>>> HI AND THANKS FOR JOINING US ON "CHICACO TONIGHT.".

I'M BRANDIS FRIEDMAN.

>> I'M PARIS SCHUTZ.

THE FDA APPROVED AN OVER-THE-COUNTER OVERDOSE REVERSING DRUG.

>>> ACTUALLY , HE'S ONLY BEEN A TEACHER FOUR YEARS.

>> TEMPERS FLARE IN THE RACE FOR MAYOR.

COUNTING DOWN TO ELECTION DAY.

>>> YOU PROBABLY NOTICED THE SOUNDS OF YOUR MORNING COMMUTE.

HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT ABOUT THEM AS ART?

>> THAT IS LET'S FACE TOP STORIES.

CHICAGO'S ROMAN CATHOLIC LEADERS OFFERING PRAYERS TO POPE FRANCES.

ASKING FOR PRAYERS FOR THE AILING WORLDWIDE LEADER OF THE SEARCH.

HE WAS HOSPITALIZED TODAY IN ROME FOR SYMPTOMS RELATED TO AN RESPIRATORY INFECTION.

THE VATICAN SAYS HE DOES NOT HAVE COVID-19 AND IS EXPECTED TO BE IN THE HOSPITAL FOR A FEW DAYS.

>>> THE FUTURE OF THE FORMER MICHAEL REESE HOSPITAL SITE IS FINALLY BEING CLEARED.

CITY LEADERS BROKE DOWN ON THE $3.8 BILLION MIXED-USE FACILITY.

>> NEW, WALKABLE, VIBRANT PLACES.

SIDEWALKS, BIKE LANES.

WHEN YOU CONNECT THE DOT IN THE COMMUNITY BETWEEN HOUSING AND STREETS THAT YOU NEED IS WHAT STITCHES IT TOGETHER.

>> THE CITY SOLD A 48 -ACRE LOT TO DEVELOP UP TO 7 MILLION SQUARE FEET MIXED INCOME RESIDENCES, NEW ROADWAYS, AND PARKS.

OVER 5000 RESIDENTIAL UNITS, 20% OF WHICH WOULD BE AFFORDABLE HOUSING , PLUS REHABILITATION OF THE PAVILION , RETAIL AND OFFICE SPACE AND A 40,000 SQUARE FOOT COMMUNITY CENTER.

THE PROJECT WILL COME ONLINE IN PHASES IN 2035.

-- 2025.

>>> THE WEATHER IS A COMPLETE TOSS-UP.

THAT MEANS OPENING DAY IS AT HAND.

IN FACT, IT IS TOMORROW.

THE DENIZENS ESTABLISHMENTS PREPARING.

1:20 PM TO TAKE ON THE WARM WALKIE BREWERS.

A CLEAR DAY AND A HIGH OF 50.

NOT BAD IS OPENING DAYS GO.

THE SOX PLAY AT 6:00 TOMORROW EVENING AGAINST THE ASTROS.

>>> CHICAGO FOOD LOVERS UP FOR A JAMES BEARD AWARD.

THE FOUNDATION ANNOUNCED THE FINALISTS TODAY .

AMONG CHICAGO'S CONTENDERS ARE A FRENCH RESTAURANT, DAMAR BROWN OF VIRTUE FOR BEST CHEF AND OUTSTANDING HOSPITALITY.

IN A BIT OF AN UPSET, ONLY TWO ARE UP FOR BEST CHEF GREAT LAKES.

IN YEARS PAST , ALL FIVE FINALISTS WERE CHICAGOANS.

THE BEARD AWARDS WILL BE PRESENTED IN JUNE AT THE OPERA HOUSE.

>> THEY ARE GAINING ON US.

DON'T WORRY, CHICAGOANS.

>> I HAVE TO TRY THOSE.

>>> COMING UP IN THE PROGRAM, WHAT LOCAL BUSINESS LEADERS ARE SEARCHING FOR THE NEXT MAYOR.

>>> THE FIRST, OVER-THE-COUNTE R MEDICATION FOR OPIOID OVERDOSE.

>>> ALEXANDER AND JOHN NICHOLS.

THE GYM A PREY -- GYM AND KAY.

