Why did you and your husband participate in a large Visa IPO in March 2008, especially with legislation affecting credit card companies at that time? Did you consider it a conflict of interest? I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make with your question. Are you suggesting it's acceptable for a speaker to accept a favorable stock deal? You participated in the IPO while being Speaker of the House. Do you believe that wasn’t a conflict of interest or at least appeared to be one? It only appears that way if you base it on a false premise, which isn’t true. I’m unclear on which part you find untrue. Can you clarify? Yes, I can act upon an investment.

Good afternoon. Since 2022, Chicago has spent over $574 million on illegal immigrants, which is concerning. Brandon Johnson's handling of the budget raises questions, especially regarding the $40 million credit line—how much will actually be used and repaid? We need Tom Homan and Donald Trump to help improve our city. Chicago is $1 billion in debt, and Democrats seem to struggle with finances, as seen with Kamala Harris's campaign spending. It's important to remember that Johnson spent $32,000 on haircuts and makeup from campaign funds. We need to change our voting habits in cities like Chicago and New York. It's not about Republicans versus Democrats anymore; it's about populism versus establishment. Don't let them distract us with race baiting when it comes to jobs. We need to focus on legal citizens and their needs.

Why did you send me over there? I need someone to find her. You’re rushing me out to get her back in. It feels like there’s a hidden agenda here. You’re always yelling at the black employees. This is a real company with real complaints. She prevents students from graduating if they speak up, taking advantage of those who pay tuition upfront. Nobody likes her attitude. She acts entitled, just like her mother. This isn’t accurate. We’re just trying to treat people with respect. We’ve been good about this. Have a nice day, ladies, and be blessed.

I was surprised by the backlash she received, particularly from some black elected male officials who expressed reluctance to support a woman. There are discussions about black men distancing themselves from her campaign, but I haven't seen any substantial evidence to support that claim.

What must I do in this council to earn respect as a Black woman? I’m not afraid of anyone here. I don’t harbor hate; I’m frustrated by the racial divisions and fear that paralyze us. We need to unite to protect our communities and ensure justice for all, rather than crucifying individuals based on allegations. This isn’t a court; everyone is innocent until proven guilty. I’m here to represent my community and advocate for racial equity, which often feels insincere. I stand firm in my purpose to serve and uplift others, regardless of political affiliations. If the voters choose not to re-elect me, that’s okay. I’m here to make a difference.

It's saddening if young women feel judged or uncomfortable at work. I won't tolerate supervisors who don't support and uplift my staff. I won't date anyone who works under me. Society understands that relationships can happen, but citizens are concerned about inappropriate contact with employees. It's distracting and inappropriate for the top law enforcement officer. It saddens me, and it would be unfortunate if taxpayers had to pay for lawsuits. That's how I feel too.

Speaker 0 criticizes others for attacking a black woman in power. They express disappointment in smear campaigns and emphasize the need to live harmoniously in the community. Speaker 1 denies using a credit card for personal expenses in Las Vegas. Speaker 2 mentions taxpayer money spent at restaurants. Speaker 1 defends their actions, stating they answered questions about spending.

Speaker 0: What the do I have to do in this council in order to get respect as a black woman? I'm not afraid of anybody here. When I make a mistake, I will be clear. I don't hate you as a white woman. I don't hate you as a white man. I am sick and tired of this body so stupidly racially divided, so afraid, so depraved. People with no faith because they are afraid of their losing their advancement. They're afraid of bargaining. They're afraid of leveraging. These people have, oh my god. I can't even call you cowards because desperation deserves mercy. Cancer to redistricting. Fine. We give it to a white woman. Can we all get along? Can we get together? Can we love each other now? Can we make sure that black and brown babies don't die? Can we make sure that cops don't kill before people are proven innocent? Can we do that? No. No. No. No. Because this body crucifies you first because of allegations. This is not a court. You don't get to crucify people before they're proven guilty. They're innocent until proven guilty. Amen. Now after this, I will look forward to working with you because I have stamina. I believe, as Baldwin said, what you do not what you say. Your votes here sometimes are racist. You move sometimes in a way that hurts my people. Speaker 1: Yes. Say that. Speaker 0: And then when I get up to stand up and talk, oh, all she talks about is black stuff. Speaker 1: Yes. You should. Good. Speaker 0: I am here to represent every single black woman and man that suffers in the community. God has my back. Speaker 1: You got your Speaker 0: am not afraid to not have political asylum or any type of affiliations or connections. I came here, I fear none, no man, but my Lord. Amen. I came here to serve people. I came here to love. I came here to grow. But people talk about this racial equity thing. It's all fake. Speaker 1: Thank you. And Speaker 0: you do politics and you hurt each other. And yet, here I am, five foot tall African woman from the projects. And I am here to tell you, if the voters don't vote me back Speaker 1: We are get votes back.

