>>> DONNYBROOK IS MADE POSSIBLE BY FOUNDATION AND MEMBERS OF NINE PBS.

>> HOT IN THE CITY.

HOT IN THE CITY TONIGHT NE YORK, WELL, ST. LOUIS ANY WAY.

WELCOME TO DONNYBROOK.

I'M IN FOR CHARLIE BRENNAN.

STAY COOL AND HYDRATE.

HYDRATE WENDY FROM KTRS.

ONE OF OUR FOUNDERS BILL FROM THE ST. LOUIS POST DISPATCH.

ANOTHER FOUNDER IS RAY HARTMAN FROM SUBSTACK.

FROM SOMEPLACE ELSE.

WE WILL SIT ON T SITTING IN FOR ME IS SARAH FROM THE EUCLID MEDIA GROUP.

HOW ARE YOU DOING?

>> I'M DOING GOOD.

>> THEY WOULD LIKE TO BUILD MAJOR NEW FACILITY AND EMPLOY 500 ADDITIONAL PEOPLE BUT THERE IS A PRICE TO BE A LOT OF TAXES.

AT LEAST FOR STALLED FOR THEM.

50% ON THEIR REAL ESTATE AND PERSONAL PROPERTY TAX.

IF YOU BUY TRACTORS OR FOR THE PROJECT YOU WON'T HAVE TO PAY THE PERSONAL PROPERTY TAX ON IT.

ONE THAT JUST MAKES THE HAIR ON MY NECK STAND UP.

IF IT'S TOO GOOD PROBABLY IS.

BILL, YOU ON MY SIDE ON TH ONE?

>> I CHANGED MY MIND COMPLETELY.

I USED TO BE AGAINST CORPORATE WELFARE AND NOW I LIKE IT.

I EMBRACE IT.

I THINK, YOU IMPORTANT TO THE REGION AND I NEVER THOUGHT ANHEUSER-BUSCH WOULD EVER GET SOLD OR OTHER BIG COMPANIES WOULD LEAVE.

THE POST DISPATCH WOULD GET SOLD.

WANTS THIS AND I KNOW, TRYING TO GET THE NEXT GENERATION FIGHTER.

IF THEY TRY TO GET IT AND THEY DON'T GET IT WE WILL LOSE ALL OF THE MONEY WE ARE INVESTING IN IT.

MONEY.

>>> THE CHEMICAL BANK BUILDING WOULD LIKE TO MAKE APARTMENTS OUT OF IT.

WE NEED RESI THEY ARE ASKING FOR A TAX BREAK.

PERSONALLY, THIS ONE SOUNDS FEASIBLE, BOEING DOESN'T.

SAM WAY?

>> SAME WAY.

>> I'M ALL FOR GIVIN CHEMICAL BANK MONEY.

I THOUGHT THEY WERE DOING HOTELS BUT IF IT'S APARTMENT.

>> THEY ARE DOING HOTELS.

>> DOWNTOWN IS IN TERRIBLE SHAPE AND I CAN'T IMAGE ANYONE PUTTING MONEY INTO UNLESS THEY GET A BREAK.

BEHIND BOEING AND START GIVING YOU MONEY.

I'D GIVE THEM MONE >> WAIT, I HAVE TO I HAVE TO ARGUE WITH YOU.

IF THERE IS EVER A TAX BREAK I COULD GET BEHIND IS BOEING.

THEY WILL CREATE JOBS IN NORTH COUNTY.

FOR DOWNTOWN, WE HAVE SO MANY HOTELS DOWNTOWN AND SO MANY UNDER CONSTRUCTION.

WE HOTELS GOING UNDER BECAUSE PEOPLE DON'T WANT TO STAY IN THEM.

90% TAX ABATEMENT AT ANOTHER HOTEL.

IT BOGGLES MY MIND.

>> THE LAST NEXT FI GHTER WAS DISCONTINUED BY THE GOVERNMENT, ISN'T THAT CORRECT.

