  • Interesting that they are so concerned about the use of profanity because “people of all age are listening” but they have no problem putting pornography in the school libraries where kids can learn about oral and anal sex in graphic detail. What a bunch of hypocrites!
  • Don't they understand that Brandon Johnson isn't going to hear anything they have to say. the only way anything will change is if they VOTE HIM OUT.

    Im a Mexican living in Mexico and I agree with the people of the United States. The Govt can’t house homeless in their own country but they can house the immigrants. Each government needs to put its people first. Wherever it may be

    That woman in purple is a disgrace, smirking, laughing, and rolling her eyes while the people that pay taxes, and live there are treated like dirt.
  • @sarahcasey7172
    Exactly what Trump said in 2016: “They’re not sending their best”. Chicago residents still voted for HRC. Now do they see Trump was right or still vote Democrat?
  • Hey Chicago in these illegal immigrant hotels do you think you could spare a few rooms for a homeless American citizen or possibly a homeless American veteran?
  • @megg.6651
    When the woman talked about Cuba sending their criminals here - that's what Trump was talking about - and he was labeled a racist - so, now what do you think?
  • @anthonyhart9400
    The woman speaker who spoke about Scarface, spoke truth. The politicians didn’t even listen to the speakers…the train has left the station for regular American citizens of all groups.

    As a white immigrant from Poland, it took me 10 years to become a USA citizen. I stand with every American Citizen, regardless of race or affiliation. This country is being sold out. The reaction of the woman in purple at 1:19 is very telling. No compassion or empathy from them? Have no compassion or mercy for them. Kudos to the citizens for speaking out, being constructive, and keeping civil.
  • Not a single one of them is engaged and listening to the citizens that are paying their taxes, outrageous.. our politicians forgot who they work for
  • @genegeorge8529
    Vote these people out of office, or recall them from their office. They work for you the people.
  • Pay attention for heavens sake. Listen to the American people. This mayor and staff should be ashamed of themselves not giving their 100% attention. There’s such a disconnect.
  • @kirknunya4291
    And the mayor stands up there like he’s taking all this in. He couldn’t give a sh*t less what these people are saying.
  • @Keonahawk24
    If you voted democrat…. You voted for this and should take responsibility for what’s happened in your community and country.
  • @DarthPookie101
    As an American, I can honestly say I am proud to share this country with these patriots and countrymen who are standing up for their communities and more importantly their country. Keep up your dedication and know that the rest of the country supports your cares and concerns. This is what it means to be American, God bless you in all you do.
  • @DFord-rv3nz
    There's no more white and black there's only Americans first. If we don't stick together and fix this mess no one else is going to do it for us. I'm a white 52-year-old Republican and I'm telling you everyone is equal and everyone needs to lift each other up equally. This is the perfect opportunity Nationwide for equality in every way. The majority of Americans are low income or low income families and we're all looked over no one's ever handed me anything I've had to work for everything and I don't have much
  • @SnarlaRae
    Does anyone else see how certain groups are being used as Useful Idiots?
  • @firefighterd1265
    All those council members sitting there having sidebar conversations, not really caring about the public comments. They are just checking the box so they can say they allowed the public to "have a voice."
