00:00What happens when democracy meets Jerry Springer? Yeah, I mean if C-SPAN looked like this it'd get better rating
00:05They would get much better rating
00:07because what went down in a suburban Chicago village last night is
00:13Absolutely wild a massive brawl all over the mayor of this town
00:19It's Dalton Dalton, Illinois and the mayor Tiffany Hanyard is a very
00:24Controversial figure in fact, there's some people have given her this
00:29title of worst mayor in America
00:31and she's been involved in a lot of things but last night people in the town were kind of fed up and there was a
00:39Suggestion that she needs to be replaced on the board of super on the town board
00:44So you're gonna hear a very concerned citizen named Jedediah Brown who decided he was gonna put this up for a vote
00:52I don't think it actually got a real vote, but it's it's but Jedediah
00:58Threw it out there to see what the crowd reaction would be
01:02First there's the vote and then comes the brawl which was started by mayor Hanyard's boyfriend stepping up to defend her
01:28I
01:41Mean intense
01:43That would be an intense brawl at any sort of town hall meeting
01:47But when you have the mayor actually getting in the middle of it
01:51This is
01:52For a mayor that was already
01:55Controversial right now to have this huge brawl break out. I couldn't tell there I who threw the first punch, right?
02:02Which I think may become relevant. It seems like the mayor's boyfriend come off through the first punch
02:08It seems like he was upset that this activist who goes by Jedediah Brown
02:12Basically called his girlfriend a bitch. So the not basically he did
02:19Very loud and fashionable way
02:21He basically said who who agrees that Tiffany should be off the board a lot of the the members at this meeting said I
02:29Do and he simply said you're done bitch, which got Tiffany's boyfriend upset. He approached Jedediah and
02:37It turned into what we saw. So it's what here's the question
02:41What happens going forward to and I know Tawana you've been speaking to Jedediah this morning. Is there any?
02:48Does anything come of this obviously, it seems like there is gonna be an actual vote eventually
02:54about mayor Henry's future, but
02:57anyone
02:59Gonna take legal action after this brawl
03:01So we were actually gonna have Jedediah on the show
03:04But unfortunately, he was not able to make it because he is in court right now. So he is 1,000% taking legal action
03:10He is trying to get a protective order. He has filed a police report
03:15I want to say for battery
03:17He has mentioned the thought of possibly filing a lawsuit that could be coming down the line in the next coming days
03:23So he is he is very taken aback by this. He feels that this attack was pre-planned
03:29He and Tiffany have had issues ongoing for quite some time for a few months
03:33He has been calling her for her resignation for a while
03:37So the the beef between Tiffany and Jedediah is nothing new
03:41But yes, you can can guarantee that he has decided to take some legal action and might even take it further
03:46Like I said with the lawsuit
03:48Hi, my name is Bree from New Jersey and looking at that is insane
03:51Can you imagine being a fly on the wall at dinner tonight? Like, okay
03:55Thank you for you know defending me, but you also might have cost me my job
03:58I just can't even imagine how that conversation is gonna go. I know you cover a lot of town meetings around
04:04Los Angeles County
04:05Ever seen anything like that not like that and we probably would cover more if we saw more of that
04:11We're not
04:13Not good, that's the way at all. Yeah a lot of attention for this town hall meeting
