>> First, some of today's top stories, ten people in the city were killed over the weekend due to gun violence.

CPD data says 73 people were shot between Friday and Sunday evenings and that includes the fatal killing of 29-year-old police officer Ella France and much more in a moment.

>>> Illinois public health officials record 2500 new Covid cases in of the last 24 hours and six additional deaths and the positivity is 6.5% and this as they tout a milestone and more than adults over 18 received one shot of the vaccine and around 50% of teens 12 to 17 have received at least one dose of the Pfizer vaccine.

>>> And the entire Chicago area is under severe weather threats and a tornado watch has been issued by the national weather service for cook and surrounding Illinois counties, as well as Northwest Indiana until 10:00 p.m. on top of the forecasters, predicters are predicting heat indices of 100° and reports of funnel cloud touchdowns.

>>> Up next, the death of police officer Ella french.

Employee >>> This evening cook countystaa series of charges related to Saturday night's a shooting of two Chicago police officers and one officer died, another is recovering, but at last check remained in critical condition and it's stirring up emotions and pressure.

We're joined now with the latest.

Amanda?

>> Reporter: The charges remain from unlawful position of a weapon to murder and Chicago police superintendent David brown says 38 police officers have been shot at so far this year and 29-year-old Ella french was the first to be shot fatally in more than two years.

French was on duty in Englewood near west 63rd and bell when she was part of a patrol that pulled over a car.

We learned the pull-over was for expured expired plates.

There is no evidence to charge that woman and otherwise, they would.

But the state's attorney is bringing murder against 21-year-old Motay Morgan and they face unlawful use of a weapon by a felon.

>> One reason why this happened and one reason.

These two offenders killed Ella french.

And they tried to kill the third and second officers there.

That's the only person we're pointing the finger at today.

>> Separately, the U.S. attorney's office this afternoon announcing charges against Jamal Danzy who admitted the gun and bought it from a friend from Chicago because he knew that friend, one of the Morgan brothers, could not purchase or possess a firearm due to a criminal conviction in Wisconsin.

U.S. senator Dirk Durbin trying without avail to crack down on gun purchasing.

They have fought efforts.

While political fans mock efforts to monitor gun sales and we have lost one of Chicago's best to the disgusting enterprise.

They are calling on Chicago firearm's trafficking task force to commit to what he called a coordinated prosecution.

Alderman saying that he as been speaking with police officers who tell him that they're frustrating and hearing in one breath they are portrayed in a negative light with calls for police accountability and on the other, the mayor's office and brown putting officers in a position where he described it as, they're doing more PR work than policework.

>> Right now, this day and age, we're at war with the gangs and we need to untie the arms of the police officers and let them do their job.

We have communities held hostage by the gangs and we're telling police officer to go in.

They're not given support and you have issues where they're concerned about being the next victim themselves.

>> The Chicago police honoring french's memory, but also according to certain media reports, they took out the frustration on the mayor turning their backs on her when she went to the hospital to visit French's partner who has not been named.

The mayor saying now is not the time for devicive rhetoric or reporting.

This is a time for us to come together as a city and we have a common enemy and that is the conditions that breed the violence and the manifestation of violence, namely illegal guns and gangs.

The mayor will reject any and all that try to use this moment to further the visions in this city.

This is a sign of the pressures the administration is coming under and the alderman saying city is held hostage to violence and want police taking action.

While he did not explicitly call for brown's resignation, he did say the superintendent's strategy for combating violence needs to change.

>> They want the police to lock up these gang bangers holding these constituents and holding these folks hostage.

They're frustrated, too.

I'm frustrated and you can tell from my comments here that something needs to change.

I'm here ready to work, and, you know, there needs to be a better strategy put in place, in my opinion, and a different course and we are seeing the same numbers every weekend.

>> Among the change is more money going toward police technology.

For example, he says, shot spotter detecting gunshots.

Organization that back Chicago's new police oversight ordinance say that is not the answer and instead, it's the opposite.

Saying the key to reduce crime or a first step is investing in communities.

>> It's not only just assault active one individual, it's the connected tissue.

When you think of lack of investment and investments taken out of communities, lack of education, opportunity, lack of real job trajectories and you couple that with the opportunity of the housing crisis.

>> Hempfield again saying that community oversight giving an opportunity for people who had been, he says particularly those in black and brown communities who haven't been historically ignore.

You have superintendent brown challenged.

The question to which the superintendent took umbrage but for stops like these, cities wouldn't be safe.