I LOVE THE BACKYARD, YOU KNOW, THE WAY WE GO INTO THIS DEAL BECAUSE THE BOEING THING DOES MAKE ME NERVOUS, BECAUSE I KEPT WAITING AND READING FOR A PROMISE AND THERE IS NO PROMIS THE LINE WILL CONTINUE.

>> I'M CONFUSED.

NOW THAT SARAH BOSS I'D LIKE TO DISAGREE WITH YOU.

ACTUALLY, NO.

THE CH HISTORIC BUILDING.

SOMETHING THAT SHOULD QUALIFY FOR SOME SORT OF TAX CREDITS >> 90%?

A PROBLEM WITH THE AT&T TOWER THAT WASN'T HISTORIC.

YOU TALK ABOUT HISTORIC PRESERVATION DOWNTOWN, I'M ALL IN.

FROM THE FELLOW FOUNDER.

ON BOEING, I HAVE TO SAY IT'S OUR PIECE OF AN AWFUL AND IMMORAL TREND.

THAT IS IT'S NOT EVEN AM IMMORAL FOR COMPANIES ASKING FOR THE TAX BREAK THEY DON'T NEED.

THE PROBLEM IS, UNILATERAL DISARMERMENT DOESN'T WORK.

WE TALK ABOUT WEAPONS OF DESTRUCTION.

STATE IS NOT WILLING TO BASICALLY AT GUNPOINT AGREE TO TAX BREAKS LIKE BOEING THEY HAVE OTHER OPTIONS AND CITIES STATES AND COUNTIES THAT WILL DO IT.

POLITICIANS ARE PUT IN BY COMPANIES LIKE BOEING.

I THINK IT'S WRONG >> I THINK IT'S CL THE TOURISM INDUSTRY IS ALWAYS PRETENDING EVERY DOLLARS SPENT IS LIKE FIVE DOLLARS BECAUSE WITH BOEING, IT'S ACTUALLY TRUE.

A BIG COMPANY LIKE BOEING THOSE PEOPLE HAVE GOOD PAYING JOBS, THEY BUY HOMES, THEY BUY CARS.

>> BUT FOR HOW LONG?

IF THERE IS NO GUARANTEE.

I UNDERSTAND GUARANTEES ARE HARD TO COME BY.

THE COMPANY IS CAPITALIZING AND WEAPONNIZING OUR SOFT SPOT FOR AERONOTTICS.

GETTING THE NEXT GENERATION FIGHTER UNLESS THEY SPEND THE MONEY.

>> WE WILL LET SEATTLE HAVE IT OR SAY THEY ARE PRETTY GOOD.

>> I'D LIKE TH WHEN YOU HIRE 150 PEOPLE OF 500 AND SHIFT PEOPLE AROUND THAT WORK THERE, Y FULFILLED YOUR PROMISE FOR WHY YOU GOT THE TAX BREAKS IN THE FIRST PLACE.

MAYBE YOU SCALE OR DON'T HIRE AS MANY PEOPLE.

JOBS WE WOULD TALK ABOUT WHEN WE TALK ABOUT BOEING.

>> YEAH.

>> D WITH PEOPLE IN AIRBNBs ACTING CRAZY AS HECK AND SHOOTING NOT TO MAKE LIGHT OF IT.

THE PROBLEM WILL BE AD THE BOARD AND THEY PUT IT ON HOLD UNTIL THE FOG.

FALL.

>> IT'S SUCH A PROBLEM.

I'M A PROUD CITY RECOGNIZE THIS IS THE NUMBER ONE THING I HEAR PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT.

SOMEONE HAD A PROBLEM AIRBNB IN THE BASEMENT AND GOT SO MUCH FEEDBACK ON THE STORY.

MOST OF IT WAS FRO SAYING HEY, I'M DEALING WITH SOMETHING LIKE MY NEIGHBORHOOD.

IT'S NOT JUST DOWNTOWN BUT SHAW AND LAFAYETTE SQUARE.

SOME NEIGHBORHOO THRIVING ARE THREATENED BY THIS.

