I tried to make it work, but in truth, all I really wanted is there not to be any public money spent on private enterprise.

I'm probably leaning more towards it.

But yeah, there's all of this stuff is what irks me.

And we'll talk about it in great detail as a couple of things.

I hate that the people who have checked out of the political process and most of them, I think, have done it for good reasons.

Some of them for not so good reasons have been proven right.

And then I'm stuck with the idea of, well, if you are actually... If you're actually using your constituents and hearing what they say and then doing what the constituents want, is that being obstructionist?

I'm really stuck between what's good politics in this and what's not.

But to your point, Grotz, where...

And this has been some of my own reporting that I've done on this, and I was really happy to see that Paris has heard a lot of the same stuff that I have.

The Bears have had multiple people that have been asked to help walk them through this process and how it can work.

And when offered things that they didn't necessarily like, I'm told that those people were ignored or replaced with other people until they got to the point of, yeah, remember that thing that that other person said?

I'm also saying this.

And look, and here's some of it that – and I'm speculating.

This is not anything that anyone told me, okay?

But let's look at the dalliance with Chicago for a second.

Now, if you're Brandon Johnson and this has gone on and you feel burned by Kevin Warren and by the Bears because they had offered you an opportunity to maybe go, all right, here's something that I can do for the city –

It might be your play to be like, oh, yeah, I can't get the Bears here, but you know what I can do?

I can make sure that you're going to have a hard time with all of this stuff.

Meanwhile, we're still partners.
