>> WAS GOING TO GET INTO AND I THINK EVERYBODY WATCHING KNOWS YOUR NAME.

TEXAS GOVERNOR GREG ABBOTT, WITH THE STATE OF EMERGENCY , HOW IS THAT DECORATION GOING TO HELP THE INCOMING MAYOR DEAL WITH MIGRANTS?

>> THEY HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WHO WILL MOST LIKELY MAKE THEIR WAY TO CHICAGO.

IT WILL GIVE THIS ADMINISTRATION MORE FLEXIBILITY IN PURCHASING , SO IT'S A LITTLE BIT OF A POSSIBILITY.

IT WILL BE ON THE TOP OF THE TO DO LIST.

>> IT GIVES YOU FREEDOM AND YOU NEED THE DOLLARS.

>> THIS IS SOMETHING THAT MAYOR RAHM EMANUEL FOUGHT FOR.

THEY WILL PUT LOCAL DOLLARS TO MATCH WHATEVER FEDERAL FUNDING THAT THE CITY IS LOOKING FOR.

THIS WOULD DEFINITELY ADVANCE THAT INITIATIVE IN THE LEGACY OF THAT .

FOR MANY YEARS, SHE WENT TO SPRINGFIELD WITH PAST BILLS LIKE THAT IN SPRINGFIELD.

>> A LITTLE HELP WITH THOSE PENSION ISSUES.

>> ARE THEY GOING TO BLAME HER?

>> THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE WHO WILL , LIKE THEY BLAMED MAYOR BAILEY FOR THE '02 RENOVATION.

I AM NOT SURE HOW MUCH ROOM OR ABILITY SHE REALLY HAD TO WORK WITH , WITH HER LACK OF BEING ABLE TO COMMUNICATE .

I BELIEVE SHE BRUSHES OFF THE CONCERN AND I BELIEVE IT'S BEYOND HER ABILITY, I THINK.

IT'S NOT DONE.

>> HER RESPONSE WAS TO GET TOUGH AND TALK ABOUT THIS BEING RELEVANT PAST OCTOBER.

THAT DID NOT WORK.

>> THE BEARS DIDN'T TURN AROUND AND CHANGE IT.

THINK THIS IS VERY WELL ADDRESSED.

>> EVERY TIME THAT I NEEDED TO RISE ABOVE , I HAVE.

THAT FOUR LETTER WORD, HOPE.

>> SHE SAID THE WORK IS NOT DONE YET.

WHAT'S NEXT FOR HER?

>> SHE SAID IN INTERVIEWS THAT SHE IS GOING TO CHEER ON CHICAGO FROM THE SIDELINES.

SHE'S TALKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT HER NEXT CHAPTER , AND SHE COULD DO ANY NUMBER OF DIFFERENT THINGS.

AND DAILEY WENT BACK TO A LAW FORM AND OF COURSE, MAYBE SHE WILL BECOME AN AMBASSADOR.

>> IF I WERE HER, I WOULD TAKE A LONG VACATION.

>> YEAH, I DON'T CARE, LOVE, HATE, IN BETWEEN .

>> HE KEPT FIGHTING FOR ISSUES AND ISSUES THAT ARE IMPORTANT TO LORI LIGHTFOOT.

MAYBE THERE'S MORE SHE CAN DO TO FURTHER HER LEGACY.

>> SHE BLAMES THE MEDIA FOR LOSING HER RE-ELECTION , IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN BETTER FOR HER.

>> I DON'T KNOW , THE SUPERINTENDENT GOT HIGH MARKS , BUT LET'S BE REALISTIC .

IF YOU THROW HIM UNDER THE BUS , THAT COULD MAKE HER LOOK WEAK .

IT'S KIND OF A SOPHIE'S CHOICE.

>> I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE WOULD CHALLENGE THAT .

PICKING THAT POLICE SUPERINTENDENT .