>>> THE ANTI-OVERDOSE DRUG NARCAN WILL SOON BE AVAILABLE OVER-THE-COUNTER THANKS TO THE FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION'S APPROVAL.

THIS MEANS PEOPLE THAT ARE TAKING OPIOIDS AND LIKELY TO OVERDOSE WILL HAVE A MUCH EASIER TIME GETTING THEIR HANDS ON A DRUG THAT CAN STOP IT FROM JOINING US IS ERIC McINTOSH, NURSE PRACTITIONER WHO ALSO WORKS WITH THE HEROINE WESTSIDE TASK FORCE.

WHAT IS THE ULTIMATE IMPACT OF THIS OVER-THE-COUNTER DESIGNATION?

>> SURE.

I THINK FIRST AND FOREMOST, IT'S GOING TO PROVIDE ACCESS.

AT LEAST SINCE 2022 , NARCAN HAS BEEN AVAILABLE WITHOUT A PRESCRIPTION .

BUT A LOT OF STATES HAVE HAD REGULATIONS AND RULES PUT IN PLACE THEY REALLY HAMSTRINGS A PERSON FROM BEING ABLE TO ACCESS NARCAN .

IT WAS BEHIND THE COUNTER , SO YOU HAD TO GO TO A PHARMACIST TO ASK FOR IT.

MANY OF THE STATES REQUIRED ADDITIONAL EDUCATION FOR PHARMACISTS TO BE ABLE TO HAND IT OUT TO PEOPLE.

NOW THAT IT'S OVER THE COUNTER , AS YOU SAID, IT IS GOING TO BE IN THE GENERAL AREA, ACCESSIBLE BY ALL.

THAT IS THE BIGGEST THING.

>> AND OF COURSE, PEOPLE STRUGGLING WITH OPIOID ADDICTION, SOMETIMES THEY DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO A LOT OF MONEY.

WE KNOW THE PRICE POINT WHERE IT WILL BE AVAILABLE?

>> UNFORTUNATELY NOT RIGHT NOW.

WE WILL SEE AS HE GETS ROLLED OUT.

I THINK THE BIGGEST HURDLE WE HAVE GONE THROUGH SO FAR IS GETTING IT OUT THERE INTO THE GENERAL PUBLIC.

THAT WILL BE AFFORDABILITY.

>> ONLY OTHER SIDE, YOU MAY SAY THE WIDESPREAD AVAILABILITY COULD PROHIBIT PEOPLE STRATEGIES TO TRY TO GET OFF OPIOIDS, THAT NARCAN -- WHAT IS YOUR RESPONSE TO THAT?

>> THIS IS PART OF THE RISK CRIME REDUCTION MODEL.

NARCAN IS THE TOOL THAT REALLY ISN'T -- I WON'T SAY NECESSARILY USED BY PEOPLE WHO HAVE OPIOID DEPENDENCE, BUT REALLY A TOOL FOR LOVED ONES , TO GIVE THEM THE POWER AND THE ABILITY TO SAVE A LOVED ONE WHO HAS OPIOID ADDICTION AFTER OVERDOSING.

THAT'S REALLY -- >> IT IS A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH.

YOU HAVE PERSONAL EXPERIENCE.

ON THE BLUE LINE , AN OVERDOSE WAS HAPPENING AND YOU HAD TO STEP IN.

>> I TAKE THE BLUE LINE EVERY DAY INTO WORK.

THAT HAS BECOME MY EXTENDED COMMUNITY.

A WOMAN I HAD RECOGNIZED FOR SEVERAL YEARS ON THE BLUE LINE, SHE HAD OVERDOSED.

WE STOPPED THE TRAIN.

I CALLED OUT IF ANYONE HAD NARCAN.

NO ONE DID.

I ASKED THE CT A OPERATOR, DID SHE HAVE NARCAN?

10 MINUTES WENT BY .

THIS WOMAN'S HEART RATE WENT DOWN.

HER CONSCIOUSNESS WENT DOWN.

IF I HAD NARCAN READILY AVAILABLE, SHE WOULDN'T HAVE COME SO CLOSE TO BEING SO ILL. >> SO SHE DID SURVIVE YOU ARE SAYING?