IT'S FLUSTERING TO A LOT OF CITY RESIDENTS THE BOARD DIDN'T MAKE THIS A PRIORITY TO GET IT BEFORE THE BREAK.

THEY A SEPTEMBER.

CLOSE TO CONCERN AS YO &g t;> WILL IT BE BETTER SINCE THEY HAVE 14 MEMBERS INSTEAD OF 28.

>> NO.

> IT'S NOT JUST DOWNTOWN DOWNTOWN HAS THE ADDED BENEFIT -- I SHOULDN'T SAY BENEFIT BUT AIRBNBs ARE NOT HOTELS, FRIENDS.

FORTH.

IT'S PART OF THE CITY'S LACK OF RESPECT FOR THE DOWNTOWN PROPERTY OWNERS.

IT'S JUST, IT REAL CAUSES PROBLEMS FOR DOWNTOWN RESIDENTS AND ADDS TO THE CRIME PROBLEM AND THERE IS REALLY NO REASON, A LOT OF CITIES ARE EITHER JUST BANNED AIRBNB TYPE FACILITIES.

IT'S NOT JUST AI AIRBNB AND SHORT-TERM RENTALS.

>> WHOSE ON THE OTHE >> OH.

>> I REACTION WHILE READING THE STORY.

OF MY THOUGHT PROCESS, APPARENTLY MY ABILITY TO SPEAK, CLEARLY.

ARE MAKING IT SO HARD.

WE ARE PUTTING SO MUCH T AROUND THE AIRBNB.

WAIT A MINUTE NEWT.

THIS IS LIKE ANCIE THE AIRBNBs.

A LOT OF PEOPLE FEEL, CERTAINLY FOR THE EXISTING DOWNTOWN BUSINESSES COMPETING WITH THE AIRBNBs AND KNUCKLE HEADS LIKE ME THAT KNEEJERK REACTION THEY ARE TRYING TO DO SOMETHING THE WILL NO LONGER BE ABLE TO DO IT.

>> LET ME LEAN-TO YOUR SIDE A BIT.

RESPONSIBILITY AND BEHAVIOR SHOULDN'T PRECLUDE THOSE WHO SCREEN THEIR CLIENTS AND YOU ARE TAKING THAT RIGHT FROM THEM.

>> YOU ARE NOT.

THEY ARE NOT TAL BAN.

BANS.

REGULATIONS.

THAT OWN AIRBNBs.

THERE ARE CITIES THAT FOUND WAYS IF SOMEONE OWNS AN EXTRA HOUSE OR TWO AND WANT TO DO IT AS A SHORT-TERM RENTAL.

WE KNOW WHO REACH THEM.

THAT'S NOT THE PRO LOUIS.

IT'S AIRBNBs ARBITRAGE.

PEOPLE WHO RENT THEM OUT AND DON'T LIVE HERE AND CYCLE PE THROUGH FOR PARTIES AND PROSTITUTION AND NO ACCOUNTABLE ACCOUNTABILITY.

WITHOUT BANNING SHORT-TERM RENTALS.

TO STAY.

AS YOU POINT OUT, YOU CAN REGULATE THEM AND IN MY MIND, IN A DOWNTOWN AREA, OTHER PLACES HAVE BANNED THEM.

I THINK THEY ACTUALLY, COMPETE WITH THE HOTEL/MOTEL INDUSTRY.

REFERRED TO EARLIER.

I DON'T THINK IT'S UNREASONABLE NOT GUILTNOT TO HAVE THEM AT ALL WHEN IT COMES TO AREAS YOU TRY TO HAVE VISITORS AND SO FORT.

>> ARBITRAGE BUSINESS, I FEEL THE SAME WAY ABOUT THEY BUY A LOT OF HOMES AND RENT THEM OUT AND PEOPLE CAN'T GET STARTED BECAUSE THE MARKET HAS BEEN TAKEN.

>> THERE ARE CITIES THAT DO ING SOMETHING ABOUT THAT.

IT'S NOT SOMETHING I SEE THE BOARD OF ALDERMAN LEADERSHIP ON.