How many relatives, including in-laws, do you have on your payroll? We hire based on qualifications only. Assuming they are all qualified, how many are related to you, and what are their roles? Everyone on my staff is uniquely qualified. What are their relationships and salaries? There’s a transport portal for transparency. So, the portal reveals family connections? I stand by my team; they are the best. Did you hire a brother-in-law for over $100,000? I appreciate the question. You did, didn’t you? We have the best staff in our office. I've never seen such refusal to disclose information while asking for budget increases. I will vote against your budget due to your lack of transparency regarding contracts and relatives. Thank you for your time.

Speaker 0: You can't stop me from talking. No. Speaker 1: I'm talking about something. His behavior is a liability. Speaker 2: You can't tell me that. Speaker 1: You're creating a huge issue for yourself. Arrest me. Speaker 0: Please come forward. You have 4 minutes. Speaker 1: I'm here to comment on the council receiving money. It should have been publicized earlier. Mayor Rep sits on the council board, which is inappropriate. City manager Freed fled his house out of fear. He was involved romantically with the victim. His behavior is a liability to the city. Speaker 0: You can't stop me from talking. Speaker 1: I get my 4 minutes. Speaker 0: How does this relate to James Freed's behavior? Speaker 1: His name was in the police report. His behavior is a liability. Speaker 2: You can't arrest me. Speaker 0: They can't actually leave. Speaker 1: I am a resident. They cannot stop me. Speaker 0: Why this?

She's resilient and has faced challenges as a Black woman in America. People are frustrated and tired, not just for her but because of the situation in the city she loves. Many don’t understand the scale of the issues, as they’re not directly affected. Instead of blaming her for a natural disaster, it's crucial to support her efforts and provide resources. This isn’t about race; it’s about her performance as a mayor. Criticism stems from her perceived incompetence in managing the city’s resources and emergency response. Holding her accountable for her job is not racist; it’s about ensuring the city is adequately supported during crises.

I believe the middle class deserves a tax cut to improve the country, rather than continuing ineffective tax policies. You are wealthy, worth $20-30 million. How can you relate to the struggles of regular people? Do you shop at Walmart? I speak with those who are suffering. You pretended to be a renter in Nashua but returned to your affluent lifestyle. You claim to understand the concerns of everyday people, yet you don’t grasp their struggles. People are in distress, and it’s important to acknowledge their pain rather than dismiss it.

It's concerning if young women feel judged or uncomfortable at work. I won't tolerate that as a leader. Supervisors who don't support and uplift their staff won't last in my administration. I won't date anyone who works under me either. Society has relationships, but the community is more concerned about inappropriate contact with employees. It's distracting and inappropriate for the top law enforcement officer in the state. It saddens me, and it would be unfortunate if taxpayers had to pay for lawsuits. That's how I feel about it too.

Last year, reports surfaced about lavish spending from campaign funds on luxury items by Harris. Former aides claimed she used the funds like a personal checking account. When asked about public concerns regarding her spending habits, Harris acknowledged early campaign issues were addressed through restructuring. She believes the problems have been solved.

It's tough always having to prove yourself multiple times. Despite being told not to talk about race, I will. Being black comes with challenges, but I see greatness in this city with many African American leaders. I appreciate the sacrifices made to be in these positions. Chief Meadows, thank you for your leadership and for recognizing the extra hurdles you've faced to serve.

The mayor of Dalton, Illinois is facing backlash for misusing public funds and manipulating residents. Calls for her resignation have been made due to unpaid bills, withheld business permits, and extravagant spending on trips and personal security. Residents and trustees are demanding transparency and accountability. The mayor vetoed an FBI investigation into her spending and the board plans to hire former Chicago mayor Lori Lightfoot to investigate. Community members were locked out of city hall, leading to accusations of being treated like prisoners. The mayor denies any wrongdoing and dismisses the criticism as political theater. The board is set to vote on hiring Lightfoot for an investigation.

The corrupt mayor, Tiffany Hennyard, has fled the country after stealing millions of taxpayer money. Investigator Lori Lightfoot found a $3.65 million deficit in Dalton's finances and $40,000 spent on unexplained Amazon purchases. Hennyard's disappearance sparked online controversy, with some blaming her actions on her skin color and entitlement. Share your thoughts on the situation below.

