[♪♪♪] >> GOOD EVENING AND WELCOME TO "CHICAGO TONIGHT."

I'M AMANDA VINICKY.

>> I'M PARIS SCHUTZ.

BRANDIS FRIEDMAN HAS THE EVENING OFF.

ON THIS VERY STORMY NIGHT... >> WE KNEW IT WOULD BE A CONS GUIENAL CALL BECAUSE IT WAS ONE OF FIVE STATES THAT MATTERED, MICHIGAN, PENNSYLVANIA, GEORGIA, ARIZONA.

>> CONSPIRING TO UNDERMINE AN ELECTION.

WE SPEAK TO THE LEAD COUNSEL OF A GROUP HOPING TO HOLD FRAUDULENT ELECTORS ACCOUNTABLE.

>> TOO MANY PEOPLE ARE DYING.

JESUS.

>> FOLLOWING WEEKS OF CALLINGS FOR ACTION, A BIPARTISAN GROUP OF SENATORS ANNOUNCED AN AGREEMENT ON GUN CONTROL.

WE HAVE LOCAL REACTION.

>> IT IS EVIDENT THAT OUR STREETS ARE NOT SAFE.

>> CYCLISTS AND PEDESTRIAN SAFETY ADVOCATES RALLY FOR CHANGE AFTER TWO TODDLERS ARE KILLED BY DRIVERS ON CHICAGO STREETS.

>> SUMMERTIME MEANS SWIMMING IN THE LAKE FOR MANY CHICAGOANS AND A NEW LAW AIMS TO MAKE THAT SAFER.

>> THE MAG MILE SEES THE BIGGEST RETAIL LEASE IN MORE IN FIVE YEARS THAT AND MORE FROM CRAIN'S.

>> WE GO UNDER THE SEA AT THE FIELD MUSEUM TO MEET AQUATIC CREATURES FROM THE TIME OF THE DINOSAURS.

>> NO, YOU ARE NOT GOING TO SAY THAT.

AND I WILL NOT LET YOU GET AWAY WITH THAT.

THAT IS AN ABSOLUTE SHAMEFUL THING TO SAY.

>> AND WE REMEMBER JIM RYAN, THE FORMER ILLINOIS ATTORNEY GENERAL GENERAL AND GUBERNATORIAL CANDIDATE WHO DIED YESTERDAY.

>> FIRST, SOME OF TODAY'S TOP STORIES... >> TORNADO SIRENS HAVE BEEN SOUNDING ALL OVER THE CITY AND THE REGION IN THE LAST HOUR.

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ISSUED A TORNADO WARNING UNTIL 7:15 FOR THE ENTIRE NORTH AND WEST PORTION OF THE CITY AND MUCH OF THE SOUTHWEST PORTION AS WELL.

THAT WARNING EXTENDS OVER O'HARE AND WESTERN INTO THE NORTHWESTERN AND WEST SUBURBS LIKE ELMHURST AND SCHAUMBURG.

WARNING MEANS POTENTIAL FUNNEL CLOUDS HAVE BEEN DETECTED AND RAIN, WINDS AND LIGHTNING ARE REPORTED.

WE WILL HAVE AN UPDATE LATER IN THE SHOW.

>> SIX PEOPLE WERE KILLED VIA GUN VIOLENCE AND 30 WERE SHOT OVER THE WEEKEND IN CHICAGO.

STILL TODAY POLICE SUPERINTENDENT DAVID BROWN HIGHLIGHTED THE FACT THAT HOMICIDES ARE DOWN 7% OVER THIS PERIOD LAST YEAR.

BROWN ALSO ADDRESSES CONCERNS ABOUT THIS WEEKEND'S UP COMING PRIDE PARADE AND FESTIVAL GIVEN THE 31 ARRESTS OVER THE WEEKEND OF MEMBERS OF A WHITE NATIONALIST GROUP THAT ALLEGEDLY PLAN TO RIOT AT A PRIDE EVENT IN IDAHO.

BROWN SAYS C.P.D.

IS COORDINATING ITS INTELLIGENCE AND IS ON HEIGHTENED ALERT.

>> WE ARE GOING TO BE VIGILANT TO INSURE THAT THIS EVENT AS WELL AS OTHERS GO OFF SAFELY.

AND WE'LL HOLD YOU ACCOUNTABLE IF YOU ARE PLANNING, IF YOU'RE DOING ANYTHING TO JEOPARDIZE THE SAFETY OF OTHERS.

>> EARLY VOTING FOR THE JUNE 28TH PRIMARY IS UNDERWAY IN ALL 50 CHICAGO WARDS.

EACH WARD HAS ONE EARLY VETTING LOCATION AND IT CAN BE FOUND ON THE CHICAGO BOARD OF ELECTIONS WEBSITE.

BOARD SAYS 2100 VOTERS FILED EARLY BALLOTS WITH 707,000 REQUESTING VOTE-BY-MAIL APPLICATIONS.

>> AND YOU CAN CHECK OUT OUR WTTW 2022 VOTER GUIDE TO HEAR FROM THE CANDIDATES IN THEIR OWN WORDS ON WHY THEY WANT YOUR VOTE.

IT'S ALL THAT... >> AND THE HOUSE SELECT COMMITTEE ON JANUARY 6TH HELD THE SECOND NATIONALLY TELEVISED HEARING TODAY.

THE COMMITTEE FEATURED TESTIMONY FROM HIGH LEVEL MEMBERS OF THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN AND FORMER U.S. ATTORNEY GENERAL WILLIAM BARR ALL SPRAINING THAT THEY KNEW TRUMP LOST THE ELECTION AND TRIED TO EXPLAIN THAT TO HIM.

BUT THOSE ADVISERS SAID TRUMP WOULD ONLY LISTEN TO MORE RADICAL VOICES ALLEGING WILD CONSPIRACY THEORIES ABOUT VOTER FRAUD.

>> HE REJECTED THE ADVICE FROM CAMPAIGN EXPERTS AND FOLLOWED THE COURSE RECOMMENDED BY AN APPARENTLY ENINETEEN RATED RUDY GIULIANI TO JUST BLAME HE BON AND INSIST THE VOTE COUNTING STOP.

THE FALSELY CLAIM EVERYTHING WAS FRAUDULENT.

>> AND ONE PROGRAMMING NOTE... WE EXPECTED TO HAVE A FORUM WITH THE CANDIDATES FOR THE SIXTH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT BUT BOTH INFORMED US THEY NEEDED TO CANCEL THEIR APPEARANCE.

>> UP NEXT WE LOOK AHEAD TO THE FUTURE OF JANUARY 6 COMMITTEE HEARINGS AND ABOUT FRAUDULENT ELECTORS.

SO PLEASE STAY WITH US.

>> Announcer: "CHICAGO TONIGHT" IS MADE POSSIBLE IN PART BY... >> TODAY'S JANUARY 6 HEARING FOCUSED ON TRUMP'S FALSE CLAIMS OF A STOLEN ELECTION AFTER SEVERAL ADVISERS INCLUDING THE FORMER ATTORNEY GENERAL TOLD HIM THOSE CLAIMS NO MERIT AND INDEED HE LOST.

PART OF THE ALLEGED SCHEME TO OVERTURN THE ELECTION INVOLVED HOPES THAT THE VICE-PRESIDENT MIKE PENCE WOULD REJECT ELECTORS AND HAVE STATES APPOINT DIFFERENT SLATES.

A GROUP OF REPUBLICANS PLAYED ALONG SIGNING FRAUDULENT DOCUMENTS FALSELY DECLARING THEMSELVES AS TRUMP ELECTORS.

NOW A LAW FIRM IS SUING TO BRING CRIMINAL CHARGES AGAINST SOME OF THEM.

JOINING US IS JEFF MANDELL PRESIDENT OF AD >> SY WANT TO ASK YOU YOUR REACTION TO THE CASE THE JANUARY 6 COMMITTEE MADE IN THEIR HEARINGS THUS FAR?

>> I THINK WHAT WE'RE HEARING IS WE'RE GETTING A LARGER PICTURE.

AND WE'RE SEEING ESPECIALLY IN TODAY'S HEARING, THAT PRESIDENT TRUMP WAS BASICALLY BEING TOLD BY MORE AND MORE PEOPLE THAT HE LOST.

AND HE WAS JUST SIDELINING THOSE PEOPLE AND LISTENING TO THE SMALLER AND SMALLER CORE OF PEOPLE WILLING TO LIE TO HIM.

WILLING TO TELL HIM HE WON.

AND IT WAS THAT TINY GROUP OF PEOPLE THAT WE BELIEVE WERE CONSPIRING AND SCHEMING TO MAKE SURE THAT THESE FRAUDULENT ELECTORS IN STATES AROUND THE COUNTRY INCLUDING WISCONSIN SUBMITTED FALSE PAPERWORK TO CONGRESS.

>> AND WISCONSIN IS THE STATE THAT YOUR LAWSUIT IS FOCUSING ON.