THE NEW CREW LONG.

I' THEY SHOULD PRIORITIZE THE QUALITY OF LIFE ISSUES.

>> DOWNTOWN IS IMPORTANT.

>> YOU ARE JUST SAYING IT'S NOT AN EITHER OR PROPOSITION.

THERE IS A GRAY AREA TO WORK WITH.

RE GULATIONS.

AIRBNB PARTY.

>&g BETWEEN FORMER CONTROLLER AND FORMER MAYOR JONES.

HE CALLED THE SLADE PATROL THIS WEEK.

I HAVE BEEN AGAINST THE ACTIONS OF ESOP AND THEY ARE REAPING WHAT THEY SOWED.

I DON'T LIKE A PROBLEM HE SAID.

>> YES I DON'T CARE H HIS PREROGATIVE.

I ETHICAL SOCIETY OF POLICE AND I DISAGREED WITH THEM WHEN THEY JOINED WITH THE POLICE U CALLING FOR REINSTITUTING STATE CONTROLLED POLICE.

THAT.

IN THE CITY AND COUNTY.

THE ETHICAL SOCIETY OF POLICE.

THE FIRST BLACK OFFICERS UNION IN THE COUNTRY TO FEEL THE NEED TO EXIST BECAUSE OF THE RACIALLY CHALLENGED VIEWS OF THE POLICE UNION, THEY HAVE DONE GREAT STUFF.

GOOD EXAMP DON'T UNDERSTAND, THE MAYOR JONES' ADMINISTRATION IS HEATHER TAYLOR KEY FIGURE IN ESOP AND HAS BEEN TREATED UNFAIRLY IN MY MIND BY THE CITY.

APPEALING AND REAPPEALING VALI CASE OF DISCRIMINATION AGAINST THE POLICE.

I THINK THING FOR MAYOR JONES THEY HAVE THIS WAR WITH ESOP.

>> I DO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE WAY VIRVUS BECAME THE CHIEF.

IT MAKES ME UNCOMFORTABLE TO HEAR ANY AFRICAN-AMERICAN INFER THAT ANY OTHER AFRICAN-AMERICANS ARE SLAVE HUNTERS, TO IMPLY THEY ARE ON THE LEVEL OF SLAVE HUNTERS OR THEIR OWN HISTORY IS ANY LESS PAINFUL.

I JUST HAVE A PROBLEM WITH T AS AN OBSERVER.

>> I WOULD SAY, I THOUGHT IT W GOOD WHEN ESOP AND THE POLICE ASSOCIATION WERE ON THE SAME SIDE ON SOMETHING.

IT WAS LIKE >> TO HAVE THE MAYOR'S DAD COME BACK TO YOU AND BE PART OF THE SLAVE PATROL.

CHALLENGES.

I DIDN'T AGR GET STATE PATROL.

THEY ARE A UNION F MEMBERS.

BODY.

UNDER THE STATE THAN THEY DO UNDER THE CITY, WE SHOULD LISTEN TO THAT.

I'M NOT IN FAVOR CHANGE WHAT SO EVER.

THEY FEEL LIKE THINGS WERE WORKING AT THAT POINT.

THAT'S THEIR EXPER ATTACK THEM OVER IT.

>> LIKE I SAID, TH FIELD OF PLAY.

NOW THEY WILL GET INSU I WAS INSULTED BY THEIR ACTIONS AND STILL AM.

IF BLACK PEOPLE ARE DISCUSSING OTHER BLACK PEOPLE YOU WILL HEAR A LOT OF THINGS.

I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY SAID THAT.

THAT'S THE REALITY OF IT.

A BRIDGE TOO FAR ESOP.

I HOPE Y'ALL CAN BUILD A RELATIONSHIP WITH THE MAYOR.

YOU DREW THE LINE.

IF YOU ARE MAD BECAUSE P ARE MAD THAT'S TOO BAD.

>>> JONNY JOHNSON IS FACING THE DEATH PENALTY BUT THERE ARE QUESTIONS ABOUT HIS MENTAL CAPACITY TO BE EXECUTED.