>> I HAVEN'T SEEN HER SINCE.

>> SORT OF ILLUSTRATES THE LIFE-AND-DEATH PERFORMANCE.

ERIC McINTOSH, THANK YOU.

>>> UP NEXT, WHAT LOCAL BUSINESS LEADERS EXPECT TO SEE FROM THEIR MAYOR.

STAY WITH US.

>>> CHICAGO BUSINESS COMMUNITY HAS BEEN BATTERED OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS FROM COVID TO HIGH LOOP VACANCY RATES.

PAUL VALLAS AND BRANDON JOHNSON SAYS THAT WEIGHS HEAVILY ON THE FUTURE.

>> JUST DOWNTOWN MICHIGAN AVENUE AND COMMERCIAL CORRIDORS ON THE SOUTH SIDE AND ON THE WEST SIDE.

FIRST OF ALL, PUBLIC SAFETY.

RIGHT NOW, WHEN I TALK TO BUSINESS GROUPS AND BUSINESS ASSOCIATIONS, PUBLIC SAFETY IS A DOMINANT ISSUE.

>> IT'S NOT A ONE-TRICK PONY.

YOU HAVE TO CREATE A SAFE ENVIRONMENT TO DO BUSINESS IN THE CITY OF CHICAGO.

YOU ALSO HAVE TO INCENTIVIZE THE TYPES OF BUSINESSES THAT HAVE NOT HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO BE HERE.

>> JOINING US TO GIVE US THE VIEW FROM THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY ARE PRESIDENT AND CEO OF THE CHICAGOLAND CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.

FELICIA FROM THE GREATER INGLEWOOD CHAMBER OF CONGRESS.

COMMERCE.

AND THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR .

WE WELCOME YOU IN PERSON.

FELICIA SLAYTON YOUNG , IS PUBLIC SAFETY INTERTWINED?

WHAT ARE THE PUBLIC SAFETY POLICIES THAT HAS TO BE PURSUED TO MAKE THE BUSINESS CLIMATE BETTER?

>> THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS THAT MAKE ABOUT.

I'M GOING TO START FIRST WITH THE ISSUE OF PEOPLE MAKING SURE THEY HAVE SAFE SPACES TO BE.

A PLACE EXCLUSIVELY FOR TEENS.

WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT.

IT'S NOT ENOUGH TO JUST TRAIN PEOPLE.

FINDING JOBS THAT ARE MEANINGFUL THAT PAYS A THRIVING WAGE.

AND I THINK WE NEED TO FIGURE OUT, HOW DO WE BRING COMMUNITIES , WITH THE POLICE , AND A UNIFORM WAY OF MAKING SURE THAT THERE ARE SOME EQUITY IN HOW WE LOOK AT WHAT WE WANT TO SEE IN THE COMMUNITY FOR OUR KIDS, OUR BUSINESSES .

AS LONG AS SAFETY WILL CONTINUE TO PREVAIL , IT MAKES IT HARD TO ATTRACT .

>> THAT IS WHERE WE HAVE CONSENT.

JACK, LET'S TALK ABOUT THE LOOP DOWNTOWN, MAGNIFICENT MILE.

VACANCY RATES HAVE BEEN HOVERING NEAR 20 AND 25%.

WHAT SPECIFIC POLICIES NEED TO BE ENACTED TO DRIVE IT DOWN?

>> THE FIRST THING IS TO MAKE SURE CTA IS SAFE.

A LOT OF PEOPLE COMING DOWNTOWN ARE TAKING THE CTA.

WE'VE GOT TO GET PEOPLE BACK IN THE OFFICE.

THE CTA IS NOT SAFE.

>> AND NOT RELIABLE RIGHT NOW.

>> NOT RELIABLE.

TALK ABOUT PUBLIC SAFETY WOULD ALSO TAXES.

WE HAVE HAD SKYROCKETING PROPERTY TAXES.

ONE OF THE CANDIDATES OPPOSING A LOT OF NEW TAXES, U.S. COMPANIES AND AS YOU SAID, VACANCY RATES ARE HIGH.

THEY ARE COMING OUT OF THE PANDEMIC, THE LINGERING EFFECTS OF THAT.

SKYROCKETING PROPERTY TAXES.

