Barack Obama tonight being forced to defend himself against allegations that his Southside Chicago presidential Center will gentrified the neighborhood. Raise prices, drive poor families from the area I dont know, maybe its like Obama, Disney Heres. His response. The truth is any time you do. A big project is always going to be some people who say well. Look we dont want change, were worried about it. We dont know how its going to turn out, which is why weve gone through such an exhaustive process to encourage and elicit comments and concerns and criticism and suggestions from the community here for reaction, Georgia, Senate candidate Herschel Walker, along with Fox NEWS contributor, LEO Terrell, if I dont really understand it im all for I couldnt understand: Ocasio Cortez, the real speaker of the House, Herschel Walker, when Amazon wanted to greet these jobs in her district. I would be like
all over that. Why didnt she allow that. I want to see you know areas in Chicago get investment money. This will be like Disney Obama Disney. You get to see everything Obama! Well, you know sometimes Sean youre never going to make some unhappy. This is the opportunity that the Obamas have to empower the community, so people should be applauding it rather than making fun of it, or they should be talking about something thats very great there that Mayor Lightfoot went from defunding the police to funding the police, because, right now what Obama is talking about is giving people jobs, but I think youve got to hold people accountable and what I mean by that is got to hire people from the neighborhood to work at that library. They got to hire people in the neighborhood to build that library. This is the thing LEO we want money invested money creates, you know, construction jobs, it creates full time jobs,
the Obama, library, people that work and give tours and concession stand people I dont know what you have at a library ive been to the Reagan, library, the Nixon Library I like them. Why wouldnt? They want that and think thats a good thing. Let me be as clear as I can and explain to the viewers. This is an ultimate act of selfishness on the part of the Obamas. Libraries are called five hundred and fifty dollars million. You really went all the people of color people who look like him, build that library and the poorest area of Chicago the black area for economic developing. Does he do that? No, no! No! He goes to the lakefront. He takes the nicest part of the black area and he wants to destroy that the lakefront. Why wont he build it in the inner city? This is the man who is his color to basically downplay the criticism. Environmentalists and activists are saying, dont build it here,
build it in Chicago in a southside where people of color are hurting hes, not listening to them. He is more than a land, barren and hes, using im going to tell you one of my biggest criticisms, all through the Obama years, Herschel Walker. This is the only show we would scroll the names of all the people that nobody hears their names, the people shot the people shot and killed nobody paid attention. Nobody cares his George Floyd importance, yes, but every single person shot and killed in Chicago every weekend. They are important too, and ive been doing this since two thousand and nine on this program and nobody ever lifts a finger and every weekend another fifty people shot another twelve people dropped killed in a shooting. You know one of the things Sean and im going to disagree with LEO just a little bit, because I love LEO hes, my brother, but I say one of my chopped liver, wait a minute, no, no, no, no Sean.
But what im going to say here, real quick is, I think you can empower this community how little bit at the same time, I think people have to worry about law and order. I think, have to empower the community but youre also going to have policing thats got to come into that as well. So now youve got to have policing thats going to be paying more money and thats. What I was talking about earlier has anyone ever talked about what Mayor Lightfoot decided that you know defunding the police didnt work that now I got to defund the police thats. What we need to be talking about not worried about something like this, the library that can also help people at the end of the day, if you dont have law and order, and safety and security you cant pursue happiness by the way LEO supporting her.