I FEEL LIKE, WHATEVER IS GOING ON, THIS GENTLEMAN NEEDS TO GO.

>> THIS MURDER HE COMMITTED AND THERE IS NO DOUBT HE COMMITTED THE MURDER.

THIS IS AMONG TH MURDERS I HAVE READ ABOUT IN MY YEARS OF REPORTING.

THIS WAS AN 6-YEAR-OLD GIRL, AN ATTEMPTED RAIN, AND BASHING HER HEAD IN WITH A BRICK.

YET, THE SUPREME COURT FOUND YOU CAN'T EXECUTE PEOPLE UNLESS THEY ARE SANE ENOUGH TO UNDERSTAND WHAT'S GOING ON AROUND THEM.

HIS LAWYERS FILED A 72 PAGE BRIEF WHERE IT SEEMS CLEAR THIS GUY HAS A HISTORY OF MENTAL ILLNESS THAT PREDATES THE TERRIBLE ACT.

AND OUT OF PSYCHIATRIC CLINICS BY THE TIME HE COMMITTED THE CRIME.

CAN'T EXECUTE THIS MAN.

THE APPEALS COURT LOOKED AT THIS.

AND FORTH.

PEOPLE PUT TO DEATH IN RESENT MONTHS.

MAN.

INTERVENE TO STOP THIS.

IT'S INTERESTING THEY ARE SAYING THERE ARE REAL LEGAL QUESTIONS HERE.

ASKING FOR LENIENCY.

>> I THOUGHT THAT WAS SO INTERESTING.

>> IT'S THE CASEY ANDERSON CASE THAT WAS A HUGE STORY TWO DECADES AGO.

THIS HAPPENED 20 YEARS AGO.

I CIRCLED THE ISSUE.

AT THE TIME I WAS FOR PENALTY BACK THEN.

I EACI'M AGAINST IT DNA EVIDENCE SHOWS WE HAVE ONE A YEAR WE HAVE THE WRONG PERSON.

>> I THINK HE'S THE RIGHT PERSON.

IF YOU ARE FOR THE DEATH PENALTY IT'S OBVIOUSLY ABOUT AS UNDERSTANDABLE A CASE AS POSSIBLE.

ON ON RECORD.

ON T IT BECAUSE I'M NOT SOLD WE GET IT RIGHT.

I WILL SAY, TO YOUR POINT, THERE WAS PRETTY CREDIBLE EVIDENCE ON THIS CASE THERE ARE QUESTIONS ABOUT WHETHER HE UNDERSTOOD THIS.

FOREVER.

REJECTED THE ARGUMENT OF HIS MENTAL ILLNESS AS EARLY AS 2012.

THIS CASE GOES ON AND ON AND IT'S A PAINFUL ONE, THAT'S FOR SURE.

&g TOO.

I THREE EXECUTIONS.

I USED TO SUPPORT THE DEATH PENALTY AND NO LONGER DO.

IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH DNA EVIDENCE OR NOT.

I WAS CONVINCED THE MORAL OF THE EQUATION THAT I WAS ON THE WRONG SIDE.

>> ALL RIGHT, WELL ENTERTAINER CALLED SEXY RED DID A SHOW AT HAZELWOOD SCHOOL DISTRICT AND GOT COMPLETELY OUT OFFHAND.

NOT THAT HIP-HOP SHOULDN'T BE ENTERTAINING AT A HIGH SCHOOL BUT THIS SEE A BAD IDEA.

>> THE PERFORMER KNO RED CAME OUT WITH HER MIDDLE FINGERS FLYING AND SET THE TONE FOR THE PERFORMANC I FEEL LIKE THE STORY IS ACTUALLY JUST THAT THE GROWN UPS HAVE SURRENDERED.

JUST SURRENDERED COMMON SENSE IN AN ATTEMPT TO BRING THE CHILDREN BACK INTO THE CLASSROOM IN EVERY WAY.

