🚨Obama's Chicago LIBRARY Staff DROPS a BOMB on Him And Now Democrats Are TERRIFIED!

Just on our internals, the overall monies expended on this project have now reached nearly four million dollars in the red. That's in totality over the last five years. That is a hole that no subcontractor, small business can survive. And unfortunately my losses are on the smaller side compared to some of my peers. I think the goal at one point was to break even. Now it's just to survive. Financially, our reserves have been completely drained. We are barely getting by right now. Unfortunately, we're probably going to have to lay off union workers here in the short term so that we can regroup and lick our wounds and hopefully live to fight another day. I said it before, I'll say it again. If I were looking for a good job that lets me build some security for my family, I'd join a union. At the Obama Foundation and Presidential Center say they are forming a union. The group called Obama Workers United says that employees are dealing with heavy workloads, cutbacks to benefits and high turnover. The Obama Foundation says it supports workers right to organize. Is this constant war against unions, a constant attack on working Americans by weakening worker protections, undermining workplace safety, gutting your ability to save for retirement, preventing you from forming a union i mean this is a party that says it wants to rebrand itself they said they want to be the party of the American worker and the party of higher wages well that's great but think about it they oppose raising the minimum wage they're doing everything they can to bust unions and then they want to claim to be the party of the American worker Obama's own people just turned on him not republicans not MAGA his own staff at his own building named after himself this is kind of like getting fired from your own birthday party now here's the twist guys 68 workers at the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago just announced that they're forming a union against the Obama Foundation Mr. pro-union himself Obama the Chicago Sun-Times broke the story their complaints health care costs going up time off going down no raises no promotions promotions are basically frozen health care costs going up somebody check on the guy who promised that that wouldn't happen i hear he likes his doctor oh but it gets even better than that. A minority-owned union plumbing company just shut down and laid off its workers over a reported $4 million payment fight. The man has mansions, a Netflix deal, and the plumber's waiting on a check. Hope and change, folks. Hope and change. The plumber hoped, nothing changed. You guys want to visit? Bring your photo ID. No ID, no entry. Voting for president? Ah, ID optional. Then there's the $40 million discrimination lawsuit against the engineering firm and the $850 million price tag for a building that neighbors say looks like a jail or a trash can or a rock. Even the pet rock guy is jealous. Meanwhile, in Richmond, Virginia, Barack Obama Elementary School just closed indefinitely for mold and rats. The legacy really isn't being written anymore. It's being fumigated. And this is all coming today as school advocates were pushing for the 1% sales tax, which would fund school repairs and construction Emma is live at Barack Obama Elementary School with the details. Emma. Yeah, Deanna, Eric, this school here behind me is empty. No teachers or students were here for the first day of school today. It's closed after several failed air quality tests and mold growth was found on laptops. Superintendent Jason Kamras tells us they're doing everything to make sure it's safe inside before anyone is let back in. Today, RPS chief operations officer telling people in the building to leave. Families were first alerted last Wednesday of mold growth in the basement. RPS then conducted several air quality tests. And after tests yesterday showed the elevated mold only in certain areas, teachers and parent volunteers were finally allowed in today to set up classrooms. But several parents inside the building told 8 News they saw mold across the school. Parents just heard from Superintendent Kamras in a town hall tonight. He says the parents have two options. One option to focus on going back to Obama, knowing there may be elevated levels in some rooms. Remediation results would come back this weekend. Another option, move kids and teachers to Clark Springs Elementary for the first quarter. Kamras says it would be unfair for teachers to set up there, only to be moved back to Obama. Regardless, school is already closed for Obama students tomorrow. In a press conference today, Richmond Mayor Danny Avula says the city has not kept pace with the investment needed to build and maintain schools like Obama. Kamras, school board and council members joined him to advocate on behalf of the sales tax that they say will generate $47 million a year for school construction. We want them all to be environmentally healthy and safe, and Barack Obama is one of them. and the commitment to make sure that that gets corrected is the case for all of us. The superintendent also letting us know that no one was in the areas where testing found those elevated mold levels. We'll have the latest for you as soon as we get it. Live in Richmond, Emma Goldscoff, 8 News. Eric Trump called this a year ago and offered to finish the thing himself. Reagan built a masterpiece. Obama built a bunker with a gift shop in it. The media? Oh, if this was President Trump's library, CNN would park a news van in the lobby. For Obama? Crickets. So today, you're going to get the receipts, all of them.