>> Criminals who possess illegal guns are driving violent crime here and everywhere in this country.

And officers put themselves in harm's way stopping suspects like this so we can sleep safely in our homes at night.

>> French's partner is making makingrecovery and says police have recovering 7,500 illegal guns this year and each, he says, as was the case Saturday night, an opportunity for an officer to face violence for even death.

Yesterday, just a day after french's murder, they recovered another 33 firearms.

Brown ending this evening's press conference saying men officers are demorallalling like defunding the CPD.

>> Criticism, hypercriticism and when they do something well, no acknowledgement, no penetration of their great work for any consistent way and only the criticism of the mistakes they make and without acknowledging the risks they take.

>> The Morgans have a bail hearing for tomorrow.

Harris, back to you.

>>> And now to Brandice and a new report on climate change.

Brandice?

>> Paris, the united nations is calling a newly released climate report code red for humanity and it highlights that humans are a driving force in climate change.

Many changes due to past and are irreversible for centuries to millennia, ice sheets and global sea level and joining us to discuss the effect of climate change are program director at climb face and Illinois state climatologist strength Ford at urbana Champaign and this report makes it claim that humans are at fault for climate change and why is that important?

>> It was said with the most confidence that they have stated in any five reports.

It wasn't that it got more brash all of a sudden, but because the science building over the last ten years because of the AR5, the previous report, has just continued to pile on the evidence that human-induced increases in Carbon Monoxide greenhouse gases and changes in land cover are the primary cause of the increase in global average temperatures we've seen over the last 100 to 150 years.

>> To that end, Trent, the IPCC has released five previous reports of this nature sounding the same alarm for areas.

years.

Why are we still here?

>> That's a good yes.

question.

A lot was a lot of uncertainty in the science.

When you're imagining a climate changing, temperature changing upward, you have to decompose the variability, the day-to-day variability and it takes awhile to see that trend.

With that being said, there was, really the first few reports, especially the warnings that if these projections are true, this has really dire consequences for humanity.

Reading this report today, it was the first time that the report really felt like it was writing about something occurring instead of prophetic and in this case, it felt like it was describing something we're living through now.

>> That we're witnessing?

>> Yes.

>> Elaina, what was alarming to you?

>> The report that stood out to me was related to public health and it's clearer that extreme weather events like heatwaves, floods and droughts are happening more and are more intense because of human-induced climate change and not the sixth single events but happening at same time.

Heat, waves, droughts have an impact on our health.

If we look back to the 1995 heatwave, 700 people died.

But just this past summer, over 200 people died and Oregon and Washington during that heatwave and floods have health impacts ranging from injuries and deaths to respiratory and mold and, really, the emphasis on these compound events and they can also include infrastructure.

So, for example, there might be a heatwave, where the electrical grid is so overwhelmed, they're rolling brown-outs or blackouts and people don't have access to air conditioning and while air conditioning is a cause or can contribute to climate change, it also protects our health.

And then, in the same vein, when you think about floods, it can knock out electricity and for both of these events, this is particularly worrisome for those vulnerable.

>> The report cited heatwave peaks and during the 1850s through 1900, they only happened once and now they are likely to occur five times.

In about a decade, they predict the world will be.7° hotter and will be nine heatwave peaks and Trent, what is the danger in rising number of extreme heatwaves.

>> Well, with vulnerabilities of both urban is rural areas, we can focus on Illinois, where we have neighborhoods in Chicago, for example, that are much more vulnerable because of lack of access to cooling centers, green space that provide shade and even rural areas where, for example, folks are larger geographic distances and spend longer times outdoors.

Think about farmworkers in central Illinois.

The exposure rate of extreme heat, without a subsequent or coincidence decrease in vulnerability, that can be built into the system and increase public health outcomes, negative outcomes.

The second point, not only induced from the climate but from the social systems.

So we cannot only mitigate climate change but adapt to the changing in extreme heat to reduce the overall variability of citizens in Illinois and in Chicago.

>> The report didn't focus on rate or equity, focusing on the science and studies have shown black and brown communities will be hardest hit by climate change and why is that?

>> Well, you think we look at historical rainfall where there are different aspects to where these communities are living and how these communities have been invested in.

And so, you see black and brown communities and low-income communities with higher percentages of impervious pavement and that can increase your vulnerability to flooding.

For heat, it just reflecting back, right, and there is nowhere for the heat to go and that same for flooding.

Grease spaces, trees, shrub are shrubberyand grasses can absorby water.