WE CAN'T AFFORD MORE TAXES.

WE HAVE TO ADDRESS PUBLIC SAFETY SO BUSINESSES CAN GET THE PEOPLE BACK TO WORK AND GET THE ECONOMY ROLLING AGAIN AND GET MORE JOBS.

BOTTOM LINE, FUNDS THE POLICE .

HELP THE MAG MILE.

HOTEL TAX.

TOURISM IS A HUGE PART OF OUR ECONOMY.

IF WE RAISE HOTEL TAX, WE ARE ALREADY ONE OF THE HIGHEST IN THE COUNTRY.

CONVENTIONS THAT WANT TO COME.

>> AND YOUR GROUP HAS ENDORSED PAUL VALLAS.

BRANDON JOHNSON HAS PROPOSED TAXES.

LOGAN SQUARE , WHAT IS THE VIEW FROM THE COMMUNITY LIKE LOGAN SQUARE WHERE BUSINESS IS BOOMING PRETTY WELL.

WHAT POLICIES CAN HELP FOSTER A CLIMATE WHERE FOLKS CAN EXPAND THEIR BUSINESSES AND OPEN NEW BUSINESSES?

>> I THINK OUR OPERATORS HAVE BEEN TELLING US THEY WANT TO MAYOR THAT TRULY UNDERSTANDS THE IMPORTANCE OF BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ARENA IN THE COMMUNITY .

THAT IS WHEN WE ARE GOING TO GET A THRIVING CORRIDOR.

I THINK WHAT'S HAPPENING NOW IS ACROSS-THE-BOARD , OUR OPERATORS , NOT JUST IN THE SOUTHWEST SIDE .

>> SOUTH AND WEST , BUT ALL OVER THE CITY.

>> ELLIOTT RICHARDSON, WHAT ABOUT SMALL BUSINESS IN GENERAL?

>> YEAH.

>> WHAT IS THE MOOD ?

>> SMALL BUSINESS HAS HAD A DIFFICULT TIME DURING THE PANDEMIC.

THEY ARE STRUGGLING TO RECOVER.

WHETHER IT'S THE NORTHSIDE OR THE WEST SIDE OR THE SOUTH SIDE.

ONE THING WE NEED THE NEW MAYOR TO DO IS TO LEAD THE CHARGE TO CUT RED TAPE, REDUCE COSTS FOR STARTING A BUSINESS.

MOVING INTO A NEIGHBORHOOD .

WE'VE GOT TO REVITALIZE NEIGHBORHOOD BUSINESSES.

>> WHAT ARE THOSE ISSUES?

>> GETTING A PERMIT.

GETTING A BUSINESS LICENSE.

IT TAKES FAR TOO LONG.

IT'S FAR TOO EXPENSIVE.

ZONING.

YOU NEED A SPECIAL USE PERMIT TO BRING AN INNOVATIVE NEW BUSINESS.

YOU HAVE TO COME UP WITH SITE PLANS.

YOU HAVE TO COME UP WITH VERY ARDUOUS NOTICE REQUIREMENTS.

YOU HAVE TO BRING IN EXPERTS, SOMETIMES A REAL ESTATE EXPERT OR SOMEBODY LIKE THAT.

THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO PAY THESE FEES AND TIME TO PUT UP THEIR SHINGLE IN ORDER FOR BUSINESS TO HAPPEN.

PEOPLE DON'T WANT TO TAKE THE CHANCE.

THEY DON'T WANT TO COME TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

THEY DON'T WANT TO RISK SIGNING A LEASE AND NOT BEING ABLE TO OPEN.

WE NEED THE MAYOR THAT CAN WORK WITH DEVELOPERS AND WORK WITH CITY DEPARTMENTS AND MAKE THIS PROCESS SMOOTHER, LESS EXPENSIVE, AND QUICK.

>> IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU NEED TO APPEAL TO CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS AS WELL.

THEY HAVE A LOT OF SAY.

DOES THE ROAD NEED TO BE SMOOTHER FOR SMALL BUSINESSES?

>> ABSOLUTELY.

LET'S GO BACK TO THE RED TAPE.

THAT'S THE THING THAT KEEPS BUSINESSES FROM OPENING.