THE GROUP OF INDIVIDUALS THEY MEET IN SECRET IN THE STATE CAPITOL IN WISCONSIN ON THE DAY THE ELECTORS ARE CERTIFIED AFTER BIDEN WINS AND DECLARE THEMSELVES TRUMP ELECTORS.

TELL US ABOUT WHAT THEIR PLANS WERE?

>> YOU'VE GOT IT EXACTLY RIGHT.

AFTER THE VOTES ARE ALL COUNTED AFTER WE KNOW WHO WON EACH STATE THE WAY THE PRESIDENT IN THIS COUNTRY IS REALLY SELECTED IS THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE MEETS.

AND IT DOESN'T MEET IN WASHINGTON IT MEETS IN THE STATE CAPITOL IN EACH OF THE 50 STATES ON THE SAME DAY AT NOON LOCAL TIME.

HERE IN MADISON WE HAVE THE ELECTORS FOR JOE BIDEN WHO WON THE STATE OF IS BUSINESS WHO HELD A PUBLIC OPEN MEETING THAT HAD BEEN NOTICED IN ADVANCE AND THEY CAST WISCONSIN'S VOTES FOR JOE BIDEN TO BE THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.

SIMULTANEOUSLY, SECRETLY, SKULKING IN THE SHADOWS THE 10 INDIVIDUALS WHO WERE SUPPOSED TO BE THE ELECTORS IF TRUMP HAD WON, THEY MET AS WELL.

AND THEY FILLED OUT FAKE PAPERS AND SENT THOSE TO CONGRESS IN HOPES OF TRYING TO HIJACK WISCONSIN'S ROLE IN CHOOSING THE NEXT PRESIDENT.

>> AND YOU MENTIONED THE HEARINGS ARE LAYING OUT THE 3WR5UDER SCHEME LEADING UP TO JANUARY 6.

IS THERE EVIDENCE THAT THESE INDIVIDUALS WERE WORKING WITH THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN AS WE'VE SEEN SIMILAR SCENARIOS PLAY OUT IN OTHER STATES LIKE ARIZONA?

>> THERE ABSOLUTELY IS.

THERE HAVE BEEN NEW E-MAILS SHOWING COORDINATION IN ARIZONA AND IN GEORGIA.

BUT WE KNOW FROM SEVERAL MONTHS AGO THERE WERE MEMOS PUBLISHED ON THE FRONT PAGE OF THE "NEW YORK TIMES" THAT SHOWED THAT TRUMP ADMINISTRATION LAWYERS ON THE EAST COAST WERE IN COMMUNICATIONS DIRECTLY WITH TRUMP LAWYERS HERE IN WISCONSIN AND WERE CALLING THE SHOTS AND PULLING THE STRINGS TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN.

IT'S PART OF ONE LARGE SCHEME.

AND WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO THE REST OF THE HEARINGS TELLING US MORE AND UNCOVERING MORE OF EXACTLY HOW THIS WORKED.

>> SO THEY'VE FILED THESE DOCUMENTS THAT WERE FRAUDULENT.

THEY SENT THEM TO THE SENATE AND SENT THEM TO THE NATIONAL ARCHIVES.

SO MUCH OF THE LAW SEEMS TO BE UNCHARTERED WATERS.

WHAT EXACTLY DO YOU BELIEVE VIOLATED THE LAW AND MADE WHAT THEY DID CRIMINAL IN YOUR EYES?

>> WELL, I WOULD SAY TWO THINGS FIRST OF ALL WHAT THEY DID IS FUNDAMENTALLY UNFAIR.

NO ONE WHO HEARS ABOUT THIS THINKS IT IS OK.

IT IS NOT OK TO TRY TO SUBVERT ELECTIONS AND UNDERMINE OUR DEMOCRACY.

WHAT THEY DID IS ALSO SO OUTRAGEOUS, SO NOVEL, SO MUCH A DEPARTURE FROM OUR NEARLY 250-YEAR HISTORY AS A NATION, THAT IT'S DIFFICULT TO FIND A LAW THAT SPECIFICALLY SAYS WHAT THEY DID IS WRONG BECAUSE NO ONE THOUGHT THAT PEOPLE WOULD ACT THIS WAY.

I THINK THAT CONSPIRING ACROSS STATE LINES TO SUBVERT DEMOCRACY I THINK THAT IS WRONG AND I THINK IT CAN BE ANSWERED CIVILLY AND CRIMINALLY.

WE ARE THE FIRST CASE AND WE'RE TRYING TO BRING CIVIL CHARGES TO CREATE ACCOUNTABILITY FOR THESE PEOPLE.

THERE HAS TO DATE BEEN NO ACCOUNTABILITY FOR ANY OF THE FALSE ELECTORS OR THOSE WHO HELPED PLOT THIS OUT.

WE'RE HOPING WE CAN START THAT.

AND I'M HOPING THE INFORMATION THAT COMES TO LIGHT IN OUR SUIT, AND THROUGH THE JANUARY 6 COMMITTEE, CONVINCES PROSECUTORS AT THE STATE AND LOCAL LEVEL THE STATE AND FEDERAL LEVEL, TO CONSIDER THAT THESE PEOPLE DID BREAK CRIMINAL LAW AS WELL.

>> AND YOU FIRST BROUGHT A CASE BEFORE THE WISCONSIN ELECTION COMMISSION, THEY DISMISSED IT.

THERE MIGHT HAVE BEEN POLITICS INVOLVED.

WHAT IS THE JURISDICTION OF THIS CASE AND THE STATUS OF IT RIGHT NOW?

>> SURE.

WE INITIALLY SOUGHT ACCOUNTABILITY IN THREE WAYS; WE ASKED THE MILWAUKEE COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY TO INVESTIGATE WHETHER CRIMINAL LAWS WERE BROKEN.

WE ASKED THE WISCONSIN ELECTIONS COMMISSION IS A PARTISAN POLITICAL BODY TO INVESTIGATE WHETHER THE ELECTION CODE IN WISCONSIN WAS BROKEN.

AND WE ASKED THE WISCONSIN OFFICE OF LAWYER REGULATION WHICH TAKES CARE OF ETHICS FOR ATTORNEYS, TO STATE THAT THOSE FRAUDULENT ELECTORS IN WISCONSIN WHO IS AN ATTORNEY VIOLATED LEGAL HE ETD THICKS.

ALL OF THOSE ARE IN PROCESS.

AND WE ARE HOPEFUL THOSE ARE GOING TO COME TO FRUITION.

WHAT IS NOVEL ABOUT OUR SUIT WE HAVE BROUGHT TOGETHER SEVERAL INDIVIDUAL PLAINTIFFS AND AGOD THAT THE FRAUDULENT ELECTORS AND THOSE WHO ASSISTED THEM VIOLATED CIVIL LAW IN WISCONSIN.

AND WE'RE TRYING TO CREATE ACCOUNTABILITY BY HAVING A COURT SAY WHAT THEY DID IS WRONG AND CANNOT HAPPEN AGAIN BY BARRING THESE INDIVIDUALS FROM PARTICIPATING IN THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE IN WISCONSIN AGAIN AND POSSIBLY BY HAVING THEM PAY DAMAGES.

>> 15 SECONDS LEFT, AS WE KNOW, WISCONSIN REPUBLICANS HAVE CARRIED OUT ATTEMPTS TO DECERTIFY THE ELECTION WELL AFTER BIDEN TOOK OFFICE.

WHAT IS THE STATUS OF WHAT IS HAPPENING THERE?

>> THOSE ATTACKS ARE ONGOING.

THEY ARE COMPLETELY BASELESS AND THERE IS NO POSSIBILITY OF THEM ACTUALLY PREVAILING.

BUT WISCONSIN IS AT THE FOREFRONT OF EFFORTS TO ATTACK AND DESTROY DEMOCRACY IN AMERICA AND WE ARE GOING TO CONTINUE TO SEE THAT.

THAT IS WHY WE CREATED LAW FORWARD TO PROTECT DEMOCRACY IN WISCONSIN.

>> INTERESTING THINGS IN WISCONSIN.

THANKS TO JEFF MANDELL THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.

>> THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.

>> AND WE'RE BACK WITH MORE "CHICAGO TONIGHT" IN JUST A MOMENT.

FIRST, A LOOK AT SOME OF OUR UP COMING FUTURE CANDIDATE FORUMS... A SERIES OF MASS SHOOTINGS SPURRING DEMANDS FOR CONGRESS TO ACT.

SENATORS FROM BOTH SIDES OF THE TABLE REACHED THE GUN SAFETY AGREEMENT.

THE BIPARTISAN FRAMEWORK WITH SUPPORT FROM 10 REPUBLICANS INCLUDES FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR STATES TO CREATE OR ADMINISTER SO-CALLED RED FLAG LAWS, NEW SPENDING ON MENTAL HEALTH TREATMENT AND SCHOOL SECURITY.

ALSO ENHANCED BACKGROUND CHECKS FOR GUN BUYERS UNDER THE AGE OF 21.

JOINING US TO DISCUSS THIS NEW PROPOSAL ARE RHONDA EZELL, SHE IS CREATOR AND COFOUNDER OF CHICAGO GUNS MATTER.