How these neighborhoods have been developed and where these neighborhoods have been developed increases their susceptible.

ability.

In addition, they are along the trail of trucks and diesel-fueled transportation which not only, you know -- climate change is worsening air quality.

You have a number of these factors that increases their susceptiblability to the health change.

>> The rising temperatures, how will that affect Chicago?

>> Warmer winters sound good, but for aquatic ecosystems and it decreases lake ice and that makes for higher likelihood of winter storms and it provides a lot of negative impacts for Chicago.

>> My thanks to the both of you for joining us.

>> Thank you.

>> Thank you.

>> And check out our website for ten take aways from the climate change report, wttw.com/news.

>>> Up next, whether the property tax appeal's board should be scrapped.

Stay with us.

>> If a property owner or developer doesn't like their off cessed value and the taxes they have to pay, as a result they can appeal to assessor and if they still don't like their tax rate, they can bring it to another body, the state appeal board which awarded a one million dollars tax break to trump tower.

Our next guest arguing this is out of date and should be changed and they served as house majority leader and welcome back to Chicago tonight.

>> Thank you, and it's good to be with you.

And you both jointly wrote this and this obscure board, and Fritz, what's wrong with this body there.

>> When we're looking at questions of equity, that more appeals makes more for fairness has to come into question and the state property tax appeal's board, all that's left are big property owners.

They're basically whittling down their share and you have big property owners whittling down their share like trump tower, pushing the burden on others and it's really resulting in more unfairness.

>> When trump tower gets that break, it's more that others have to absorb.

You mention in this op-ed, that they passed a law creating this in the mid90s and how did this come to be?

>> Property tax lawyers have yeted one more bite at the apple and you can understand that, and they have a presence in springful.

This legislation passed during the time that the republicans controlled the house, the senate and governor's house and there had been earlier attempts to do just this and I think that the republican party in the house and in the senate and certainly in the governor's office was more that prepared to go along with the property tax lawyers.

So I spoke again and I said it was not a good policy then and not good policy now.

Tom Hines spoke out against his successor and people who complained about the policy from the beginning, but to complain doesn't mean you win.

>> I should mention, though, a couple of noticeable property tax lawyers, Mike Madigan, Fritz Kegan, they represent the high rise interests in the loop and anyone can utilize this system and the argument is, it does provide due process for Joe or Jane who do want to lower their taxes.

>> It's important for providing fairness for all prompt owners and you have multiple bites and the chance do this, you can do this at the assessor's office, at the board of review and many people do it every year.

But when you add more iterations to that, this is a classic example of systemic inequity, that the own people left at that time are the biggest property owners who many studies have shown are already being under-assessed.

You're having a system that's catering to the wealthiest property owners and there's a whole industry that exists to provide these excuses and then you have a venue that may accept them and there's no down sued.

side.

It puts more burden automatically onto everyone else and it has this double whammy effect because school boards and taxing bodies have to write checks to make up the difference.

It's cash out of their doors and grown at a rate since 2003 when Barbara tried to pass the bill and it's a fiscal, ticking time bomb.

>> Address that, and what is this costing took county taxpayers.

>> A lot, and let me say, there's a huge backlog and there was before cook county came under the rubric of able to appeal to the P-tab, but even then, there were long delays, but once you add cook county, there were more properties in cook county than in all of the rest of the state together and no surprise there's a terrible backlog.

I don't know what the answer is except to rethink and maybe cook county shouldn't be part of this appeal.

Maybe we should say this appeal opportunity is available to homeowners, to small businesses, but not too big industrial and commercial properties.

Maybe we should say let's beef of the procedures at the local level so that people have confidence and they're pretty convinced the answers they get from that appeal are accurate.

The state doesn't do a good job funding the board and it's not a surprise.

The state has nothing do gain that Ptab make.

>> With this delay in blast *R y could give a million-dollars tax break and they have to find the cash to make up the difference.

Fritz, when there are different assessed values from these off people's board verse what your office puts out, what accounts for that discrepancy?

>> Different people with different opinions and there are people to construct arguments to compare my property to this other property and sometimes you don't have quite enough data to establish what is the market and there is an industry which exists to convince you a double cheese burger is a salad.

These are arguments about valuation and under the law, it's supposed to be a mirror to the market.

The more that mayorer is distorted by systemic inquestio- >> This could stifle businesses.

>> We find record prices that are being paid for different assets in Chicago and I think they're not coming to be.