THEY ARE FINDING SPACES IN SUBURBS TO OPEN.

THE PROCESS IS LESS ARDUOUS.

THE RED TAPE, THE COST.

FOR MANY , ONCE THEY FINALLY GET OPEN , THE FINES AND FEES.

ON A CONSISTENT BASIS, VERY SMALL BUSINESS IN A POST PANDEMIC ECONOMY IS NOT GOING TO FIND IN THE CITY OF CHICAGO.

>> IN INGLEWOOD , I DON'T THINK YOU WANT TO RELY ON GIANT ECONOMIES.

JACK, YOU MENTIONED YOU'RE NOT A FAN OF SOME OF THE TAXES THAT BRANDON JOHNSON IS PROPOSING.

BUT I THINK WE HAVE TO LEVEL WITH FOLKS GIVEN THE DEBT SITUATION IN THE CITY.

REVENUE MIGHT HAVE TO BE RAISED IN SOME CAPACITY.

>> YOU NEED TO HAVE THE SCHOOL SECURITY.

YOU NEED TO BALANCE THE BUDGET.

WE HAVE A FISCAL CLIFF COMING UP.

760 MILLION.

BEFORE WE START PROPOSING TAXES FOR NEW PROGRAMS, WE NEED TO ADDRESS SOME OF THE ISSUES WE HAVE.

FUNDING FOR PUBLIC TRANSIT.

UNFUNDED PENSION LIABILITIES.

THESE ARE ISSUES WE NEED TO ADDRESS BEFORE WE BEGIN NEW PROGRAMS.

PLUS PUBLIC SAFETY, POLICE, CTA, THINGS THAT WILL HELP BUSINESSES GROW.

ON THE RED TAPE, WE HAD 12 CRANES UP BEFORE.

WE'VE GOT TO GET THE PERCEPTION OF CHICAGO AS A GOOD PLACE TO DO BUSINESS , WELCOME COMPANIES HERE .

THERE IS A TAX ON HIRING SOMEONE.

WE TELL BUSINESSES, YOU ARE GOING TO GET TAXED FOR HIRING SOMEONE.

THAT IS NOT A GOOD THING TO SELL.

WE ARE GOING TO CHARGE YOU.

>> A HEAD TAX .

WHEN YOU LOOK AT THESE TWO CANDIDATES, DO ANY OF THEIR BUSINESS PLATFORMS APPEAL TO LOGAN SQUARE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE?

>> I THINK THAT BOTH CANDIDATES -- FOR US , I SPOKE TO OUR BUSINESS OPERATORS.

THEY ARE LOOKING FOR A MAYOR THAT IS TACKLING THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM.

AND I THINK A LOT OF WHAT IS BEEN PRESENTED ARE ALMOST UNREALISTIC INITIATIVES.

>> THERE ARE A LOT OF PROMISES BEING MADE.

CAN ANY OF THEM BE DELIVERED ON?

IT'S A CAMPAIGN.

WE HAVE SEEN THEM BEFORE.

>>> WE ARE OUT OF TIME.

>>> UP NEXT, OUR SPOTLIGHT POLITICS, COUNTDOWN TO ELECTION DAY.

>>> CHICAGO MAYORAL ELECTION IS SIX DAYS AWAY.

THE CANDIDATES ARE GETTING TESTY.

THAT IN AN UPDATE, SPOTLIGHT POLITICS.

AMANDA, HEATHER.

FIRST OFF , POLLING SHOWS THAT THE RACE FOR MAYOR IS TIED.

THE DEBATES ARE PRETTY ROUGH.

>> THE FACT THAT HE IS BEING DISMISSIVE OF A BLACK MAN WHO TAUGHT FOUR YEARS , THE STRENGTH OF THE SCHOOLS , YOU GOT TO STOP DOING THAT.

>> I AM CRITICIZING HIS LEADERSHIP ABILITY , NOT HIS FOUR YEARS AS A TEACHER .

>> THEN DON'T BRING IT UP.

>> HE WILL RETIRE WITH A TEACHER PENSION DESPITE THAT HE IS ONLY BEEN A TEACHER FOUR YEARS.

>> OUCH.

THAT HURT.