ALSO PHIL ANDREW PRINCIPLE OF PACKS GROUP AND A FORMER SPECIAL AGENT WITH THE FEDERAL BURROW OF INVESTIGATION LED A VIOLENCE PREVENTION ORGANIZATION AND A SURVIVOR OF THE 1988 WIN KA FAMILY SHOOTING.

THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.

RHONDA EZELL I WANT TO BEGIN WITH YOU.

THIS IS A FRAMEWORK: WE DON'T HAVE THE LANGUAGE YET.

BUT THE BACKERS DESCRIBE IT AS COMMON SENSE.

DO YOU SEE IT THAT WAY?

>> NO, I DON'T.

THAT'S JUST THE TERMINOLOGY THEY USE WHEN THEY ARE TRYING TO IMPOSE MORE RESTRICTIVE LEGISLATION.

WHAT I DO BELIEVE IS I DO SUPPORT THEM GETTING SOMETHING FOR MENTAL HEALTH AND FOR HARDENING OUR SCHOOLS.

ANYTHING OUTSIDE OF THAT IS VIOLATING THE RIGHTS OF LAW-ABIDING AMERICANS.

WHEN YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT RAISING THE AGE LIMIT TO 21, AND THEN EXTENDING BACKGROUND CHECKS ON THESE INDIVIDUALS, YOU ARE NOT DOING THAT -- YOU'VE GOT THEM FIGHTING FOR THIS COUNTRY AT 18, 19 AND 20.

AND THEY ARE HANDLING THE SAME FIREARM.

BUT THEN WHEN IT'S UP TO THEIR PERSONAL SAFETY, THEY ARE BEING JUDGED THEY ARE BEING RED FLAGGED SO TO SPEAK THEY ARE NOT GETTING THE DUE PROCESS.

I'M NOT AGREEING WITH WHAT THEY HAVE IN THIS PACKAGE.

I HAVE NOT RED ANYTHING.

I DON'T KNOW THE BILL NUMBER.

IT'S JUST A FRAMEWORK OF SOMETHING THAT THEY'VE COME TO AGREE ON.

AND TO ME IT'S JUST MORE FEEL GOOD MEASURES BECAUSE AT THE END OF THE DAY, YOU CANNOT LEGISLATE AWAY EVIL.

CRIMINALS ARE GOING TO CONTINUE TO COMMIT HEINOUS ACTS.

THEY PLAN THESE THINGS OUT IN ADVANCE.

AND JUST LIKE THE CRIME WE SEE RIGHT NOW AND THE PREVIOUS MASS SHOOTINGS.

THERE ARE LAWS ON THE BOOKS AGAINST MURDER IN THE FIRST PLACE AND YET THE PEOPLE STILL COMMITTED A CRIME.

>> WE'LL GET BACK TO THAT.

I WANT TO HONE IN ON THE AGE.

I WANT TO BRING YOU IN PHIL, THE PRESIDENT HAS DESCRIBED THIS AS WHAT WOULD BE THE MOST SIGNIFICANT LEGISLATION IMPACTING GUNS IN DECADES.

DO YOU SEE THIS IF IT WERE TO PASS AS THAT MONUMENTAL?

>> WELL, UNFORTUNATELY IT IS THAT MONUMENTAL.

WE HAVE BEEN STYMIED IN PASSING THINGS AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL DESIGNED NOT TO RESTRICT PEOPLE'S RIGHTS BUT TO KEEP DANGEROUS WEAPONS FROM GETTING INTO DANGEROUS HANDS.

AND THE INCENTIVES FOR CREATING RED FLAG LAWS IN STATES ADDITIONAL SUPPORT FOR MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES, AND SCHOOL SECURITY, BUT COMING THAT WITH -- COUPLING THAT WITH BACKGROUND CHECKS THAT INCLUDE JUVENILE RECORDS SO IF SOMEONE HAD MENTAL CAPACITY ISSUE AS A JUVENILE THAT CAN BE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT.

BEFORE WE WOULD BE GIVEN A DAY [INAUDIBLE] IT FALLS SHORT OF RESTRICTING ASSAULT WEAPONS OR WEAPONS OF WAR FROM THOSE THAT ARE UNDER 21.

AND AS HAS BEEN POINTED OUT THE LAST TWO SHOOTINGS WERE CONDUCTED BY FOLKS WHO WAITED TO THEIR BIRTHDAY TO BUY AR-15'S.

AND THEN USE THEM AGAINST SCHOOLS.

>> ONE OF THE MAJOR PLAYERS IN THESE DEBATES, OF COURSE, IS THE NATIONAL RIFLE ASSOCIATION WHICH SAID IT'S NOT GOING TO TAKE A POSITION UNTIL THE TEXT OF THE BILL IS AVAILABLE.

SAID THAT IT'S COMMITTEDDED TO QUOTE REAL SOLUTIONS AND WENT ON TO SAY THAT THE NRA WILL CONTINUE TO OPPOSE ANY EFFORT TO INSERT GUN CONTROL POLICIES, INITIATIVES THAT OVERRIDE CONSTITUTIONAL DUE PROCESS PROTECTIONS AND EFFORTS TO DEPRIVE LAW-ABIDING CITIZENS OF THEIR RIGHT TO PROTECT THEMSELVES AND LOVED ONES INTO THIS OR ANY OTHER LEGISLATION.

RHONDA, BACK TO YOU, THEY ARE WALKING A FINE LINE.

HOW DOES THIS TAKE AWAY A SECOND AMENDMENT RIGHT THAT LOTS OF CONSTITUTIONAL SCHOLARS SAY IS NOT ABSOLUTE?

>> THOSE SCHOLARS ARE WRONG.

THE SECOND AMENDMENT IS ABSOLUTE.

THE SECOND AMENDMENT IS ABOUT WHAT TYPE OF FIREARM YOU CAN HAVE.

THE SECOND AMENDMENT WAS PUT IN PLACE TO KEEP OUR GOVERNMENT IN CHECK TO PREVENT GOVERNMENT OVERREACH.

TO PREVENT TYRANNY AGAINST THE CITIZENS.

>> THERE'S NOTHING IN YOUR OPINION THAT YOU BELIEVE THAT COULD BE DONE THAT WOULD NOT IMPACT THE SECOND AMENDMENT THAT DEALS WITH GUNS?

>> NOT AS FAR AS LEGISLATION IS CONCERNED.

AGAIN, ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT BACKGROUND CHECKS.

WE HAVE THE SON OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA LIED ON THAT 4473 FORM FOR HIS BACKGROUND CHECK WHEN HE BOUGHT A FIREARM.

AND NOTHING WAS DONE THERE.

SO WHAT IS THE SYSTEM DOING?

IS IT WORKING?

DOES IT WORK FOR SOME OR OTHERS?

>> YOU WANTED TO JUMP IN THERE?

>> THE TRUTH IS THAT THEY HAVE BEEN SHOWN TO WORK.

THEY ARE INCREDIBLY EFFECTIVE IN TERMS OF VETTING OUT WHO IS ALREADY HAS A CRIMINAL RECORD OR I ADANGEROUS HISTORY.

THEY OBVIOUSLY NEED TO BE ENHANCED.

AND THAT'S WHY 80% OF GUN OWNERS AGREE WITH ENHANCED BACKGROUND CHECKS.

AND YOU CAN SEE THE GRIP OF THE GUN LOBBY STARTING TO FADE DUE TO FINANCIAL MISMANAGEMENT, FRAUD, COLLUSION WITH A RUSSIAN SPY AND THEIR SENIOR EXECUTIVES REALLY IMPLODED.

THEIR GRIP IS STARTING TO SLIP.

EVEN TO THE TUNE THAT WE SEE MITT ROMNEY IS WILLING TO SUPPORT THIS PACKAGE AND HE IS ONE OF THE HIGHEST MONEY GETTERS FROM THE GUN LOBBY.

>> WOULD IT MAKE A DIFFERENCE, IF THE SENSE THAT THE UVALDE SHOOTER DID NOT HAVE OFFICIAL BACKGROUND IN TERMS OF EITHER MENTAL HEALTH, CRIMINAL BACKGROUND CHECK, WOULD ANYTHING HAVE BEEN FOUND IN A THIS EXTRA MEASURE?

>> ABSOLUTELY.

IN FACT, HE DID HAVE CONTACT AS A JUVENILE FOR HAVING MADE THREATS.

AND THAT IS SOMETHING THAT IS GOING AROUND THE COUNTRY.

EVEN IN OUR COMMUNITY HERE, I KNOW OF SEVERAL WITHIN THE CHICAGO AREA, JUST IN THE LAST 72 HOURS, IN WHICH LAW ENFORCEMENT WAS NOTIFIED OF SOMEBODY MAKING A DANGEROUS THREAT AND THEY WERE ABLE TO INTERVIEW AND DENY THEM ACT ISES TO FIREARMS.

THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT TOOL.

IT'S PROVEN EFFECTIVE IN THE STATES THAT HAVE THESE.

AND IT'S TIME FOR US TO START PAYING ATTENTION TO THE DATA INSTEAD OF THE GREED IN THE GUN LOBBY.

