00:00:00.000 I'm Lou Dobbs with The Great America Show midday update for Sunday, May 5th.
00:00:05.140 Chicago is a prime example of what the Biden regime and the Marxist stems are doing to America.
00:00:12.140 So let's take a look and let's start with, well, mental deficiency.
00:00:17.960 Chicago is leading the nation in mental deficiency,
00:00:21.720 although it's a close race with dozens of others Marxist stem run cities.
00:00:26.280 The Chicago Teachers Union has some modest demands in their negotiations with the public school system now.
00:00:34.280 Those very bright teachers want an extra $50 billion.
00:00:39.240 $50 billion for public schools whose students overwhelmingly can't read or do math at proficiency levels.
00:00:47.540 86% of those students are in big trouble.
00:00:51.340 Those high-achieving teachers will use that $50 billion for pay hikes,
00:00:57.420 for free, fully paid-for abortions for teachers,
00:01:00.900 and more services, of course, for illegal aliens and lots of LGBTQ regulations and training.
00:01:09.220 As Fox News reported, that would amount to the entire tax revenue for the state of Illinois.
00:01:15.780 It's just over $50 billion.
00:01:17.660 It's clear that part of Chicago's problem is that the teachers' unions can't do math either.
00:01:25.080 Right now, the average pay for a Chicago teacher is $93,000 a year.
00:01:30.960 $93,000.
00:01:32.860 And the union wants to raise that average pay to $145,000 a year over the next three years.
00:01:41.580 That would be double the median household income for people living in Chicago.
00:01:47.920 The teachers may be Marxists, but they sure are elitists.
00:01:52.680 And what about higher education in Chicago?
00:01:55.760 And those pro-Hamas protesters and agitators at the University of Chicago?
00:02:00.960 Well, they have, of course, demands too.
00:02:03.560 The encampment of anti-Semitic, anti-Israeli, anti-American, pro-Hamas mobs
00:02:11.200 have a list of demands, and lots of them.
00:02:14.280 They're demanding the university not invest in the U.S. defense industry or fossil fuel production.
00:02:20.820 And, of course, they want, well, they have to have those reparations that they've heard so much about.
00:02:28.160 Reparations for all.
00:02:29.760 I mean, you can't make these people up.
00:02:32.420 And if you could, you wouldn't.
00:02:35.120 Our guest today on the podcast is House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer
00:02:40.220 on the imminent report on Biden corruption.
00:02:43.780 Please join us.
00:02:45.020 Thanks and have a great day.
00:02:46.860 This is Lou Dobbs with a Great America Update.