And if you enjoy the show, just hit the like button. I appreciate you. And I want to be very clear about who's revolting here. These are not critics. These are not protesters. These are people who woke up one morning and they said, you know what, you know where I want to work? The Obama Center. That's right. The true believers, the front row, and 68 of them, by the way, they just signed a letter saying enough. They want a union. They want to form a union, the Obama Workers Union. In fact, the Chicago Sun-Times printed the whole thing but think about that right barack obama spent years telling america that unions protect the little guy and his own workers had to organize against him i said it before i'll say it again if i were looking for a good job that lets me build some security for my family i'd join you that the obama foundation and presidential centers say they are forming a union the group called obama workers united says that employees are dealing with heavy workloads cutbacks to benefits and high turnover the obama foundation says it supports workers right to organize is this constant war against unions a constant attack on working americans by weakening worker protections undermining workplace safety gutting your ability to save for retirement preventing you from forming a union i mean this is a party that says it wants to rebrand itself they said they want to be the party of the american worker and the party of higher wages well that's great but think about it They oppose raising the minimum wage, they're doing everything they can to bust unions, and then they want to claim to be the party of the American worker. This is not irony, guys. This is a boomerang with a return address. And the media? Picture this story with President Trump's name on the door. Every network, every hour, red breaking news banners left and right, six experts in a box. But for Obama? A shrug, maybe, maybe the weather. But here's the part that should really kind of make you sit up. Read their complaints out loud. They sound exactly like America from 2009 to 2017. You just heard it. If this were Trump's library, every network would run it 24 hours a day. But for Obama, we got crickets. So what's in the letter, right? Well, let's go down the list, shall we? Healthcare costs, going up Paid time off, going down Promotions, frozen Raises this winter, zero Now look at that list again. Who promised America healthcare costs would drop? Who said the average family would save $2,500 a year? who said, if you like your plan, you can keep your plan? That guy. That's right, guys. The guy whose name is on the building. His own employees just got the Obamacare experience, up close, personal, with a name tag. Now, most politicians break promises to strangers. Obama broke his promise to the people who were running his own gift shop. Oh, and this place opened just a couple months ago. Most jobs give you a honeymoon. The Obama Foundation, they skipped the honeymoon and went straight to the divorce lawyer. So when workers complain, what did the leadership say? vague answers nothing solid just words petty words hopeful words words that don't cover the copay does any of this sound familiar so now here's where the letter gets confusing the workers say that their workload keeps going up stretched thin overwhelmed drowning okay fair enough guys let's go ahead and check the crowds reports say attendance at the Obama Presidential Center it's coming in below projections staff projections eliminated hours cut so let me get this straight here. Fewer visitors, fewer workers, shorter hours, and somehow more work? Folks, the math doesn't add up. The math ain't mathing. This place gets less foot traffic than a Kmart. And Kmart is basically a ghost story now. Something you tell your grandkids around a campfire. So which is it? Too busy? Or too empty? Here's my guess. Both. Because when you run things the Obama way, you get the worst of everything at the same time. Empty halls and burnt out staff. A giant budget and no money for raises. This is not a museum. This is a magic trick. And the audience just walked out before the end. Now look, you already know that one friend who still has a Hope poster rolled up somewhere in their garage. Send them this video. Don't say a word. Just don't even add an emoji. Just send the video and let the receipts do the talking. Now let's talk about the people who actually built the thing. Not Obama, obviously. The plumbers. A small minority owned union plumbing company in Chicago. The exact kind of business that the Obama Foundation bragged about hiring press releases ribbon cuttings big smiles for the cameras then came the bill about four million dollars the company says the money didn't come guys so they suspended all operations and laid off their workers now let that sink in a small business was crushed while building a monument to hope just on our internals the overall monies expended on this project have now reached nearly four million dollars in the red that's in totality over the last five years that is a hole that no subcontractor small business can survive and unfortunately my losses are on the smaller side compared to some of my peers I think the goal at one point was to break even now it's just to survive financially our reserves have been completely drained we We are barely getting by right now. Unfortunately, we're probably going to have to lay off union workers here in the short term so that we can regroup and lick our wounds and hopefully live to fight another day. That's where we're at. For me, I know for a fact it's been an emotional roller coaster, and I'm just, I'm cooked emotionally. And I have to fight for my company and for my people, and that's what I'm doing today. I believe my peers, just through internal conversations with them, are deeper in the but I think also my peers have a little bit more pressure on them to maybe keep things more in house. And I completely understand that. But as for me and my company, I'm at the end of my rope and I see no other choice than to have to tell my story. And unfortunately, this is not to embarrass anybody, but this is just to make sure that the truth gets told