>> RHONDA, GO AHEAD, LAST WORD?

>> I WAS GOING TO SAY WE HAD THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION THAT WAS NOT PUTTING PEOPLE INFORMATION IN THE SYSTEM TO BE CHECKED.

AND THEY KNOW THEY DID.

WE HAD OPERATION FAST AND FURIOUS.

WE JUST HAD PRESIDENT BIDEN LEAVE BILLIONS OF DOLLARS WORTH OF HARDWARE OVER IN AFGHANISTAN.

SENT BILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO UKRAINE WHICH THEIR CITIZENS ARE USING THOSE FIREARMS.

AND, YET, THEY WANT TO DISARM AMERICA?

IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.

WE'RE NOT GOING TO GIVE UP OUR FIREARMS.

>> AND THAT IS ALL THE TIME WE HAVE.

WE WILL SEE IF ANYTHING COMES TO FRUITION WITH THIS LEGISLATION.

CONGRESS SET FOR A RECESS LATER THIS MONTH.

AND STILL WAITING FOR THE FRAMEWORK TO TAKE FORM LEGISLATIVELY.

AND BY THE WAY, CRACKS DOWN ON STRAW PURCHASES.

OUR THANKS TO RHONDA EZELL AND PHIL ANDREW.

>> THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.

>> YOU BET.

>> AND BACK WITH MORE "CHICAGO TONIGHT" RIGHT AFTER THIS.

>> THE FIELD MUSEUM IS DIVING DEEP TO INTRODUCE VISITORS TO UNDERWATER WILDLIFE THAT LIVED 200 MILLION YEARS AGO.

MARC VITALI GAVE US A PREVIEW OF THE EXHIBITION JURASSIC OCEANS, MONSTERS OF THE DEEP.

HERE IS ANOTHER LOOK.

>> WHEN DINOSAURS RULED THE LAND, CREATURES LIKE THE PLEASE PLEASE THRIVED IN THE SEA.

THROUGH ANIMATION, MODELS, AND FOSSIL SPECIMENS THE FIELD MUSEUM SHEDS LIGHT ON THE FASCINATING AND THE FIERCE.

>> THIS EXHIBITION IS ALL ABOUT WHAT IS HAPPENING UNDER THE SEAS DURING THE TIME OF THE DINOSAURS.

IT'S FEATURING THE MARINE REPTILES THAT RULED THE OCEAN.

ALL THE CREATURES AROUND YOU.

>> THE LOCKNESS MONSTER WAS THOUGHT TO BE A SURVIVING DINOSAUR.

>> IT'S KNOWN FOR THE LONG NECK AND A COOL FEATURE BECAUSE IT USE TO DO TO SNEAK UP ON THINGS.

THE SMALL HEAD COULD GET CLOSE BEFORE THE REST OF THE LARGE BODY APPEARED TO THE PREY.

>> THE MUSEUM IS THE FIRST U.S. STOP FOR A SHOW THAT CAME FROM ACROSS THE SEA.

>> ALL OF THE FOSSILS ARE COMING DIRECTLY FROM THE COLLECTIONS OF THE NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM IN LONDON.

MOST FROM THE U.K.

WHICH IS ONE OF THE BEST PLACES IN THE WORLD TO FIND A LOT OF THE MARINE REPTILE FOSSILS.

THE EXHIBITION INCLUDES AMAZING ANIMATION THAT CAN HELP YOU SEE WHAT THE CREATURES LOOKED LIKE AS THEY WERE SWIMMING AROUND, HUNTING, TRYING TO AVOID BEING HUNTED AND FOSSILS INCLUDING FOSSILS AND REPLICAS THAT VISITORS CAN TOUCH.

>> THE VISITS DO TO THE INCLUDE COPPER LIGHTS.

>> WE HAVE THE ENTIRE ECOSYSTEM REPRESENTED FROM THE HUNTER, THE APEX PREDATORS DOWN TO THE INVERTEBRATES AND FISH THAT THEY ARE EATING.

YOU MAY SEE THINGS THAT LOOK FAMILIAR BECAUSE THEY LOOK LIKE THEY HAVE THE SHAPE OF DOLPHINS BUT THEY ARE NOT RELATED.

THE FEATURES THAT BENEFITED THEM ALSO BENEFIT THE DOLPHINS; THE LONG SNOUT AND THE ABILITY TO CUT THROUGH THE WATER.

>> NOT EVERY SPECIMEN HAILS FROM THE DIE SORE PERIOD.

MEG LA DONE WAS NOT A SHARK.

>> THE EXHIBITION INCLUDES SHARKS AS WELL.

ANCIENT SHARKS THAT WAS THE LARGEST SHARK TO EVER LIVE IT LIVED MILLIONS OF YEARS AFTER THE TIME OF THE MARINE REPTILES BUT IT INHERITED THE SEAS LATER ON.

>> YOU CAN REALLY DIVE IN TO SEE ALL THE CREATURES OF THE PAST AND IMAGINE THE WORLD AS IT HAS BEEN IN THE PAST.

THE JURASSIC OCEANS WERE FULL OF LIFE AT EVERY LEVEL OF THE ECOSYSTEM.

>> FOR "CHICAGO TONIGHT" THIS IS MARC VITALI.

>> THE EXHIBITION IS NOW OPEN AT THE FIELD MUSEUM AND RUNS THROUGH SEPTEMBER 5.

YOU CAN SEE MORMONSTERS OF THE DEEP ON OUR WEBSITE.

>> AND AMANDA WE TOSS IT BACK TO YOU.

>> THANKS, PARIS.

STILL TO COME ON "CHICAGO TONIGHT"... A NEW FAST FOOD CHAIN OPENS IN RUSSIA AFTER MCDONALD'S SHUTS LOCATIONS ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

THAT AND MORE FROM CRAIN'S.

>> AFTER TWO TODDLERS AND AN ELDERLY MAN ARE KILLED BY DRIVERS, ADVOCATES SAY DRASTIC CHANGES ARE NEEDED TO MAKE CITY STREETS SAFE FOR ALL.

>> SUMMERTIME MEANS SWIMMING IN THE LAKE FOR MANY AND A NEW LAW AIMS TO MAKE IT SAFER.

>> AND REMEMBERING JIM RYAN WHO DIED YESTERDAY AT 76.

>> BUT FIRST, SOME OF TODAY'S TOP STORIES... >> LATE WORD THIS EVENING THAT THE 17-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER OF CONGRESSMAN SEAN CAST 10 DIED TIME.

THEY HAVE REQUESTED PRIVACY AND RELEASED NO FURTHER INFORMATION.

OUR CONDOLENCES TO THE CONGRESSMAN AND HIS FAMILY.

WE MENTIONED IN THE SHOW THAT CONGRESSMAN CASTEN HAD BEEN SCHEDULED TO JOIN US THIS EVENING.

AND A TORNADO WARNING WAS ISSUED WITHIN THE HOUR FOR PARTS OF COOK AND DUPAGE COUNTIES.

A TORNADO WATCH IS IN EFFECT UNTIL 11:00 P.M. FOR MUCH OF THE AREA.

THAT WARNING THROUGH 7:45.

AS FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS IT'S ABOUT TO GET HOT, HOT, HOT!

ENOUGH THAT THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HEAT ADVISORY WILL BE IN EFFECT STARTING NOON TOMORROW THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT.

THE HEAT INDEX COULD TOP 109.

STAYING OUT OF THE SUN AND IN AIR-CONDITIONING AND CHECKING IN ON THOSE WHO CAN'T.

AND DRINKING LOTS OF WATER.

DON'T LEAVE KIDS OR PETS IN CARS.

>> RECESSION FEARS RISE AS STOCKS TUMBLE.

THE U.S. NOW IN BEAR MARKET TERRITORY.

AS THE S&P DROPPED 3.9%.

AND A DIP OF MORE THAN 20% SINCE JANUARY'S HIGH.

THE DOW AND NASDAQ DOWN.

ECONOMISTS ARE WATCHING FOR THE FEDERAL RESERVE TO MAKE NEWS ON INTEREST RATES WEDNESDAY.

>> LEADERS KICKED OFF CELEBRATIONS FOR JUNETEENTH HOLDING A CEREMONY TO RAISE A JUNETEENTH FLAG AT DALEY CENTER.

>> JUNETEENTH ALSO KNOWN AS FREEDOM DAY REMINDS US THAT OUR PURSUIT OF RACIAL EQUITY A FUTURE STATE WHERE RACE IS NO LONGER A PREDICTTER OF OUR OUTCOMES CANNOT BE ACHIEFED WITHOUT AN HONEST RECKONING OF OUR PAST AND A STRATEGIC PURSUIT OF OUR FUTURE.

>> JUNETEENTH IS SUNDAY.

IT IS A STATE AND FEDERAL HOLIDAY FOR THE SECOND YEAR.

>> ILLINOIS IS INCREASING ACCESS TO A PROGRAM THAT HELPS LOW-INCOME FAMILIES AFFORD CHILDCARE.