I was called out for using EBT while driving a 2025 Benz. It's nobody's business what I drive or how I get my benefits. Yes, I receive $271 in food stamps and I’m living my life. I appreciate the support from taxpayers. I embrace my lifestyle, relying on various forms of assistance like food stamps and child support. Everyone has their own way of making a living, and this is mine.

This situation with the DOJ is unprecedented. My husband was a federal prosecutor for 30 years, and this level of interference is not how our justice system is supposed to work. The allegations are serious, but I can't have a knee-jerk, politically motivated reaction. I need to do what's smart and right. I'm consulting with other leaders in government to determine my responsibility. When the allegations came out in September, I interceded to help stabilize the city. I don't want this situation to derail our progress. As governor, I represent the city and must protect my constituents. I need time to process this and figure out the right approach. Of course I am consulting with advisors on this matter.

Speaker 0 states they want Black businesses to survive and thrive and claims to do a ton for them. They cite their work with the Department of Transportation under Pete Buttigieg, saying they tried to insulate Black businesses from a "crazy regime" to ensure they could still get contracts for infrastructure projects. Speaker 0 also claims to have a great relationship with Black businesses in their community and works with the Black chamber of business. They invite Speaker 1's organization to join, but say they have to go and suggest calling their office. Speaker 1 accuses Speaker 0 of not having time for Black people and running away. Speaker 0 responds that they always have time, but the conversation is becoming too hostile, and they don't want to "pop off."

It was a mistake for me to be out of the city during the Palisades fire. The White House asked me to represent the President on a short trip to Ghana, and I accepted. The fire chief didn't warn me in advance or make normal preparations for the wind event; otherwise, I wouldn't have left. I wasn't aware of the severity of the weather warnings. There are now two investigations underway to examine everything that happened. I regret my awkward reaction to a reporter's ambush upon my return. The fire department's actions, including potential pre-deployment of additional engines, need examination by experts. It's premature to fire anyone, but we must assess everything, including the fire chief's performance and why things were handled differently. Recovery centers are open to assist those impacted by the fires, offering various resources. Rebuilding the Palisades could take three to five years. I'm committed to reelection in 2026 and proving to my critics that I can lead the city.

"You've been intrusive into people's personal lives." "You're confused. You think I'm on trial." "These people are on trial for trying to steal an election in 2020." "I'm not on trial." "Here's the next one that shows you can see republican is written there." "Republicans written there." "This is, ballot 61." "This is ballot number two." "The batch number was it 5162? Scanner 5162." "Duplicate ballots. The entire batch is scanned several times." "We are at a time in history, people." "We are at a time in history when you can no longer sit back and just let other folks do." "You cannot expect black women to be perfect and save the world." "The Lord is completing us." "We need your prayers. We need to be allowed to stumble. We need grace." "Please find a way to do your extraordinary God given assignment." "Yes. And make this community and the world a better place for all of his people."

I'm sick and tired of this racially divided body, full of people afraid of losing their advancement. Desperation deserves mercy. Can we get along and ensure black and brown babies don't die, and cops don't kill before people are proven innocent? This body crucifies people first because of allegations, but people are innocent until proven guilty. Your votes here sometimes are racist and hurt my people. I am here to represent every single black woman and man in the community. I am not afraid to not have political affiliations. I fear no man but my Lord. I came here to serve, love, and grow. The racial equity thing is fake, and you hurt each other with politics. I'm a five-foot-tall African woman from the projects, and if the voters don't vote me back, so be it.

We're talking about $2.3 billion saved, but where's the proof? You won't be satisfied until you see the 10,000 pages of evidence. Specifics are needed. If we have to go to Congress, we will show where the money is going. Some details have emerged, like the $59 million spent on luxury hotels, but that was FEMA money abused for migrants. I'm not saying it's okay, don't put words in my mouth. The portrayal isn't factually accurate. I saw what FEMA does, I believe it. These are congressionally appropriate funds.

Thank you for coming on short notice. I want to acknowledge that everything you've heard is true, and I am deeply sorry for my actions that have hurt Alex Turck and his loved ones. I regret letting down the people of San Francisco, who expect more from their mayor. Despite my personal lapse in judgment, I am committed to restoring their trust and confidence. In the coming months, I will work hard to ensure the city is run appropriately. I also want to apologize personally to my administration, staff, friends, and family. I am truly sorry.