In the meanwhile, realignment in the system is shown to be necessary.

There was a study down by the gold field and they find in 2018, they were 15% under-assessed and an average homeowner, might be more than $1,000 a year, affecting their home but more than $10,000 and that is an incredible blow to the wealth, to people's incomes and needs to be repaired.

It got off track and we're trying to make that accountable by following the market as it should have been done.

>> We'll follow those assessments when they come out and our thanks to the both of you.

Thanks for joining us.

>> Much more ahead, but first, if you've seen random city objections in ornate yarn patterns, you're in luck.

Our correspondent introduces us to Chicago's yarn bomber and shares how a favorite pasttime lead her to beauty fewing the city.

>> This is a midwestern craft.

>> This is something I heard about others doing and I was, like, I have to do that.

>> Her first bomb hit the city in November of 2019, which lead her to putting up bombs made up of acrylic yarn.

>> They have exploded from buildings to bike posts to even bicycles and nothing is off limits.

Once she started to get more notoriety, it was at a forum in bronzeville.

>> They were talking about how to opportunity to beautify and expands this neighborhood.

I asked what I could do and we decided to reflect the art on the building and we raised $3,000 the last time I checked for the renovation.

>> This past earth day, Sherman created bombs for south -sideBlooms.

She saw it was a great opportunity to educate the public.

>> Each of my earth day bombs, you could have a QR code to bring you to a different cause for early day and the B-band, save the bees.

>> She donates any money to the community organizations she works with, even the pieces last from about six months to a year.

>> It is not designed to be forever.

It's meant to be taken down and you don't put the same level of effort into it, Nestle.

necessarily.

>> She's keeps up with them as they get dirty from sunlight.

>> They'll post a picture to the south loop and where are you and, it needs a fix or something.

I'll be right there.

>> While the yarn bombs have brought many opportunities, she's especially grateful to work with communities again.

>> It brings up people in the community who knit and crochet and get involved in public art and something you didn't think was art and totally is.

The ownership, people enjoy doing that and people have sad-looking bike racks and change it into bright and fun and I think every neighborhood loves that.

>> For Chicago tonight, I'm angel Edo.

>> I'm going to be on the look-out for yard bombs all over the city and as for the old bombs, valley creates pillow stuffing for animals at local shelters and if you're interested in touring them, visit our website and we go back to you.

>> Thank you, to find where the yard bomber has been.

>>> New leadership at the Chicago-based YMCA makes history.

That and more business headlines.

A new report from the university of Chicago finds 23 million Americans support using force to restore President Trump to the White House.

>>> An intimate conversation about gun violence about a mother whose son was recently killed.

>> Today's top stories.

Chicago's residences have reached a milestone in the fight against Covid-19.

The city says 50% of teens aged 12 to 17 have received at least one dose of the Pfizer vaccine, as well.

>>> Jury selection is underway in a Brooklyn federal courthouse for R. Kelly.

The grammery winner is facing sex trafficking charges related to leading a team of manager, body guards and others who recruit.

Kelly new defense team argues the women who grouppies and opening arguments are scheduled for August 16th.

>>> Be on the look-out for severe weather and we're out for a tornado watch.

Some storms could spin-off damaging wind and tomorrow for a heat watch.

>>> Exon is under a deal but are there bigger costs at play?

Here to go behind the headlines is Chicago reporter AD Quigg.

We know Exelon has struck an $885 million deal to buy out the nuclear partnership with french utility giant EDF and what is the significance about this move and why might it be detrimental to the balance sheet in.

>> This deal adds $880 million to the balance sheet, getting shifted to the power generation business which, of course, includes com-ed and this needs the OK from state of New York and it adds to their debt and at the end of June, the company add 1.$2 billion in debt and this is doubling their total.

The under fleet to struggled.

The struggle of the natural gas power plants and they had a huge major struggle and this is a big time of flux for Exelon.

>> The CEO resigned and what steps is the company talking to fill that role?

>> Two weeks ago, the company had a fumble when it went public with a blank check company and that merger was closed in mid-june.

As a result of that massive fumble, the CEO is stepping down effective immediately and taking its place is John Larson and the first report after it showed a huge staff turnover and revenue projections were lower than originally projected and the shares dropped by 50%.

One of the worse performances.

>> Wow, and lastly, in other CEO news, the YMCA based in Chicago named a new leader for the organization and who is she and what is special about this announcement?

>> Yes, her name is Suzanne McCormick, the first woman leader and she starts in September and replaces another leader, Kevin Washington.