STARTING NEXT MONTH, FAMILIES WITH INCOMES BELOW 225% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LINE WILL BECOME ELIGIBLE FOR STATE HELP.

UP FROM THE PREVIOUS LIMIT OF 200%.

>> IN ORDER FOR ME TO BE WHERE I'M AT NOW, I NEEDED CHILDCARE.

I WENT THROUGH A DIVORCE.

HOW CAN I PROVIDE IF I HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT WHO IS GOING TO WATCH MY KIDS?

IT ALLOWED ME TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL AND WORK AND FOCUS ON MYSELF BECAUSE I DIDN'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT MY KIDS' SAFETY.

>> ILLINOIS WILL PAY DAYCARE PROVIDERS WHO PARTICIPATE IN THIS STATE CHILDCARE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM ADDITIONAL FUNDING.

>> ONLY 17 ARTISTS ACHIEVED OGOT STATUS, JENNIFER HUDSON NOW AMONG THEM.

HUDSON WON A TONY FOR PRODUCING THE YEAR'S BEST MUSICAL A STRANGE LOOP.

HER AWARDS SHELF HAS AN EMMY, TWO GRAMMY'S AND AN OSCAR.

>> A NEW FAST FOOD CHAIN OPENS IN RUSSIAN IT MIGHT LOOK AND TASTE FAMILIAR.

MEANWHILE BACK HOME, THE MAG MILE GETS A NEW AND MUCH-NEEDED TENANT AND THE OLD POST OFFICE FOOD HALL IS OFFICIALLY OPEN.

HERE BEHIND THE HEADLINES IS CRAIN'S CITY BUSINESS EDITOR ANN DWYER.

MCDONALD'S SHUTTERED ITS RESTAURANTS IN RUSSIA BUT A NEW FAST FOOD CHAIN HAS TAKEN ITS PLACE.

WHAT IS THIS CALLED AND WHAT DO WE McKNOW ABOUT IT.

>> YOU ARE GOING TO MAKE ME SAY IT?

>> I'M NOT GOING THERE.

>> I WILL JUST MANGLE THIS NAME BUT THE NAME IS...

I'M TOLD TRANSLATES TO TASTY AND THAT'S IT.

NOW, THERE ARE PLANS TO OPEN 200 BRANCHES BY THE END OF JUNE AND ALL OF THE RESTAURANTS NATIONWIDE THAT IS 850 THAT MCDONALD'S ABANDONED BY THE END OF THE SUMMER.

THE NEW OPERATOR CLAIMS THAT ALL 62,000 EMPLOYEES WILL BE RETAINED AT THE NEW STORES.

A LOT OF THE DETAILS OF THE SALE ARE STILL UNKNOWN TO US.

RUSSIAN INVESTOR HAS AGREED TO BUY THE ENTITY.

BUT FOR NOW, WE KNOW FOR SURE THAT MCDONALD'S BRAND IS OFFICIALLY EXITED FROM RUSSIA AND THE NEW BRAND IS TAKING ITS PLACE.

>> DO WE KNOW DO THEY HAVE THOSE TASTY SALTY FRIES AND COKE?

>> THEY CLAIM THEY HAVE A LOT OF THE SAME RECIPES.

COKE, I CANNOT GUARANTEE.

BUT EVERYTHING ELSE, YES.

>> WELL, THAT'S IT.

FOR THAT STORY.

MOVING 0 AND TO THE IMAGE INFIELD SEPTEMBER MILE GETTING THE BIGGEST RETAIL LEASE SINCE 2015. WHO IS THAT NEW LEASE AND WHERE IS IT AND WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR CHICAGO'S PREMIER COMMERCIAL DISTRICT?

>> WELL, IT'S ONE OF THE MARQUEE SPACES ON THE MILE THE OLD GAP FLAGSHIP WHICH HAS BEEN EMPTY FOR A WHILE.

THE NEW TENANT IS A CANADIAN APPAREL BRAND AND IT'S AGREED TO TAKE UP THE 46,000 SQUARE-FOOT SPACE AT 555 NORTH MICHIGAN AVENUE MAKING IT THE BIGGEST RETAIL LEASE ON THE MAG MILE SINCE 2015.

AND IT IS A MUCH-NEEDED SHOT IN THE ARM FOR THAT STRETCH OF MICHIGAN AVENUE.

IT'S BEEN ON A KEEL SINCE THE PANDEMIC WITH THE EXIT OF MACY'S, GAP, AND OTHER TENANTS.

THAT STRETCH FROM NORTH OF THE RIVER UP TO OAK STREET HAS BEEN ALMOST A QUARTER VACANT.

SO THIS IS WELCOME NEWS FOR TENANTS AND LANDLORDS IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD.

>> SPENT A LOT OF TIME IN THAT GAP SHOP IN MY DAY.

I HAVE TO VOLUNTEER AND CHECK OUT THE LATEST IN FASHION.

LASTLY, A FOOD HALL IN THE OLD POST OFFICE IS OFFICIALLY OPEN.

WHAT CAN HUNGRY PATRONS EXPECT?

>> WELL IT IS A WHOLE PANOPLY OF OPTIONS.

THEY ARE LOOKING TO MAKE THIS ECLECTIC AND WIDE RANGING AS POSSIBLE.

YOU WILL FIND TACOS, HOT CHICKEN, BAKED GOODS AT THE CENTER OF IT ALL, A NEW BAR WHICH I LEARNED TODAY IS POST OFFICE SLANG FOR THE BLUE MAILBOXES ON CORNERS NEAR YOU.

NOW, THE DEVELOPERS BEHIND THIS FOOD HALL ARE THE SAME FOLKS WHO BROUGHT YOU THE HALL IN PILSEN AND THE LOOP'S REVIVAL FOOD HALL AND THE SALT SHED AS THE OLD MORTON SALT WAREHOUSE.

THEY HAVE A TRACK RECORD AND THE HOPES ARE HIGH THIS WILL DRAW TRAFFIC NOT JUST FROM THE POST OFFICE WHICH IS ALMOST FULL, BUT ALSO FROM PEOPLE IN THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOOD.

>> RETURNING TO THE OFFICE AND EATING THERE, TOO.

THANK YOU FOR THAT EDUCATION, ANN DWYER.

>> THANK YOU.

>> AND NOW PARIS WE TOSS IT BACK TO YOU.

>> ALL RIGHT THANK YOU.

A 75-YEAR-OLD MAN WAS STRUCK AND KILLED BY A DRIVER IN NORTH CENTER YESTERDAY WHILE CROSSING IRVING PARK ROAD.

HE IS THE 15TH PEDESTRIAN KILLEDDED IN CHICAGO THIS YEAR ACCORDING TO CITY DATA.

FOUR BICYCLISTS HAVE BEEN KILLED.

THE DEATH CAME HOURS AFTER A RALLY AND MARCH FOR PSYCH KETTIST AND PEDESTRIAN SAFETY SPARKED BY THE DEATHS OF TODDLERS KILLED BY DRIVERS THIS MONTH.

>> RAFFY AND LILLEY THEY WERE TWO SWEET CHILDREN.

AND THEY WERE KILLED BECAUSE CHICAGO KEEPS FAILING THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE AND VISIT THIS CITY.

>> AND "CHICAGO TONIGHT'S" NICK BLUMBERG WAS AT YESTERDAY'S RALLY AND JOINS US WITH MORE.

WHAT WAS THAT RALLY LIKE?

IT.

STARTED AT THE LINCOLN SQUARE INTERSECTION WHERE RAFI CARDENAS WAS STRUCK BY A DRIVER WHILE CROSSING THE STREET ON A SCOOTER.

SHE HAD NOT BEEN CITED FOR THE CRASH.

RAFI CARDENAS' PARENTS SPOKE TO THE CROWD THAT GATHERED AND SAID THAT EVERYONE SHOULD FEEL COMFORTABLE ON THE STREETS OF THE PLACE THEY CALL HOME.

>> THIS IS WHERE WE SHOULD FEEL SAFE.

WHERE OUR CHILDREN SHOULD BE ABLE TO PLAY, WHERE WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO RAISE OUR FAMILIES, WHERE ANYONE SHOULD BE ABLE TO TAKE A STROLL OR A BIKE RIDE OR RIDE THEIR SCOOTER WITHOUT FEARING THE WORST.

>> IN TIMES OF TRAUMA AND GRIEF WE ASK OURSELVES SO MANY QUESTIONS.

WE SEARCH FOR ANSWERS IN SITUATIONS WHERE THERE MAY NOT BE ANY.

IN SPITE OF THAT, WE MUST SEEK OUT OPPORTUNITIES TO ENACT CHANGE WE HAVE TO TRY.

>> AFTER RAFFY'S FAMILY AND OTHERS ADDRESSED THE CROWD THE GROUP MARCHED A MILE-AND-A-HALF TO WHERE LILLEY WAS KILLED LAST WEEK.

SHE WAS RIDING THE CARRIER OF HER MOTHER'S BIKE A ComEd TRUCK WAS ILLEGALLY BLOCKING THE BIKE LANE FORCING THE MOM TO MOVE INTO TRAFFIC, A TRUCK PULLED UP BESIDE HER.

