00:00:27.300 Call 1-866-531-2600 or visit connexontario.ca.

00:00:30.000 They choose to do Juneteenth probably at the worst time ever.

00:00:33.200 And, again, who would come up with this idea of Juneteenth and approve it?

00:00:35.900 Guy named President Biden.

00:00:36.780 Now watch this.

00:00:38.220 Watch this.

00:00:39.740 Juneteenth is the 19th.

00:00:42.340 On the weekend of Juneteenth, which is celebrating what?

00:00:48.220 It's celebrated annually on the 19th to commemorate the end of slavery in the United States.

00:00:54.700 By the way, can you go type in when is Father's Day?

00:00:57.560 Okay, when is Father's Day?

00:00:58.760 Just type in Father's Day.

00:01:00.000 Let's type in Father's Day.

00:01:01.980 What day does Father's Day fall on?

00:01:03.840 Yeah, Father's Day.

00:01:04.380 Now watch this.

00:01:06.140 June 21st.

00:01:07.480 Okay.

00:01:08.180 So imagine how, you know, they say racism.

00:01:12.140 I mean, some could really speculate that Biden was indirectly being racist

00:01:16.040 towards blacks, which I don't appreciate.

00:01:18.740 Because you do Juneteenth with Father's Day, 1.00

00:01:23.660 and what is the highest fatherless community in America?

00:01:27.460 Which community do we have?

00:01:29.240 What is the fatherless percentage that we see in the black community? 1.00

00:01:32.800 Unfortunately, it's the black community.

00:01:34.500 So why would you do such a racist thing?

00:01:36.940 I don't use the word racist quite often, but in a context like this,

00:01:41.080 you could have done it in July.

00:01:43.020 You could have done it in Christmas.

00:01:45.120 You could have done it in January or maybe November, save.

00:01:47.780 You can do some stuff in the first week of November.

00:01:49.720 I kind of mess around there.

00:01:50.940 But you decide to do it on Father's Day?

00:01:52.960 What an insult, right?

00:01:54.580 And look at this.

00:01:55.180 In the United States, the African-American children have the highest rates of single—

00:01:59.360 Can you zoom in a little bit?

00:02:00.260 My eyes are all jacked up.

00:02:01.400 Yeah, there you go.

00:02:02.520 Highest rates of living in single-parent or father-absent households, according to the U.S. Census Bureau,

00:02:08.020 they count approximately 50% to 60% of black children live in single-parent families

00:02:12.300 compared to 30% Hispanic and 20% white.

00:02:15.160 Why would you put Juneteenth on the same weekend as Father's Day?

00:02:18.420 Then, to make matters even worse, the President Barack Obama,

00:02:23.280 first African-American president, some say it was Clinton,

00:02:25.760 but they say a lot of people say it was Obama.

00:02:27.980 He's out there, and while they're celebrating his museum,

00:02:33.440 do you know what article comes out?

00:02:35.540 This is what the article comes out from Postmillennial,

00:02:39.660 saying, hey, you spent $850 million on this property that you built,

00:02:44.940 and you know, sometimes there's a reputation on not paying bills

00:02:47.640 or not paying credit cards, and this guy says, 0.91

00:02:50.340 unpaid black contractors 0.68

00:02:52.520 rage against Barack Obama's 0.88

00:02:54.620 presidential center. What sense

00:02:56.800 is it celebrating Juneteenth 1.00

00:02:58.440 if our black contractors 0.96

00:03:00.600 are not getting their money? 0.96

00:03:02.860 Go ahead, play this clip.

00:03:04.700 I'm Archie Reef, president of the African American

00:03:06.600 Contract Association. I've been

00:03:08.820 in business since 1989.

00:03:11.180 I've never seen this happen

00:03:12.480 since I've been in business.

00:03:14.540 Even when I worked with Chicago Urban League, 1.00

00:03:16.740 so many of our black contractors are

00:03:18.440 complained about they have not got their money. 0.89

00:03:20.880 But the other side of it, a lot of the black community

00:03:24.500 and the newspapers do not know

00:03:26.420 that these people have not been paid.

00:03:28.080 Some of the people have put their mortgages up.

