Ainsley for thanks for that
report, Todd
Brian over to you,
Brian emergency coronavirus,
hospital in Chicago, was supposed
to deal with the massive influx
of Covid 19 patients.
However, according to a new
report, the fear is unfounded.
The sixty six dollars million project with
two thousand seven hundred beds ended up serving thirty eight
leaving a majority. The tab on
the federal government,
the Chicago mayors, deputy
defending the project, saying
quote its something im
incredibly proud of, and the
money was not spent in vain
here to react- is project Hood
pastor, Corey, Brooks
pastor your reaction to the
lack of need and the money that
was spent,
I understand, being prepared.
Unfortunately, sixty six dollars million and
one dollar and seventy cents million per patient is very
unfortunate thing,
especially when we have areas on
the south side and west side of
Chicago that are impoverished
and dealing with their own
issues that need resources
its unfortunate that those
areas go without, even though we
are facing every single day.
We see taxpayer money being
spent and not used properly.
Fifty six dollars million and one point seven per patient
is a lot of funding.
Brian absolutely
listen to the mayor when asked
about the federal government on
face the nation. Yesterday,
we are never going to get
everything that we need from the
federal government.
If we waited for them, we would
be in dire straits.
It would be great if there was
not the chaos that we have seen
at the federal government.
The White House fighting the
CDC,
Hhs hijacking the reporting
process, and still we dont have
a consistent testing regime.
We still dont have a federal
mask policy
Brian, she is a big blamer and
she needs a mirror.
Well, you know every single
day in the city of Chicago. We
are facing a myriad of issues
that need to be dealt with very
unfortunate, that the areas that
need them, the work and things
need dealt with are not being
dealt with
on the south side of Chicago. We
have so many health. I
specifically violence where
funding is so needed,
but yet we keep seeing funds
being spent in other places and
spent on things when these areas
are being deprived.
Brian pastor, real quick: she
blamed outside forces. U haul
trucks organize to HO just
destroyed some of the most
successful areas in Chicago
she doesnt know or realize that
black lives matter Chicago
organizers, say its all about
reparations. They have insurance
anyway,
black lives matter. Chicago is
not an outside organization.
Your thought
yeah,
my grandfather used to say there
is only one thing: worse than
ignorance and thats, organized
ignorance
and black lives matter seems to
be an organization that is
operating with a lot of egg
nowrns
any time that you say that is
reparations that we can go in
and loot stores and commit
crimes and offer people
opportunities to go to jail.
Because of it is the most stupid
thing that I could ever hear
so im hoping that the leaders
in Chicago will step up and
provide leadership to provide
people going in the right
collection
and thats what needs to happen,
but black lives matter is
definitely operating under a lot
of ignores making statements
like that
Brian, unbelievable.