IS A RACE ABOUT EXPERIENCE OR RACE?

>> ALL OF THE ABOVE.

WHEN IS THIS CLOSE, THE CANDIDATES ARE SCRAPPING FOR ANY POSSIBLE ADVANTAGE.

IT IS TO VALLAS' ADVANTAGE TO LOOK CALM , THE EXPERIENCED PERSON.

IT ALSO HELPS JOHNSON TO SAY , WE ARE NOT GOING TO GO BACK TO A CITY WITH A HUGE AFRICAN AMERICAN POPULATION RUN PROBABLY BY WHITE PEOPLE.

RACE IS CERTAINLY AN ISSUE.

WE WILL HEAR MORE ABOUT IT IN THE NECK SIX DAYS.

>> LIKE HAROLD WASHINGTON IN ERNIE UPTON.

BOTH OF THESE CANDIDATES CAN CLAIM DIVERSE COALITIONS OF SUPPORTERS.

>> FAIRPOINT.

JOHN SAYS THERE WILL BE, QUOTE, BLOOD IN THE STREET .

WHAT IS HE TALKING ABOUT?

>> A SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE COMMENTS FROM THE FOP LEADER.

WHAT IS ALLEGING IS THAT IF BRANDON JOHNSON IS ELECTED MAYOR, THE POLICE OFFICERS ARE GOING TO LEAVE THE FORCE AND MASS, AND THE CRIME SITUATION, ACCORDING TO HIM WILL GET WORTH, AS OPPOSED TO HIS CANDIDATE, VALLAS.

HEATHER HAS DONE AN ANALYSIS.

NO ONE HAS SUPPORTED EITHER ONE AT THIS POINT.

THERE IS NO DATA TO SUGGEST THAT WILL BE A MASS EXODUS OF POLICE OFFICERS.

CERTAINLY, -- >> I THINK IT IS HURTING 'S CAMPAIGN.

HE IS , QUOTE, UNQUOTE, THE LAW ENFORCEMENT CANDIDATE.

DID YOU MAKE THOSE COMMENTS ?

HE DIDN'T WANT TO SAY IT.

HE SAYS HE IS NOT GOING TO CUT ANY MONEY.

CROSS STRATEGY.

>> IT IS A DOUBLE-EDGED SWORD.

YOU WANT THE RANK AND FILE BEHIND YOU.

BUT I'M NOT WITH JOHN KANE ZERO.

IT IS THE RANK-AND-FILE.

>> BUT JOHN WAS RE-ELECTED.

>> GEORGE CLAIMS JOHNSON SUPPORTERS ARE ENGAGING IN TRICKS.

>> THEY GOT NAMES FROM ALL THESE PEOPLE .

THEY MADE THEM SIGN A DOCUMENT .

THEY GOT IT AT THE HOUSE, AND THEY MAIL IT BACK OR DROP IT OFF.

THEY ARE GOING TO WIN.

THAT'S NOT ACCEPTABLE.

ARE WE GOING TO LET THEM CHEAT?

>> NO !

>> I SHOULD CLARIFY FORMER ALDERMAN.

WHAT WAS HE TALKING ABOUT?

>> THE FIRST ROUND OF VOTING, JOHNSON SUPPORTERS WERE MORE LIKELY TO VOTE BY MAIL BEEN VALLAS SUPPORTERS.

THERE IS NO SMALL CONCERN AMONG VALLAS SUPPORTERS THAT JOHNSON 'S IS WILL COME FROM MAIL-IN BALLOTS.

I ASKED HIM ABOUT THAT, WHICH ECHOED ALL THE STATEMENTS FROM REPUBLICANS ABOUT PROBLEMS WITH MAIL-IN BALLOTS THAT ARE TRULY FALSE .

THERE IS NO EVIDENCE THAT VOTING BY MAIL IS ANY LESS SAFE OR MORE LIKELY TO BE MODULAR.

HE IS TRYING TO RALLY THE CROWD AND GET VALLAS VOTERS TO VOTE.

HE DID NOT RESPOND TO MY QUESTIONS ABOUT WHETHER THAT IS APPROPRIATE GIVEN THAT WE ARE LIVING IN A TIME WHERE PEOPLE ARE ENGAGING IN ELECTION DENIALISM.

