is investing about three to four million dollars a year into Jonathan Jackson and his suite of team members who aren't doing anything.
He's produced less than I think 15 pieces of legislation.
He's been a representative since 2023.
How do you do less than 15 pieces of legislation in several years in a district that has this much need?
Um he's the I think the only reason to be honest that he ended up running is because his brother got locked up.
So his brother, um, Jesse Jackson Jr., who was probably the original kid who was supposed to, you know, be his daddy's like, you know, main kiddo.
Uh, but he embezzled about $800,000 of his own campaign funds.
So he had to get locked up for a little bit.
He just got back out and put his little uh intellectual glasses back on and he thinks he's gonna run in district two um that should not be a thing you shouldn't get fresh out of prison and then go try to run for a representative again and think that you have a shot but in Illinois these men the true oligarchy which is Jesse Jackson Sr.
Jesse Jackson Jr. and Jonathan Jackson that's an actual oligarchy because they love that phrase um they think that they own Illinois and that this is their way to just keep themselves top of mind a little bit keep a decent little salary you know a decent salary to put on the books and to just stay relevant.
unidentified
But Illinois is tired of being a toy yeah uh how many of the in the past 20 years how many politicians in Illinois went to prison I mean you can oh man it's it's actually sad because I can't count at this point.
Um that's that's a normal thing is for you know Illinois politicians to end up going to not just like they don't even just get a civil suit.
I mean they really go to prison to do hard time like that's how I'm like they don't they don't just do a little bit of crime or kind of just overstep a little bit no they just like they're like no I'm going for it.
I'm gonna embezzle a million dollars almost and you know have to do multiple years.
And I just can't understand how that's normal.
But also that's why I know that I want the National Guard to come and I want Trump to have his eye on Illinois because I know why they don't want his eye on Illinois because of the level of corruption.
When Pritzker during the pandemic Pritzker kept Illinois in disaster mode longer than almost any other state I think in the US he kept it in disaster mode do you know why?
Because it paid the bills for RTA RTA is currently 700 billion I think 700 million dollars uh underwater because COVID funded ended CPS, our public school system 100% supported by COVID funding they're like I think a billion dollars underwater now there's so many different industries across Illinois that he was able to pay the bills for with COVID funding.
So he was content to keep Illinoisans locked in their houses and tell them it was a disaster for as long as possible.
It also created fake jobs.
So now when you see people saying that there that there's less jobs being created well it's because there's not a bunch of fake COVID jobs being created people going and shoving swabs up your nose at Walgreens.
That's a fake job you know health care all this fake healthcare hiring that Illinois did the only new innovation that you see in Illinois right now if you come you will notice that the only new businesses are dispensaries, autism clinics and kidney dialysis businesses.
Somebody tell me I'm wrong.
I drive over the South side and the only thing I see is new dialysis clinics because people's kidneys are failing here.
That's something that needs to be looked into there's a bunch of new autism clinics and ABA clinics and then there's dispensaries and the dispensary money nobody knows where that's going because it's going back to rehabs apparently and then it's discretionary funding for Illinois to decide how they spin.
So all the taxes from dispensaries is not actually going to Illinois at all.
I saw this uh I can't remember what I was watching recently but someone mentioned one of the characters was like yeah I was thinking going to Chicago but you know I'm not sure it's the right place for me too Wendy and I love that there are just there there are it's it's kind of shocking when I find out there are people who genuinely believe the windy city is called windy because of actual wind when it when it's actually about how all the politicians are corrupt and blowing hot air.
And it's like, it's for a hundred years we've lived that way.
I know a lot of people, they'll keep, um, I think people are like, man, I really hope you don't, you know, change once you get in.
And the thing I think that's different about me is that I don't have anybody in my ear.
I don't have some like shady characters, like, you know, over my shoulder telling me what to do.
Like, I really am basically a rogue agent.
And even though I'm a Republican and I'm a conservative, I, the, I don't think the Republican part, it even knows what to do with me in the state because I'm not a normal candidate.
I haven't done I'm not doing anything the way that they usually do it.
This is this is the GOP's problem or at least one of their problems they don't want to invest in in these districts like like congression district number one their attitude is it's a foregone conclusion but that means every two years it gets more and more Democratic controlled.
unidentified
You you you you have to go after these districts that are democratic Democratic party entrenched that'll actually weaken all the other areas and improve your your standing in this in the swing districts imagine if you destroy a Democratic stronghold it your everything else is falling I've literally had multiple people who were in the GOP in Illinois tell me oh your district isn't one of the ones like that's a focus for us because you know it's a a dim plus 24 or whatever it is.
And for me to be in this area, this is the best shot you will ever have.
So to have multiple GOP people still tell me, oh, you know, I don't really know if you know we're gonna spend there, but we're gonna spend in some random area in Illinois because that's an easier win.
And the actual person who's over the GOP in Illinois, they need to have somebody who has more of a mind for strategy.
Because I'm pretty fed up to be honest, as a person who's a I still consider myself, I'm just a citizen, a person who decided to go for it.
That's it's nothing different about me.
I'm a regular, I'm a mama for.
I just did homeschool this morning before this interview.
I'm a regular woman.
Make my husband breakfast this morning because this is off day.
Like I'm normal.
Um, but when I look at this from a business perspective, because I'm a business person as well, there's a lack of strategy.
Why is the Republican Party, even at the national level, not investing in more digital, uh digital media?
Why are they not going out and making sure that they have an infrastructure to tell the stories they need to have?
We're still missing the plot when it comes to really selling what it means to be a Republican and to be conservative and to care about the country and be a patriot.
Being a Republican is a, I mean, being a conservative and loving America is awesome.
unidentified
The military is awesome.
That's why we don't have enough young men going into the military now where people are terrified of the National Guard because people know nothing about the military.
So I want people to uh definitely visit my website, Christian Maxwell for Congress.com.
I can't do this for Illinois without you.
Even if you're not an Illinois and you're an American citizen, oh victory in Illinois is a victory for the US.
And I mean that.
Illinois is a stronghold for some of the most corrupt dysfunction that plagues our country in general.
And a lot of the things that they try here and test here spreads to other areas.
Pritzker loves the work that he's doing, and he's going and tampering in other people's elections Going into places like I think he went into Wisconsin and all of those areas.
Don't let people like him win here because he will spread his dysfunction via his not-for-profit all throughout the country.
And he's already doing it.
So if you're a person who wants to be a part of creating the best future, the best chance we have for a better future in America, invest in my election, spread the message, look for more people you can help in Illinois because a victory here is a victory for all of us.
And we truly do need help because Illinois is basically North Korea at this point, and we just need we need help.
And then on TikTok, I started off this entire journey as the mod pun, which stands for the modern pundit, but that's just the M O D P-U-N, the Mod pun, and you can find me on X and on TikTok as the Mod Pun and on Instagram is Christian Maxwell for Congress.
So definitely join me on all those platforms.
And if you want to go to the website first, you can find everything on the website.
Um, but I definitely appreciate you so much, Tim, for this.