LILLEY WAS THROWN FROM THE BIKE AND DRAGGED BY THE TRUCK.

>> WHAT CHANGES ARE ADVOCATES CALLING FOR?

>> THEY WANT TO SEE IMPROVEMENTS TO THE NETWORK OF BIKE LANES CALLING THEM DISJOINTED.

THAT IS WORK THAT THE CITY SAYS IT'S BEEN DOING.

ONE OTHER MAJOR FOCUS IS ON GETTING PROTECTED BIKE LANES RATHER THAN LANES PAINTED ON THE ROADWAY THAT DON'T OFFER PHYSICAL PROTECTION.

AND CALLING FOR A SHIFT IN CULTURE TO GET DRIVERS TO STOP SPEEDING AND BEHAVE MORE CAREFULLY AROUND CYCLISTS AND PEDESTRIANS.

AND KEEP LARGE TRUCKS OFF OF NEIGHBORHOOD STREETS AS WELL AS PUT SIDE GUARDS ON THE TRUCKS TO PREVENT THE FATAL CRASH.

>> AND THERE'S BEEN TENSION, WHAT IS THE MOOD BEEN LIKE IN RECENT DAYS?

>> YOU ARE RIGHT.

IT IS A COMBINATION OF THINGS.

SPEAKER AT YESTERDAY'S RALLY SAID THIS MOMENT FEELS DIFFERENT TO THEM.

THERE'S MOMENTUM TO MAKE PROGRESS ON IMPROVING ROADWAY SAFETY.

AND OBVIOUSLY IT WAS AN EMOTIONAL GATHERING AS WELL.

BECAUSE OF THE YOUNG LIVES LOST.

AND THERE'S PLENTY OF ANGER, TOO.

ADVOCATES SAY POLICE TEND TO TAKE DRIVERS AT THEIR WORD AND BLAME THE CYCLISTS IN THE NARRATIVES AROUND THESE CRASHES.

THEY SAY DRIVERS ILLEGALLY STOPPING OR PARKING IN BIKE LANES IS A WE HAD SPREAD AND UNDER ENFORCED PROBLEM IN CHICAGO.

ACCORDING TO DATA, POLICE AND PARKING GAVE OUT 4500 CITATIONS FOR BLOCKING A BIKE LANE IN 2019.

ABOUT 2700 IN 2020.

3600 IN 2021.

AND NEARLY 700 AS OF EARLIER THIS YEAR AND MANY SAY THAT SCRATCHES THE SURFACE OF WHAT ENFORCEMENT COULD BE.

THE GROUP BIKE LANE UPRISING DATA OF USER SUBMITTED OBSTRUCTIONS RECEIVED 25,000 COMPLAINTS ABOUT BLOCKED BIKE LANES COMPARED TO THE 11570 CITATIONS ISSUED BY THE CITY.

THAT DATABASE HAS 2,000 COMPLAINTS ABOUT POLICE AND MUNICIPAL VEHICLES ILLEGALLY BLOCKING BIKE LANES.

POLICE ARE ONE OF THE WORST OFFENDERS.

THE DEPARTMENT DID NOT RESPOND TO A REQUEST FOR COMMENT ABOUT THAT OR ABOUT THAT SO-CALLED VICTIM BLAMING OF CYCLISTS.

>> AND CALL FOR CHANGING THE CULTURE ON THE ROADS.

WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE?

>> PART IS INFRASTRUCTURE.

NARROWING LANES TO FORCE DRIVERS TO MOVE SLOWLY, ADDING BUMP OUTS TO INTERSECTIONS.

CYCLISTS SAYING DRIVER AGGRESSION HAS GOTTEN BAD.

SOMETIMES IT THE STORIES DRIVERS RESPOND IN THE COMMENTS SECTIONS OR TWITTER, WHEN THERE IS A BIKE CRASH, COMMENTING ABOUT POOR PSYCH KETTISTS -- CYCLISTS BEHAVIOR.

MOST PEOPLE ON BIKES ARE BEHAVING RESPONSIBLY AND IT IS NOT AN APPLES TO APPLES COMPARISON GIVEN HOW DEADLY A CAR IS.

>> AND ESPECIALLY DEADLY IN THE LAST MONTH.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

>> THANK YOU.

>> AND AS NICK SAID 15 PEDESTRIANS AND FOUR BIKERS HAVE BEEN KILLED IN CHICAGO THIS YEAR.

ADVOCATES ARE CALLING ON THE CITY TO MAKE CHANGES SO THAT THE INFRASTRUCTURE TO THE STREETS IS SAFER.

AND JOINING US TO SPEAK ON WHAT SAFER STREETS LOOK LIKE ARE REBECCA RESMAN, FOUNDER AND ONE OF THE LEAD ORGANIZERS FOR CHICAGO FAMILY BIKING.

AND AMY RYNELL, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION ALLIANCE.

WELCOME BOTH OF TO YOU "CHICAGO TONIGHT."

I WANT TO START OFF WITH THE INCIDENT THAT TOOK THE LIFE OF A 75-YEAR-OLD MAN.

DO EITHER OF YOU KNOW THE SPECIFICS OF WHAT HAPPENED ON IRVING PARK?

>> ROADS LIKE IRVING PARK.

NATIONAL DATA TELLS US THAT 97% OF U.S.

STREETS ON WHICH PEDESTRIANS ARE STRUCK AND KILLED WITH THREE OR MORE LANES.

THE SECTION OF IRVING PARK WHERE THIS MAN WAS KILLED WAS RECONSTRUCTED LAST YEAR AND IT IS STILL A FIVE-LANE SPEEDWAY.

WE'VE CALLED FOR WAYS TO IMPROVE IRVING PARK AND SAFE PEDESTRIAN CROSSINGS BOTH OF WHICH SLOW VEHICLES AND GIVE PEOPLE ALTERNATIVES TO DRIVING AND HERE WE ARE TODAY DISCUSSING THIS TRAGEDY.

>> AND REBECCA RESMAN, WE'VE HAD SEVERAL TRAGEDIES THIS YEAR.

15 BIKERS, FOUR PEDESTRIANS KILLED.

HOW DOES THIS COMPARE TO RECENT YEARS?

>> YOU KNOW, I CAN'T SPEAK TO THE DATA AS WELL AS AMY CAN.

BUT I WOULD SAY THAT IT'S COMPARABLE IT'S NOT GETTING BETTER.

AND WE MUST DO BETTERMENT I WANT TO MENTION THAT A LOT OF THE BIG STREETS THAT AMY MENTIONED WHERE WE SEE THE TRAFFIC FATALITIES ARE UNDER THE JURISDICTION OF THE ILLINOIS DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION WHICH WE SEEM TO STRUGGLE TO MEANINGFULLY GET TO COMMIT TO COMPLETE STREETS PROJECTS THAT INSURE THAT PEDESTRIANS AND PEOPLE BIKING ARE SAFE ON THEIR ROADS.

>> AND AMY, YOU HEARD THAT STATISTIC FROM NICK BLUMBERG THAT ONLY ABOUT HALF OF THE CITATIONS ARE GIVEN TO FOLKS BLOCKING BIKE LANES THAN COMPLAINTS CALLED IN FOR THOSE INCIDENTS.

WHY DO YOU THINK THAT HAPPENS?

AND HOW COME THE CITATIONS ARE WAY DOWN THIS YEAR?

>> THAT IS A GOOD QUESTION.

I DON'T HAVE ALL THE ANSWERS.

BUT I WILL SAY ONE OF THE REASONS WE ARE FIGHTING SO HARD FOR CONCRETE BIKE LANES IS SO THAT VEHICLES CAN'T PARK IN THEM AND SO THAT PEOPLE WALKING AND BIKING ARE NOT SHARING SPACE WITH MANY-TON HIGH SPEED VEHICLES THAT CAN INJURY OR KILL YOU INSTANTLY.

SO PROTECTING THOSE BIKE LANES IN A WAY THAT IS MUCH MORE SUBSTANTIAL THAN WE'VE DONE TO DATE.

MOST OF OUR BIKE LANES ARE PAINT.

SOME OF THEM HAVE PLASTIC BALLARDS THAT ARE MUCH MORE DESIGNED TO NOT DAMAGE A CAR THAN TO KEEP A PERSON SAFE.

WE NEED TO LOOK AT WHAT WE BUILD AND MAKE IT SO MUCH SAFER.

WE CAN DO HIGH QUALITY PROJECTS.

WE HAVE A NUMBER OF THEM IN THE CITY.

THE CITY KNOWS HOW TO DO IT.

WE JUST NEED TO DO IT FASTER AND BETTER.

>> REBECCA RESMAN -- GO AHEAD.

>> I WAS GOING TO ECHO WHAT AMY IS SAYING I AGREE COMPLETELY.

IF YOU WANT PROOF THAT THE BALLARDS OR THE SIGNS DON'T WORK, JUST LOOK AT THE STOP FOR PEDESTRIAN SIGNS THAT THE CITY PUT IN THE STREETS AT CROSSWALKS THAT ARE UNCONTROLLED AND GENERALLY THEY ARE DESTROYED.

