My name is Christopher Leon Johnson, and I wanna make this clear about this committee hearing this committee hearing is nothing but smokescreen to what's really what's the what's really happening here.
2:33:47
And I'm gonna say this right now, brother.
2:33:50
You got voted in.
2:33:52
You got elected to labor strong 2023, and the biggest union part of that is the carpenters.
2:33:57
Now the carpenters, they're behind the Rad Pack situation because if you knock the buildings down, they're able to build it back up.
2:34:05
The corporators got you elected over Charles Barron and Jamilla Rose.
2:34:08
Now the question people need to start asking you as a chair, can you be trusted in helping the people here save their apartments at Chelts Unfulton Chelsea because it's hard to trust you as the chair of this committee And as a council member, when you are down with the carpenters who are one of the biggest unions that are pushing for Radepact.
2:34:33
Now, it recently happened with that chair, with that hearing, or with those heavy arrests, that was nothing but a publicity stunt.
2:34:41
That was not the those are low level employees of the Natura Rad Natura who got arrested.
2:34:47
What they need to start doing is arresting the big people on top.
2:34:51
Starting back with this lady right behind me that hit the CEO of Nacho, who need me arrested with them.
2:34:59
Because she's part of the problem.
2:35:00
She's a big part of the problem.
2:35:02
Nature, they want Nature to be eradicated because it's it's a anchor to the is it anchored to the city a yes?
2:35:11
All this is about is the city a yes.
2:35:13
All you council members are down with Rad Impact.
2:35:18
All you guys are down with the blueprint.
2:35:20
All you guys are down with the displacement of the people of nature.
2:35:23
So you can for appease these, yimbies, and open your fall, and treme taste all turtles, and open plans, and Dan Grodonic, and the mayor Eric Adam.