The Y has 26 locates across the country and 13 in metro Chicago, including Blakeview and elmhurst.

Ahead has 30 years of experience.

>> 170 years of history.

>> Paris, back to you.

>> The January 6th attack on the capitol wasn't just a one-time event but a part of a growing insurrectionist movement and that's the conclusion from a Chicago survey and among the key findings and they believe the 2020 presidential election was stolen.

And in the report's author, we are joined by political science author by the university of Chicago and the director of the Chicago project on security and threats.

Great to have you back on Chicago tonight.

>> Thanks for having me.

>> So let's get to your survey conducted with 1,070 Americans across the country and hear aree findings.

And 65 million believe that the Biden presidency is illigetimate and what are the big take aways.

>> If you combine that they believe use of force to restore trump to the presidency is justified and that Biden is an illigetimate president, that equates to 21 million who hold both of those radical beliefs and that's really very distressing news because what that means that the sentimentse, they're not over.

They're continuing.

They are large in the body politic and this is very disturbing and even more so because we conducted a national representative sample with the national opinion research center, one of the most respective polling agencies on the planet and this is very sound data and we've stress tested it in numerous ways to see is there stability?

>> You're confident extrapolating from the 1,070 Americans to find these figures and what are driving these extreme beliefs?

>> There's two core belief underneath the insurrectionist movement and the first is the fear of the great replacement, the idea that the rights of blacks and Hispanic will dominates the rights of white.

And 6 3% of the 21 million hold that belief.

The other is the idea of a Qunon qbal, that there's a Satanic cult running the U.S. government and 5 3% believe that radical idea and that is important because it's not just how many in the movement believe it, but we can look at how this compares to the rest of the population.

Those two beliefs put you in the insurrectionist camp and 23% in the insurrectionist camp and 300% to 600% more likely and this is very important because these are real drivers.

Whereas issues like economic concerns, are you worrying about losing your job next year or can't pay a 500 bill or you've been bankrupt.

We've asked those questions and those aren't the drivers.

>> There's a conspiracy theory that's been a narrative for right-winged cable hosts.

>> You're seeing that right-wing rhetoric turning into action.

>> You're talking about party affiliation that you surveyed and what is the take away from that?

>> This is not just a republican party problem.

Yes, 51% are republican party numbers or lien republican, but 34% are independent and 10% are democratic.

That's really a cross-party phenomenon.

So we're seeing this is not just a split in the republican party.

>> Does it come up with initiatives that would help address this, especially in anticipation of the 2022 mid-terms and 2024 election.

With Covid, it takes time with science to come up with viable solutions and that's what is happening here.

We identified a surprising source of influence in the 21 million insurrection insurrectionists.That's differel Government and state government.

That's very important because it means that mayors and local leaders can have an outside influence on the movement and this points in a direction over the next few months to further stress test policy initiatives.

>> And kind of getting back to the old addage that old politics are local.

You see that the department of justice is doing this and something like 400 groups and in your survey, not an insignificant number of respondents had an allegiance.

>> One millions of 21 million are members of the militia groups and 20 million are not.

So yes, it's important to pay attention to militia groups because they are capability that we have to be concerned about and it's wrong to see this as wrong as a militia movement.

This has gone mainstream.

Three quarters of the 23 million live in cities.

This is more of a mainstream movement than we're used to thinking about.

>> Important point to understand and lastly, I assume they'll have more reports coming out.

>> This is our fifth report and we've been doing these since February is folks can go to our C-post report, the Chicago project on security and threats you can go to our American political violence page and see all five of the studies and we're underway with new studies in the fall.

>> Our thanks, as always, and thanks for joining us.

>> Up next, looking at Chicago's gun violence problem through the eyes of a mother whose son died because of it.

So please stay with us.

>> As journalists we work to avoid becoming a part of the stories we cover.

Sometimes the story is a part of us.

Last month, my friend Sonya Anderson's stepson was shot and killed two days before his 19th birthday and Myles lives in northbrook.

Last week, I sat down with Sonya to took as friends, as mothers of black sons and as two people who spent a lot of time thinking about issues of violence, equity and Mia is a journalist.

We first shared this on black voices and here is another look at the conversation that begins with how Myles came into her life.

>> I met Myles at four and a hatch.

half.

I have a recollection of the first time I went to go meet him and I was so nervous, like so nervous, and as you know, I spend a lot of time talking in front of people and in front of audience.

