Pastor Corey Brooks accepted the invitation to give one of the benedictions at the Republican National Convention this month and that, he says, resulted in some basklash. In this discussion, Rev Brooks discusses why some activists in deep-blue Chicago objected to his participating in a GOP event and to his speaking out in favor of conservative solutions to the problems facing cities like his.

* This version of the discussion aired on NewsTalk STL in order to include part of Rev Brooks' prayer in the segment.
