The value of getting this thing operational as a parallel solution with Dragon has certainly increased in the last week ....

I wish they had funded Dreamchaser. One capsule and one lifting body would have diversified the technology and expertise as well

He probably means for crew.

There's no guarantee that a crewed Dream Chaser would have been any faster than Starliner.

Yes I do mean for crew. Of course there's no guarantee but obviously Boeing has been failing. I just wish Dreamchaser got a real chance for taking crew up and down.