LEARNING IS SEEING EVERYTHING THAT A PLACE OF LEARNING HAS TO OFFER IN TERMS OF A FUTURE.

WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH THAT?

I DON'T I WILL GIVE THEM I THINK, THEIR HEART, JUST BECAUSE I THINK THEIR HEAR WERE IN THE RIGHT PLACE.

IN THE SAME WAY TELEVISION SET TO GET KIDS TO GO TO THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL SOUNDS CRAZY TO PEOPLE WHO AREN'T ACTUALLY INSIDE THE SCHOOLS, YOU KNOW, WHO DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT EDUCATORS ARE UP AGAINST.

THIS WAS A FLAMING DISASTER.

>> THIS WAS A RIVERFRONT TIMES STORY.

YOU HAVE THE VIDEO.

YOU HAVE SEEN IT AND IT'S POST NOW.

>> I HAZELWOOD CENTRAL TO ANSWER OUR QUESTIONS ABOUT TH THEY HAVE NO CALLS?

HOW DID THIS GO AWRY?

I APPRECIATE MEETING THE STUDENTS WHERE THEY WERE AT.

IT WAS A PREP RALLY.

THIS IS AN APPROPRIATE PLACE FOR A RAPPER.

WENT DOWN.

THEY THE CROWD AND TOLD HER TO COME IN WITH TWO MIDDLE FINGERS BLAZING.

>> SHOUT OUT TO THE RIVERFRONT TIMES.

I'M NOT SYMPATHETIC TO HAZELWOOD CENTRAL BECAUSE IN THIS ERA OF THE CULTURE WAR REASONABLE PEOPLE DON'T NEED THIS KIND OF HEADLINE AND EXAMPLE FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO SENSOR OUR SCHOOLS AND BAN THE BOOKS AND DO ALL OF THE OTHER EVIL THINGS THAT THE RIGHT WANT TO DO TO SCHOOL.

THIS WAS SUCH POOR JUDGMENT ON THEIR PART.

>> INVITING HER?

>> WHAT DID YO TO HAPPEN?

>> I'M NOT SAYING TH BRING IN NATE KING COAL OR JONNY MATHIS.

I HAS BEEN WORKING FOR PEOPLE AND THE GANGSTER STUFF AND SHOOT THEM UP.

I THINK BRING IN SEXIY RED TO A HIGHIY RED TO A HI GH SCHOOL.

>> I'M UNHIP ENOUGH HEARD OF SEXY RED BEFORE.

ARE YOU REAL SURPRISED AT THIS OUTCOME?

&g >> IT DIDN'T MAKE GOOD SENSE.

HAZEL WOOHAZEWOODHAZELWOOD OF ALL PLACES.

>> I DON'T THINK INVITING HIP-HOP ARTIST OR RAP ARTIST GOES AWRY LIKE THIS.

ACCORDING TO YOUR STORY THERE WERE GUNS, MARIJUANA, AND FIGHTING BREAKING OUT.

I SAID THI CULTURE ISN'T DOING US A LOT OF GOOD.

JUST THE FACT THEY INVITED THE HIP-HOP FOLKS.

>> THA THAN >> IT WAS THE ONES INVITE OR THEY WEREN'T INCONTR OF THE SITUATION.

>> THERE WASN'T A >> RIGHT, THIS COULD HAVE BEEN DONE PROPERLY.

YOU HAVE TO MEET T THEY ARE AND FIND A WAY TO DO THIS PROFESSIONALLY.

>> O LETTERS.

>> THE D ANTIRACISM MESSAGES FROM FRANCIS HOHOWELL IF THE SIGNS WERE MEANINGLESS AND VISITED SCHOOLS TO INSPIRE AND HELP STUDENTS SUCCEED.

TH I COULDN'T WRAP MY MIND AROUND THE SUPPORT OF CONTINUED CASH BAIL BY EVERYONE EXCEPT RAY LAST THURSDAYS.

THURSDAY.

WHY SHOULD THE RICH MAN BU FREEDOM AND THE POOR MAN STAY IN JAIL UNTIL HE STANDS TRIAL.