00:03:30.540 They're gonna lose their bonding,

00:03:32.580 their rate in their bonding company.

00:03:35.300 They're gonna lose their relationship with their supplier

00:03:38.640 as well as their banker may wanna bring in their note.

00:03:42.380 So they're afraid to talk about these things,

00:03:45.200 but they tell me in privacy

00:03:47.820 that these things are taking place with them.

00:03:50.260 And they're scared to death about talking about it.

00:03:53.000 Someone will hang up the phone on you and just say,

00:03:55.480 I don't want to talk about that.

00:03:56.320 What a terrible timing, Vinny.

00:03:58.440 You put Juneteenth on Father's Day, 1.00

00:04:01.840 and you're not paying the bills of black contractors 0.96

00:04:04.740 after the first black president's museum is officially built, 0.60

00:04:08.860 and they're like, pay up. 0.95

00:04:10.480 There's no money.

00:04:11.020 And then on top of that,

00:04:13.220 can you tell everybody what happened on Juneteenth weekend in Chicago?

00:04:16.040 So it started off with a bang, no pun intended.

00:04:20.100 Seven people are dead in Chicago.

00:04:22.140 38 more were shot.

00:04:23.860 Listen to this number.

00:04:25.360 24 separate shooting incidents in one weekend, okay?

00:04:30.180 By the way, how is that not, besides his library, the biggest story in America?

00:04:34.600 I'm not talking about a war zone, guys.

00:04:35.980 I'm not talking about Ukraine and Russia.

00:04:38.220 This isn't Fallujah.

00:04:39.520 We didn't take over Khairag Island.

00:04:41.420 This is Chicago, okay?

00:04:42.940 It started on Friday, on Juneteenth.

00:04:44.800 SUV pulled up, two shooters

00:04:47.160 opened fire, 12 people were shot

00:04:48.660 8 men, 4 women, the victims ranged

00:04:51.000 from ages 17 to 47

00:04:53.320 another guy was shot in his chest

00:04:54.980 but he refused medical treatment

00:04:56.440 the rest of the weekend wasn't better

00:04:58.100 a 50 year old man was shot in the chest on Friday

00:05:00.280 an 18 year old was shot and killed Saturday evening

00:05:02.880 a 20 year old man was shot

00:05:04.860 in the chest on Sunday, the other victims ranged

00:05:07.120 up to 50 as shootings broke out

00:05:09.280 across multiple neighborhoods

00:05:10.320 President Trump responded by saying

00:05:13.040 he could make chicago one of the safest cities in america if governor jb pritzker who's been

00:05:18.700 dead silent obviously would work with him meanwhile the conversation immediately turned

00:05:23.640 into politics instead of asking why this keeps happening and then people sit there johnson the

00:05:29.080 mayor and him oh it's because of racism and this the chicago bears packed up their stuff and they're

00:05:35.100 like yo we're out we are out so it's just chicago every weekend pat chicago has this happening every

00:05:41.040 single weekend and nobody talks about it but trump is offering help they don't want it because

00:05:45.740 they love they love the title of shy rack they're proud that people are getting freaking murdered in

00:05:51.140 the streets every single week name another place by the way this war that we're in seven people

00:05:56.120 didn't die this weekend in any other conflict that we're that we're dealing with or we're seeing

00:06:00.400 it's happening in chicago and nobody's talking about adam so uh i mean this is a failure of

00:06:06.940 leadership of what's going on in chicago specifically you know i ran some numbers uh of

00:06:11.980 basically which state is performing the worst economically based on gdp gdp per capita taxes

00:06:18.260 you know basically what was the bottom line and here's what i uncovered new york and california

00:06:23.120 get all the headlines you know chicago is called second city for a reason because it was basically

00:06:28.600 the second best city compared to new york do you know where chicago or illinois falls on the list

00:06:34.640 dead last of economic viability so regarding obama i actually think obama is a good guy i think he's

00:06:41.260 a good dad uh on paper but at the end of the day i think his ideology is very marxist in nature

00:06:48.700 uh you know they not to get all biblical but you say you will know them by their fruits

00:06:53.200 where's that from you will know them by their fruits what the it's in the bible it's in the