PEOPLE DRIVING ARE DRIVING IN A WAY WHERE THEY ARE HITTING THE SIGNS SO THEY ARE INEFFECTIVE AND THAT SHOWS HOW WE NEED CONCRETE.

WE NEED MORE PROTECTION AND WE NEED TO SLOW DRIVERS DOWN AND MAKE THEM PAY ATTENTION TO WHERE THEY ARE OPERATING THEIR VEHICLES AND HOW THEY ARE OPERATING THEIR VEHICLES.

>> AMY, I REMEMBER RAHM EMANUEL TALKING ABOUT HOW MANY MILES OF PROTECTED BIKE LANES THE CITY PUT IN.

HOW AMENABLE IS THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION TO CONCRETE PROTECTED BIKE LANES IN MORE AREAS?

>> THEY HAVE BEEN RAMPING UP BUILDING OUT THE BIKE INFRASTRUCTURE.

BUT IF YOU LOOK AT THE SCALE OF OUR STREETS 4,000 MILES OF STREETS WE HAVE 1% OF THOSE THAT IS A PROTECTED BIKE LANE AND MOST OF THAT 1% IS POORLY PROTECTED.

WE HAVE SO MUCH TO DO.

SO WHEN I SAY THAT OUR PACE NEEDS TO SPEED UP, DRAMATICALLY THE PACE AND VOLUME OF BUILDING THE INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDS TO GROW EXPONENTIALLY.

AND ORETHA MILLER THINGS WE NEED TO DO TO SLOW CARS AND TRUCKS DOWN AND LOWER THE VOLUME ESPECIALLY IN NEIGHBORHOOD STREETS WHERE YOU WERE AT THE RALLY, NICK, IT IS NOT A STREET FOR TRUCKS.

AND IT'S NOT A STREET FOR HIGH SPEEDS.

AND WE CAN DESIGN STREETS THAT SLOW THE CARS DOWN AND WE HAVE NOT DONE ENOUGH OF THAT.

>> AND REBECCA RESMAN THERE'S BEEN PUSHBACK TO PLANS FOR MORE PROTECTED BIKE LANES.

I WAS READING AN ALDERMAN SAYING THAT MAKING THOSE CHANGES TO LELAND AVENUE WHERE THAT INCIDENT HAPPENED IS NOT ON HIS RADAR.

WHY DO YOU THINK THERE'S PUSHBACK?

>> I THINK THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT PRIORITIZE PARKING AND THEIR OWN AGENDAS OVER THE SAFE STREETS INITIATIVES.

AND THEY GET LOUD.

AND THEY GET THE EAR OF ALDERMEN AND THAT'S PART OF WHAT OUR GROUP IS TRYING TO DO.

IS ENCOURAGE PEOPLE THAT HEAR ABOUT THESE PROJECTS THAT WOULD BE IMPACTED BY THESE PROJECTS, TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY SHOUT YES WE WANT THESE HERE.

BECAUSE IF THEY DON'T SHOUT YES, THEY'RE SAYING NO.

AND I UNFORTUNATELY BELIEVE A LOT OF ALDERMEN AND OTHER PEOPLE IN POWER, I THINK THEY JUST LISTEN TO A SMALL BUT LOUD ANTI-BIKE AND ANTI-PROGRESS GROUP.

>> ALL RIGHT.

WE HAVE TO LEAVE IT THERE.

THANKS TO REBECCA RESMAN AND AMY RYNELL THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.

>> THANK YOU.

>> AND UP NEXT, NEW LAWS AIMED AT INCREASING WATER SAFETY.

THAT IS IN A CONVERSATION THAT AIRED ON COMMITTEE COMMITTEE LATINO VOICES WITH MARISSA PARRA.

FIRST, WE TAKE A LOOK AT THE WEATHER.

A NEWLY SIGNED STATE LAW WILL REQUIRE WATER RESCUE EQUIPMENT ALONG LAKE MICHIGAN IN ILLINOIS.

THAT MEANS LIFE RINGS AT PIERS AND WARNING SIGNS IN MORE DANGEROUS AREAS.

THE LAW IS THE CULMINATION OF AN EFFORT ONE THAT CAME TO A HEAD OF THE DROWNING DEATH OF 19-YEAR-OLD MIGUEL CISNEROS IN THE PEER IN ROGERS PARK.

THE PARK DISTRICT BEGAN PUTTING THE LIFE RINGS AND ONCE THE LAW GOES INTO EFFECT NEXT YEAR THAT EQUIPMENT WILL BE REQUIRED ANYWHERE PEOPLE CAN ENTER THE LAKE.

AND IT TOOK A LOT OF HANDS TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN.

JOINING US WITH MORE.

MIGUEL CISNEROS' MOTHER MARIA DIAZ, WATER SAFETY ADVOCATE, HALLIE QUEZADA RASMUSSEN AND 49TH WARD ALDERMAN MARIA HADDEN WHOSE WARDS INCLUDES TWO MILES OF LAKEFRONT.

I WANT TO GO TO YOU FIRST.

WE HAVE SPOKEN AT LENGTH.

OBVIOUSLY WHEN IT COMES TO YOUR REACTION LEARNING ABOUT THE LAKE MICHIGAN RESCUE EQUIPMENT ACT IT'S PROBABLY GOING TO BE NUANCED TO THE FACT THAT YOU A HEAVY LOSS IN YOUR FAMILY AND SEEING SOMETHING COME OF IT.

HOW ARE YOU FEELING RIGHT NOW?

>> WELL, I MUST SAY AFTER THE LAW PASSED, I FELT GOOD AND THEN WHEN WE FOUND OUT THAT IT HAD ACTUALLY PUT TO USE THIS WEEK WHEN A PERSON WAS SAVED ON NORTH AVENUE BEACH, THAT MADE MY DAY HAPPIER.

I KNOW MY KID'S LEGACY IS BEING CARRIED OUT.

>> JUST KNOWING THAT HE HAD A ROLE IN MAKING THIS HAPPEN AT LEAST BRINGS A LITTLE BIT OF PEACE.

HALLIE QUEZADA RASMUSSEN, WE'VE BEEN TALKING AT LENGTH YOU HAVE BEEN AN ADVOCATE FOR LIFE RINGS AT BEACHES SINCE 2018.

CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO TAKE ON THIS FIGHT?

I KNOW IT IS A TRAUMATIC MOMENT FOR YOU?

>> IT WAS AWFUL.

WE WERE ON THE BEACH WHEN TWO 13-YEAR-OLDS WERE STRUGGLING IN THE WATER AND WE WERE ABLE TO SAVE ONE.

AND THOSE MOMENTS WHEN SHE HAD SUBMERGED AND WE WERE FRANTICALLY SEARCHING FOR ANYTHING THAT FLOATED.

WE HAD TWO TRAINED RESCUE DIVERS ON SCENE.

BOTH HAD ENOUGH TRAINING TO NOT GO IN WITHOUT EQUIPMENT KNOWING WHAT THE CURRENTS WERE AT THAT PLACE.

AND IT TOOK 30 MINUTES FOR SOMETHING THAT FLOATS TO GET THERE AFTER WE CALLED 9-1-1.

SO THE URGENCY FOR THIS WAS REALLY REAL AND WE ARE GRATEFUL TO FINALLY SEE THE LIFE RINGS THERE.

>> ALDERWOMAN HADDEN, AS THE ALDERWOMAN OF A LAKEFRONT WARD, I'M CURIOUS WHAT RESPONSIBILITY YOU THINK THAT THE CITY AND THE STATE HAS IN REALLY HAVING A ROLE IN PREVENTING DROWNING INCIDENTS ALONG THE LAKE TO BEGIN WITH?

>> IT'S BEEN IN THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS, MYSELF AND OUR STATE REPRESENTATIVES HAVE USED OUR LEGISLATIVE RESPONSIBILITIES AND ROLES AS ADVOCATES PARTICULARLY AS AN ALDERPERSON NOT HAVING DIRECT OVERSIGHT OR CONTROL OVER THE PARK DISTRICT AS A SEPARATE AGENCY THAT ROLE HAS BEEN MOST USEFUL AND BEEN A VOCAL ADVOCATE FOR COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND PUSHING FOR HEARINGS THROUGH OUR LEGISLATIVE BODY TO ADD PRESSURE.

AND SO IT'S BEEN SOMETIMES CHALLENGING TO NOT BE ABLE TO CHANGE THE RULES YOURSELF OR MAKE PEOPLE TAKE THE IMMEDIATE ACTIONS THAT YOU KNOW ARE RIGHT.

BUT IT'S BEEN A REAL HONOR TO BE ABLE TO ADVOCATE FOR RESIDENTS IN OUR COMMUNITY MORE BROADLY ON THIS ISSUE AND TO SEE US GET THIS WIN.

>> WELL, I KNOW THAT IT WAS DEFINITELY A LONG BATTLE WITH THE CHICAGO PARK DISTRICT SOMETHING WE SAW PLAY OUT OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS.

MARIA DIAZ TO YOU NOW.