>> THAT IS A DANGEROUS ONE TO GO TO UNLESS THERE IS ACTUAL PROOF OF CHEATING, WHICH THERE IS NOT.

>> IN THAT MEETING, HE WAS STANDING OFF CAMERA.

I DID NOT GET A REMARK ABOUT WHETHER HE THOUGHT THE REMARKS WERE APPROPRIATE.

>> PROSECUTION STAR WITNESS CITY GETS JOB REQUESTS A PEOPLE PUSHED BY THE FORMER HOUSE SPEAKER .

AMANDA, THE DEFENSE SAYS IT IS GOOD OLD FASHION PATRONAGE.

MADIGAN STARTED 50 YEARS AGO .

OF THE RULES CHANGED OVER TIME?

>> BRIBERY HAS ALWAYS BEEN ILLEGAL.

GIVING JOBS IN ADVANCE OF LEGISLATION AND LAWS THAT ENDED UP BENEFITING .

BRIBERY IS ILLEGAL.

INTERESTING , HE IS SUPPOSED TO BE THIS GUY THAT PLAYED IT SO, SO SAFE.

HE DOESN'T SEEM ALL THAT CAREFUL.

SOME FAIRLY BLATANT PANDERING THAT IS PART OF THESE CONVERSATIONS.

REALLY INTERESTING TO WATCH , INCLUDING MADIGAN , McLEAN , PETE'S AT THE SPRINGFIELD RESTAURANT THAT WAS KNOWN TO BE MADIGAN'S FAVORITE.

>> THE PIZZA WITH SALSA.

>> THERE GO.

>> IT IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR OUR JOBS.

THANKS, EVERYBODY.

>>> UP NEXT, THE SOUNDS OF YOUR COMMUTE REIMAGINED AS ARTS.

BUT FIRST, A LOOK AT THE WEATHER.

>>> RACHEL STEELE LIKE TO KEEP HER EARS OPEN.

AS A PERSON WITH EPILEPSY, SHE CAN'T GET A DRIVERS LICENSE.

MOVING TO A PUBLIC TRANSIT HEAVY CITY LIKE CHICAGO, MAKES IT EASY FOR HER TO GET AROUND.

SHE QUICKLY REALIZED THE SOUNDS OF THE CITY TELL A STORY.

SHE CREATED AUDIO ART.

SHE SHARED IT WITH NEW VISUAL ELEMENTS.

WE VISITED HER EARLIER TODAY.

>> IF WE TAKE SOME TIME TO TAKE OUT YOUR PHONES AND LISTEN IN MINDFULNESS AND RECOGNIZE WHAT'S AROUND US.

YOU MIGHT HEAR SOMETHING THAT REALLY SURPRISES YOU.

WHAT IF I CREATED A SONIC INTERPRETATION OF A COMMUTE?

JUST CLOSE YOUR EYES AND BE ABLE TO BE TRANSPORTED .

>> THE TRAIN WILL BE ARRIVING SHORTLY.

>> DOORS CLOSING.

>> PHYSICAL PIECES COMPLEMENT THE IDEAS IN HER AUDIO WORK.

DIFFERENT DESTINATIONS FORCES US TO REORIENT OURSELVES .

WITH AN EYE TOWARD CLIMATE CHANGE, SHE FOCUSES TOWARD SOUNDING MATERIAL.

>> YOU CAN REPURPOSE THEM IN ANOTHER WAY THAT APPLIES MEANING AND VALUE.

>> THE EVENT IS OPEN JUST ONE NIGHT , TOMORROW, AT 5:30 AS CHICAGO SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA.

THERE IS MORE INFORMATION ON OUR WEBSITE.

>>> THAT'S ARE SO FOR THIS WEDNESDAY NIGHT.

VISIT US TOMORROW NIGHT LIVE AT 10:00.

>>> I AM PARIS SCHUTZ.

>> I AM BRANDIS FRIEDMAN.

THANKS FOR WATCHING.

STAY HEALTHY AND SAFE, AND HAVE A GOOD NIGHT.

>>> CLOSE CAPTIONING IS MADE POSSIBLE BY ROBERT A CLIFFORD
