Summary
Hour 1 - Nick Reed & Sarah Myers are live at Scrambler's Diner: The history of Juneteenth. The Obama Presidential Center opening ceremony took place on Thursday, as the Obamas, the Clintons, and former Vice President Kamala Harris attended what ultimately became a left-wing groveling contest. Biden got lost at one point, Hillary was wearing a trench coat in the hot June weather, and celebrities fawned over the Obamas. The Obama Presidential Center was billed as a lasting legacy to former President Barack Obama, and its construction was touted as an ambitious model built with aggressive goals for minority-owned and local businesses. But now, some of the very subcontractors who helped build the 19.3-acre campus on Chicago’s South Side say they are facing financial ruin as they race to recover millions of dollars they claim remain unpaid ahead of the center's grand opening Friday.