ONE, I KNOW THAT EARLIER THIS WEEK THERE WAS A WATER RESCUE USING A LIFE RING.

I'M CURIOUS WHAT YOUR REACTION WAS TO THAT?

AND WHAT DO YOU THINK THE CITY CAN BE DOING BEYOND WHAT THEY'VE DONE?

>> WHEN I HEARD THIS WEEK I WAS VERY HAPPY.

IT WAS A BITTERSWEET BECAUSE I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT BRING MIKEKY BACK AND THERE WERE TALKS WITH THE PARK DISTRICT ABOUT INSTALLING LIFE RINGS AND THE IDEA GOT PUSHED AWAY AS NOT NEEDED.

EARLIER IN THE SUMMER IF THEY HAD BEEN INSTALLED MY SON WOULD BE HERE.

AS FAR AS WHAT IS NEEDED THIS IS JUST A FIRST STEP BUT THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS WE CAN DO TO PREVENT DROWNINGS WHICH ARE SOMETHING THAT IS EASY TO DO.

I WILL START MAYBE WITH EDUCATION IN OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

TEACHING KIDS HOW TO SURVIVE OR GAIN EXTRA TIME IN THE WATER WHICH I, MYSELF, WAS NOT AWARE OF.

I'M 42.

AND FLOAT, FOLLOW.

I THINK EDUCATION IS A MUST AS WELL.

>> OK. HALLIE QUEZADA RASMUSSEN TO YOU NOW YOU ARE A C.P.S.

TEACHER.

I KNOW THAT THE CITY DOES OFFER WATER SAFETY TRAINING.

DO YOU THINK THAT WATER SAFETY EDUCATION BELONGS IN CITY CLASSROOMS?

>> ABSOLUTELY.

THE KEY TO DROWNING PREVENTION IS LAYERS OF PROTECTION.

AND THE LIFE RINGS ARE AN IMPORTANT STEP THAT IS RESCUE EQUIPMENT AND THE OTHER LAYER IS THAT PREVENTION PIECE.

A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE THE MISCONCEPTION THAT WATER SAFETY IS COMMON SENSE IT IS A LAKE HOW BAD CAN IT BE?

THERE ARE SURVIVAL TRAGEDIES THAT WE AS A COMMUNITY DON'T KNOW.

AND THE KEY TO TEACH PEOPLE IS REALLY A CAPTIVE AUDIENCE.

IF YOU THINK YOU ALREADY KNOW YOU ARE NOT GOING TO SIGN UP.

CAPTIVE AUDIENCES WE FIND AT SCHOOLS, CAMPS, AND WE ACTUALLY DO HAVE A SPONSOR IN THE HOUSE AND THE SENATE FOR ANOTHER BILL THAT WOULD ADD WATER SAFETY EDUCATION TO AN EXISTING SAFETY EDUCATION LAW.

SO DROWNING ACTUALLY TAKES MORE LIVES OF SCHOOL AGED CHILDREN THAN TORNADOES, FIRES, EARTHQUAKES AND ACTIVE SHOOTERS COMBINED.

YET WE TEACH CHILDREN HOW TO PROTECT THEMSELVES AGAINST ALL OF THOSE THREATS IN SCHOOLS BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY LAW.

SO THE BILL WE HOPE TO GET IN NEXT SESSION WOULD ADD WATER SAFETY TO THE LIST.

>> THAT FIGHT IS FAR FROM OVER AND THIS IS SOMETHING THAT FEELS LIKE YOU'VE TAKEN ON AS A SECOND JOB.

FOR THOSE WATCHING, WHAT WOULD BE THE NUMBER ONE THING THAT YOU WANT PEOPLE TO LEARN WHEN IT COMES TO WATER SAFETY TRAINING?

>> YEAH.

YOU KNOW, NO MATTER WHAT BODY OF WATER YOU ARE IN, BEING ABLE TO FLIP ON YOUR BACK AND FLOAT WILL BUY YOU TIME.

IT CAN HELP YOU CONTROL THE PANIC AND PANIC KILLS.

IT KEEP YOUR HEAD ABOVE WATER SO YOU CAN BREATHE.

IF YOU ARE LOOKING TO PROTECT YOU AND YOUR FAMILY RIGHT NOW, TOP PRIORITY WOULD BE TEACHING AND PRACTICING THAT FLIP AND FLOAT.

>> ESCAPING YOUR DROWNING EMERGENCY CAN HAPPEN LATER YOU HAVE TO FLOAT FIRST AND CONTROL YOUR PANIC.

>> AND SOMETHING ELSE IS BEING ABLE TO SPOT RIPTIDES AS WELL.

ALDERWOMAN HADDEN TO YOU THE ACQUIRES THE NEW LAW REQUIRES CLEAR SIGNAGE AT HIGH INCIDENT AREAS.

DO YOU THINK SIGNAGE IS EFFECTIVE IN KEEPING PEOPLE OUT OF THE DANGEROUS AREAS ALONG THE LAKE?

>> I THINK IT'S EFFECTIVE AT HELPING PEOPLE TO BE ABLE TO BETTER CALCULATE THEIR RISKS.

YOU KNOW, LIKE HALLIE QUEZADA RASMUSSEN SAID AND AS WE'VE SEEN TOO MANY TIMES, BOTH IN THE CASE OF MIGUEL'S TRAGEDY AND OTHER RESIDENTS ESPECIALLY AT THAT PIER IS A GREAT EXAMPLE OF A HIGH-RISK AREA.

YOU CAN GO OUT THERE ON A DAY LIKE COUPLE DAYS AGO I WAS THERE AND IT DOESN'T FEEL HIGH-RISK.

IT DOESN'T LOOK HIGH-RISK.

SO THE SIGNAGE IS SO IMPORTANT BECAUSE WE MAKE BETTER DECISIONS WHEN WE HAVE MORE INFORMATION.

AND THAT IS AN EASY THING THAT WE CAN DO IS TELL PEOPLE WHAT THE RISKS ARE AS WE WORK ON THE APPROACH, HELP THEM BE SAFER AND MAKE BETTER DECISIONS.

THIS IS A MULTIPERSON EFFORT AND ALL OF YOU HAD A HAND IN MAKING THIS HAPPEN.

THANK YOU FOR JOINING US THANK YOU TO MARIA DIAZ, HALLIE QUEZADA RASMUSSEN AND ALDERWOMAN HADDEN.

>> BACK WITH MORE "CHICAGO TONIGHT" RIGHT AFTER THIS.

>> JIM RYAN SERVED AS ILLINOIS ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR EIGHT YEARS STARTING IN 1995.

HE TWICE RAN UNSUCCESSFULLY FOR ILLINOIS GOVERNOR.

RYAN DIED SUNDAY AFTER WHAT HIS FAMILY SAID WERE SEVERAL ILLNESSES.

BACK DURING THE 2002 CAMPAIGN FOR GOVERNOR RYAN APPEARED IN A WTTW FORUM WITH HIS OPPONENT ROD BLAGOJEVICH.

WHEN ROD BLAGOJEVICH TRIED TO TIE JIM RYAN TO A SCANDAL IN GEORGE RYAN'S SECRETARY OF STATE'S OFFICE.

RYAN GAVE THIS FIERY DEFENSE.

>> HAVE YOU NO SHAME?

ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT THE WILLIS CHILDREN?

HAVE YOU NO SHAME?

>> JERRY SPRINGER SHOW.

NO, YOU ARE NOT GOING TO SAY THAT.

I WILL NOT LET YOU GET AWAY WITH THAT.

NO, I'M NOT.

THAT IS AN ABSOLUTE SHAMEFUL THING TO SAY.

>> DIDN'T LIFT A FINGER TO INVESTIGATE THE BIGGEST SCANDAL IN ILLINOIS HISTORY.

>> THAT WAS A FEDERAL PROBE FROM THE BEGINNING.

EVERY U.S. ATTORNEY SAID IT.

AND NO MATTER WHAT THEY TELL YOU I WILL NOT LET YOU GET AWAY WITH THAT.

>> I THINK IT'S FAILED LEADERSHIP.

>> GENTLEMEN.

GENTLEMEN.

>> TRY GOING TO WORK, ROD.

>> NOT NOW, NOT NEVER NOT FOR YOU AND NOT FOR HIM.

>> THE U.S. ATTORNEY WAS ON OUR PROGRAM AND HE SAID Mr. BLAGOJEVICH WHAT Mr. RYAN DID IN NOT PURSUING AN INVESTIGATION WAS COMPLETELY THE RIGHT THING TO DO.

>> JIM RYAN MAC BACK IN 2002.

HE TOOK PRIDE IN WHAT HE CALLED PROFESSIONALIZING THE ILLINOIS ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE AND WAS ONES STUBBED THE MOST EFFECTIVE ATTORNEY GENERAL IN ILLINOIS HISTORY.

HE ENTERED HIS SHARE OF PERSON TRAGEDIES INCLUDING THE DEATHS OF TWO OF HIS SIX CHILDREN HIS OWN HEALTH BATTLES INCLUDING GETTING CANCER THREE TIMES AND COMING BACK FROM HEART SURGERY.