00:06:58.260 bible uh i don't know blm uh they they're they were encouraged what was the the foundation

00:07:05.120 basically uh trying to dissolve the nuclear family you know one third of americans children

00:07:11.480 are born to single mothers two-thirds in the african-american community that's the lowest

00:07:17.040 of the low i wish obama would focus on actually improving black people's lives starting in 0.97

00:07:23.260 Chicago, starting in Illinois, and basically do what you've done to this country, but in the 0.78

00:07:29.600 opposite order, and improve the city where you're from. This whole story basically started that he

00:07:33.740 was basically opening his library in Chicago. That was a whole situation. But you're going to

00:07:39.020 basically stick black workers with the bill while you're out there sort of masquerading as a real 0.97

00:07:47.480 man and as a real leader. And then the coup de grace is when Michelle Obama was asked, what do 0.95

00:07:51.920 want to focus on moving forward she goes me yeah tom what kind of man stands for that look at this

00:07:56.560 i mean this is where the governor could take some leadership so let's talk about jb let's talk about

00:08:03.480 lincoln college that's been closed for four years and in his recent budget ready for this pat he's

00:08:10.800 got half a million dollars in grant going to lincoln college it's been closed for four years

00:08:17.500 Who is receiving that money? How about turn it into a grant to the Obama library that does exist and help get some of these guys paid?

00:08:27.400 How about J.B. Pritzker take a leadership role in the community and push and say, wait a minute, you are a building.

00:08:35.520 Forget that it's Obama. This building was built on some land and received significant benefits from the city and the taxpayers of the city.

00:08:44.180 Now you're telling me you're finished after you receive benefit that some of those taxpayers, black people operating businesses, aren't paid? 0.91

00:08:52.000 Time out. 0.97

00:08:52.980 You need to get these people paid, and you need to get it paid now, and then the state could intervene and help some of them to get paid.

00:09:00.400 Let me tell you something about business.

00:09:02.100 With this gentleman, it was very articulate what this gentleman said.

00:09:06.380 He said he was the president of the African American Contractors Association.

00:09:09.640 When he said bonds, you know what a bond is?

00:09:12.140 A bond is like a credit line.

00:09:14.540 Hey, I need to get about 36 tons of concrete from Vinny.

00:09:19.100 Vinny says, well, can you pay for it?

00:09:20.720 I can have a little bit up front, but I have a bond because Patrick gave me the contract from Chicago, and he's going to pay me.

00:09:27.420 Oh, okay, great, but I've got a license.

00:09:30.380 I'm a great contract guy.

00:09:31.480 I do giant buildings.

00:09:32.280 I do this all day long.

00:09:33.500 Fantastic.

00:09:34.220 All of that helps him.

00:09:35.460 He even said some of these guys were at risk of losing their bond.

00:09:39.640 Put in their house.

00:09:40.980 If they lose their bond, they can't do business with other projects they may be working on

00:09:46.480 because they took the opportunity on the Obama Library.

00:09:49.180 These are black workers in Chicago.

00:09:53.700 I'm not being shrill here. 1.00

00:09:55.140 This is a travesty. 0.99

00:09:56.720 Imagine if you're a black general contractor that you can't even rely on the former first black president to pay his bills. 0.98

00:10:02.680 Who the hell is going to pay the bill? 0.97

00:10:04.500 $850 million.

00:10:06.200 You know what they may do?

00:10:07.480 Pritzker gives money to a non-existent college that's been closed for four years. 1.00

00:10:10.480 By the way, this is such a travesty that they may move forward only to do business with Jews because they're like, 1.00

00:10:14.840 Listen, guys, we're open for business. 0.99

00:10:17.120 But do you know how many black people in Chicago, we've seen all these videos, are so disgusted and upset of them prioritizing the illegal immigrant community that has come to Chicago and has taken basically all the money? 0.96

00:10:29.300 It's like, hold on. 0.99

00:10:30.380 So you're going to basically let people in this country that have just got here, newcomers, they're going to get the benefits that we want? 1.00

00:10:37.440 Have you seen this? 1.00

00:10:38.020 And then it was like so like poignantly exposed at the opening of the library.

00:10:43.360 Did you see what Valerie Jarrett said about the land that we are on?

