That's actually a really good joke.

Hey, real quick, I just want to make the point and forget politics of the whole thing.

But if you're going to put up money, help build a stadium, the state of Illinois is

The county of Cook and the city of Chicago are beyond in past debt, past their eyeballs.

Just the unfunded pensions in the state of Illinois would melt most people's minds.

Not that in the state of Indiana we're floating in, you know.

getting carried around in gold uh golden uh whatever you want to call it let's go nuggets we do not have the problems i mean when i hear about the the legislature in the state of illinois maybe putting the brakes on this a little bit and looking out for the taxpayers they can't they are so far in debt guys i mean i know this is not a political show but i mean you just hit the google machine and the state of illinois the city of chicago and the county of cook

don't have two nickels to rub together anymore.

Well, that's what would make me, if I'm the owner of the Bears, and I'm thinking to myself, yeah, you're making me this deal today.

But I know that in 10 years, this place is going to be a ghost town because you can, I shouldn't say that.

I shouldn't say it like that.

But you are going to have, you are going to have even deeper financial obligations.

You are not digging out of the hole.

You are digging the deep, the hole deeper.

Who are they going to go to when they need the money when their back is literally against the wall?

Can you trust the state of Illinois, the city of Chicago, the county of Cook to honor anything?

How are they going to come up with the money when they can't even come up?

You tell the firefighters and the police department in the city of Chicago, their pension is less than 40% funded.

You're going to come up with a billion dollars to put in for infrastructure?

I don't see that.