out here of what has happened here to the companies that poured their heart and soul into getting this job complete and operational. We were made to cut all the insulation off of the piping for the storm system and then forced to retest areas that did not need to be tested. In turn, Adamson had to go back and redo work that caused a tremendous financial strain on the company to the tune of nearly $900,000. That hit alone is something very hard to recover from, especially on a job this size. Meanwhile, Barack Obama, he's got book deals, a beach estate in Martha's Vineyard, more bathrooms than that plumber has trucks left. Look, somebody please explain how a guy with that many toilets can't pay the man who installed them. So here's a fair question. should there be a lien on the mansions? And a word of advice for the Obama Center, when you stiff your plumber, good luck with those pipes. That building is going to need to gurgle for 20 years, okay? You want to see the Obama Center? Great. Bring your photo ID. No ID, no entry. Turned away at the door. Sorry, friends. Now, hold that thought just for a second, right? Because Barack Obama's party has spent years telling America that asking for ID at the voting booth is unfair, mean, it's practically un-American. So let's compare that, shall we? So picking the next president of the United States, eh, who needs paperwork, right? Looking at a display about Barack Obama, papers please. The voting booth gets the honor system. The gift shop gets a bouncer. So you'll get checked harder walking into the Obama Center than walking into a Las Vegas nightclub. And at least the nightclub has people inside. Yeah, those attacks are just a load of crap i mean the bottom line is we made it easy to vote but hard to cheat and for all the hype and hysteria back then wisconsin's a prime example each of the presidential elections since i signed photo identification to vote into law has actually had a higher turnout so for all the hysteria out there it actually made it easier to vote if you're a legitimate american citizen who's qualified to vote in that jurisdiction but it made it harder to cheat and oh by the way it's not just New York City. If you go into Chicago to the Obama Center, they actually require photo ID to prove that you get the in-state discount. So even Barack Obama's place, as ugly as it is outside, still requires photo ID. It only makes sense. Now, I've got a simple tip if you forget your wallet. Just tell them that you're there to vote. They'll wave you right on in, maybe even hand you a free tote bag. This is the whole philosophy in one front door. Rules for you, a velvet rope for them. Look, we're not showing pictures today, so let me go ahead and paint it for you, okay? Picture this. Picture a gray concrete wall. Now, matter of fact, picture a gray concrete block, tall, flat, barely any windows, sitting in Jackson Park like somebody dropped it from space and forgot to come back and get it. Price tag, $850 million for this thing. And Barack Obama, he posted a photo of it proudly, like a dad hanging macaroni art on the refrigerator. So folks in Chicago, they were asked what it looks like. Fair question, right? You heard a few already. Here's the full list. A jail, a phone booth, a trash can, a rock, a gray mountain, and the time travel box from Doctor Who. Yeah, yeah. Not one person said inspiring. Not one. In fact, I'd add two more. A bunker. How about a tombstone? Now, most presidents build monuments. This one built ruins. Brand new ruins. Now, that takes talent. How do you build something brand new to make it look ancient. $850 million and the nicest thing that anybody could say was a mountain? So now it's your turn, guys. Drop it in the comments down below. What does it look like to you? Keep it clean, mostly. So a building this beautiful must have been built perfectly, right? Well, the black-owned engineering firm that was hired to help design the Obama Center got hit with a $40 million lawsuit. The charge? Racial discrimination at the Obama Center. So if a TV writer pitched that, they would get fired for being lazy. Reports say that there were structural problems, fixes made quietly behind the scenes. Nobody says built to last quite like patching it before the paint dries. Over budget, behind schedule, buried in lawsuits, and guess who helped pay for it? You did. The state of Illinois covered road work around the site. The city of Chicago handed over public parkland in Jackson Park. Trees came down, park groups sued. So here's a question nobody on TV wants to ask. Where did all the extra money go? Now, some people are asking whether foundation money went to political groups. Nobody's proven it, but it's fair to ask. Because when a bill keeps growing, somebody's wallet usually is too. So let's zoom all the way out. Big promises, giant price tag, cost overruns, lawsuits, small businesses getting stiffed, workers ignored, excuses on repeat, plumbers not getting paid. is that a library or is this eight years? Same pattern, big stage. Chicago's South Side was promised a comeback. Jobs, energy, life. What did he get? A gray tower, an ID check, and a plumber with no paycheck. And remember, this man got a Nobel Peace Prize after barely unpacking. He was nominated just days into his first term. Talk about getting paid in advance. The plumbers should be so lucky. So if Obama hits the campaign trail this fall, here's a simple request. Somebody, anybody, ask him about the school. Ask him about the plumber. Ask him about the rats. Because this is what their management looks like. Remember that in November, folks, he once told America, you didn't build that. Turns out, he really didn't. Now, folks, the receipts are in. Do you know somebody who still believes the hype? Go ahead and send them this. And if you enjoyed the show, hit the like button on the way out. It's totally free, unlike that building. Today, a plumber built a monument and got stiffed. Workers were promised cheap health care and they got a bill. Taxpayers handed over a park and they got a gray box. Moral of the story, if you don't watch your own wallet, somebody else will, usually with a ribbon cutting.