00:10:49.040 Yes.

00:10:50.100 Borrowed land.

00:10:51.340 Borrowed land. 0.99

00:10:52.120 If you're a black person in Chicago, tell me how you react to something like this. 0.95

00:10:57.700 We have that audio.

00:10:59.100 To recognize the original inhabitants of the land upon which we are gathered today,

00:11:04.600 We honor the Anishinaabe, the Council of Three Fires,

00:11:08.500 the Ojibwe, the Odawa, and the Pottawanabe nations.

00:11:12.920 So you can't give it back?

00:11:14.560 You built on it.

00:11:15.860 Give it back.

00:11:16.400 Quiet.

00:11:16.960 Get off the stage.

00:11:18.140 This is what's going on here.

00:11:18.920 I don't even want to give it more time.

00:11:20.100 I'm moving on.

00:11:20.740 Go pay your bills, guys.

00:11:22.540 Seriously.

00:11:23.460 This is why they're broke.

00:11:24.480 You know what's around the corner?

00:11:26.160 What is around the corner?

00:11:27.560 What are we today?

00:11:28.340 Today's the 22nd.

00:11:30.380 Fourth of July is how many days away?

00:11:33.460 Roughly 15, 16 days away from 4th of July.

00:11:36.480 Okay?

00:11:37.300 So here's what we did.

00:11:38.520 The guys put a video together.

00:11:40.040 I hope the guys are back already.

00:11:42.980 We have flirted with this video and shown it to you for six months.

00:11:46.880 But we've never released it.

00:11:48.280 We kept the best one for last.

00:11:50.740 And I'm going to tell you why this will go and be on eBay in no time.

00:11:54.640 Because we have a 250-year anniversary box that's here with some special items in it.

00:12:01.520 And specifically the hat, it's the hat that employees came to us and said, please don't sell it all.

00:12:08.040 Let us have some of it.

00:12:09.040 But I first want you to watch this video, especially the people that love America.

00:12:13.140 Go ahead, guys.

00:12:13.660 Before there was a nation, God bless America.

00:12:17.280 There was an idea, an idea powerful enough to ignite a revolution.

00:12:23.420 America has marched through history with courage in its heart and freedom as its cause.

00:12:29.880 we crossed frontiers we built railroads that united a continent we rose from the ashes of

00:12:37.960 conflict we defended liberty across oceans and we reached beyond earth itself planting our flag

00:12:47.300 among the stars through every trial you've got mail one spirit endured a spirit to dream bigger

00:12:55.940 to stand stronger, to keep moving forward.

00:13:02.020 For 250 years, generations of Americans have written a story of sacrifice,

00:13:08.360 innovation, resilience, and hope.

00:13:12.020 And now, the next chapter begins.

00:13:16.200 This is America.

00:13:18.880 250 years of freedom.

00:13:22.600 250 years of courage.

00:13:25.940 250 years of a nation still rising.

00:13:31.540 I'll join the military right now.

00:13:32.820 It ain't great.

00:13:33.520 Don't you just.

00:13:34.500 Aren't you proud you served the military?

00:13:36.480 One of the best decisions I made.

00:13:38.440 Absolutely.

00:13:39.100 So go to VT merch.com only limited 250 boxes.

00:13:44.680 When you go there, it comes with a shirt that says the greatest country in the world on the box.

00:13:50.400 It says 250 years of freedom.

00:13:52.580 Future looks bright. 0.61

00:13:53.660 When you open it up, you get a Future Looks Bride mug.

00:13:56.660 You get these hats that there's only a limited supply of them.

00:14:00.660 And then you get this water mug.

00:14:02.680 What do you call these things?

00:14:04.740 What's it called?

00:14:06.460 250-year anniversary on it as well.

00:14:08.420 It says, and God we trust.

00:14:09.620 And on the back it says, the greatest country in the world.

00:14:12.260 But it's only for 250 of them.

00:14:13.820 So if you want to buy the hat by itself, you have the option to do that.

00:14:18.860 But it's limited supply.

00:14:20.040 These will go in no time.

00:14:21.180 and the only place you'll be able to find them is on ebay so if you see this video afterwards and