I don't think I've ever been as afraid in my life.

I rang the doorbell and immediately just started chattering my ear off as if we had known each other all our lives.

He was a people person and a person who attended to others and cared for others.

And he was the big brother and good friend.

>> It was Thursday morning, about three weeks ago, now.

I was here at home, my son was with his dad in Austin.

Because his dad is in Austin, he would visit on a regular basis and we would organize it, when Myles would be at his dad, it was important, they spend a lot of time together.

They were expecting Myles to arrive sometime the night before.

My son got up, noticed Myles' room had not been touched and noticed his brother lying in the backyard.

He let his dad know that Myles was in the backyard, it was super early in the morning and my son being the child he is, decided to go out and see what was going on and thought he was asleep in the backyard because he just turned ten a few weeks prior.

That's the sense he could make of it, and why would he think anything else.

He went out and tried to rouse, no response, obviously, and noticed the blood, ran back inside and alerted his dad and then called 9-1-1.

>> You have a lot of questions hearing that, just as a mother of a black son, as well, one of them who shares the same name.

One of the first things, the trauma Jona will carry and what are your thoughts and as a mom and a professional, how are you addressing that?

>> The book of Jona's life, there's a chapter, July of 2021, the day his brother was murder edand the day he discovered hisbrother's body.

I'm one of the lucky ones.

I have a network that immediately swooped in and one of the things that we did right away was reach out to counselors who specialize in working with young people who experience grief or trauma.

Friday morning as a family, we were sitting on a couch talking to a therapist and continued to see her on a regular basis since then.

>> What are your thoughts who have experienced what Jona experienced quite frequently and their lack of access to mental health care and obviously, that's not the only solution to Chicago's violence problem but part of it?

>> I'm struck by the fact that in this particular case, that, you know, Jona lived a reasonably happy and, you know, well-loved life up until this particular defining moment and his before was, for the most part, rainbows and sunny skies.

His after, I hope, mostly rainbows and sunny skies.

The reality is, there are young people in the city everyday right now as we speak who have a before not full of rainbows and sunny skies, experiencing trauma and that will be succeeded by additional trauma or other challenges.

And so, if anything, this is underscored for me the importance of investing in mental health supports and all kinds of ways to support the well-being of young people.

If this happens to us and we have resources and we have ways to access the supports that we need, what does this mean for other families, other young people who don't have this access?

As a city, we have to understand that we have to get through struggles to get through.

>> How do you want Myles to be remembered and talk away from learning about his story?

>> There's a piece of me that feels like if this shows us nothing else, it shows us that we are all connected in this story and in this journey together.

You'll be candid and say that the outpouring of support to me and my family has been incredible.

I mean, folks from every sector of my life have reached out with words of encouragement and support and people know and care about me.

But I think implicit in this is for many people, particularly folks who work in the sector that I work in, I just might, and I don't know this for a fact, but I have a strong suspicion, I just might be the first person, like the embodiment of the first person they've known personally that something like this has happened to who has been around their dinner table, who sits in meetings with them and I'm a peer and a colleague bring ag ba proximity to this issue.

We are not necessarily feeling this in our hearts and souls.

For folks who know me, this has landed this in a particular kind of way.

The other thing I keep thinking about, I've been saying, none of us is safe until all of us are safe.

You think of the work I do everyday.

You know about my background.

I have two ivy league degrees, I have traveled all over the world, worked for some of the most prominent leaders in this country.

I have devoted my entire life to equity and access and now to boys and young men of color and I could not save one of the boys of color in my own life.

To me, this means if I could not do it, right, if my family could be exposed to this horror, then, really, it could happen to anyone.

I don't say that to be alarmist or to, you know, use scare tactics.

I say it to say that we are truly all in this together.

There are no boundaries.

We are a community and we are a city.

Until we start to realize that one problem is all of our problems, one opportunity is all of our opportunities, then we'll never solve this and maximize the potential that our communities and our young people have.

>> And video posted to social media, Myles encouraged friends not to let the pandemic stop them to reaching out to people they care about.

Tomorrow isn't promised.

A good reminder to all of us.

You can find on our website.

Chicago police say they are investing but there have been no arrests.

We'll be back after this.

>> That's our show for this Monday Newt.

>> Join us tomorrow night live at 7:00.

A newspaper of healthcare workers are refusing Covid-19 C9 Jack'ses.

Covid-19 vaccinations.

from all of us here, thank you for watching and stay healthy and safe out there tonight and have a good one.
