REAL-TIME CLOSED CAPTIONING PROVIDED BY U.S. CAPTIONING COMPANY.

>>> [MUSIC] >>> GOOD EVENING AND WELCOME TO THE WE CAN REVIEW AND PARIS SCHUTZ.

WERE JOINED WITH OUR WEEK IN REVIEW IN JUST A MOMENT BUT FIRST SOME OF TODAY'S TOP STORIES.

A COOK COUNTY JUDGE PUT A TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER ON JOHN KENTON ZARROW.

MORE SPECIFICALLY, SHE IS ORDERING HIM TO STOP PUBLICLY POLICE OFFICERS TO DEFY THE CITY'S VACCINE REPORTING REQUIREMENT.

THIS AFTER MAYOR LIGHTFOOT AND KAT AND SARAH ESCALATED THERE WHERE OF -- WAR OF WORLDS BY ALLEGING THAT KEVIN ZARROW IS ENGAGING IN SUPPORTING AND QUOTE ENCOURAGING A WORK STOPPAGE OR STRIKE AT THE FOP CLAIMS THE MAYOR IS ENGAGING IN UNFAIR LABOR PRACTICES.

THIS AFTER KEVIN ZARROW HAD REPEATEDLY ADVISED OFFICERS NOT TO COMPLY WITH THAT MANDATORY VACCINE REPORTING REQUIREMENT AND THEY WOULD RISK LOSING THEIR PAY IF THEY DON'T UPLOAD THAT DATA TO A CITY PORTAL.

ALTHOUGH THAT WOULD NOT HAPPEN IMMEDIATELY ACCORDING TO THE CITY.

KEVIN ZARROW WARNED THAT AS MANY AS 50 PERCENT OF COPS MIGHT BE OFF THE JOB THIS WEEKEND.

WE WILL HAVE MUCH MORE ON ALL OF THIS JUST A BIT.

>>> TO ILLINOIS REPUBLICAN CONGRESSMAN COULD BE IN JEOPARDY OF LOSING THEIR JOBS THIS AFTER ILLINOIS DEMOCRATS RELEASED THEIR NEWLY DRAWN CONGRESSIONAL MAPS.

THOSE NEW MAPS DRAWN REPUBLICAN REPRESENTATIVE ADAM KINZINGER INTO THE SAME DISTRICT AS A DEMOCRATIC CONGRESSWOMAN MARIE NEWMAN.

THAT IS ONE WHERE VOTERS SKEW SLIGHTLY DEMOCRATIC.

THEY ALSO DRAW DOWN SAY REPUBLICAN CONGRESSMAN RAY LAHOOD INTO A DISTRICT WITH REPUBLICAN, SAID MARY MILLER WHICH MEANS ONE OF THOSE JOBS WILL BE ELIMINATED.

THE CURRENT BALANCE IS 13 DEMOCRATIC DISTRICTS TO FIVE REPUBLICAN AND THE NEW MAPS WOULD PURPORT TO DRAW 14 DEMOCRATIC DISTRICTS TO THREE REPUBLICAN, ACCOUNTING FOR THE OVERALL LOSS OF ONE DISTRICT DUE TO POPULATION DECLINE AS REPRESENTED IN THE LAST CENSUS.

REPUBLICANS UNIVERSALLY SLAMMED THESE NEW MAPS AS DID CONGRESSWOMAN NEWMAN.

WILL HAVE MORE ON THIS IN A BIT AS WELL.

>>> WTTW NEWS REPORTS OF THE MAYOR HAS SELECTED AN ENTRANCE GENERAL JOE FERGUSON DEPARTING.

HE IS WILLIAM MARBACH WHO SERVED AS THE DEPUTY INSPECTOR GENERAL FOR INVESTIGATION.

FERGUSON LEAVE THE POST AFTER THREE TERMS AND 12 YEARS FIRST APPOINTED BY MAYOR DAILY IN 2009.

THE FIVE-MEMBER COMMISSION IS CHARGED WITH FINDING FERGUSON'S PERMANENT REPLACEMENT.

>>> GOV.

PRITZKER RELEASES PARTIAL TAX RETURNS TODAY.

PRITZKER AND HIS WIFE AND KAY REPORTED EARNINGS OF MORE THAN $5 MILLION IN 2020, 2.2 MILLION OF WHICH WAS TAXABLE.

THE COUPLE PAID NEARLY $535,000 IN FEDERAL INCOME TAX AND MORE THAN $230,000 TO THE STATE.

THE TRUST THAT THE PICTURE PAGE 69.6 MILLION IN FEDERAL TAXES AND 16.3 MILLION IN ESTATE TAXES.

THE GOVERNOR AND HIS WIFE MADE TO $.8 MILLION IN CHARITABLE DONATIONS LAST YEAR.

>>> AND NOW TO OUR WEEK IN REVIEW PANEL.

KAREN JORDAN OF ABC SEVEN CHICAGO, CONOR MCKNIGHT OF ESPN 1000, MIKE FLANNERY OF FOXX 32 CHICAGO, AND CHRISTINE FLOORS OF WGN TV NEWS.

LET'S GET RIGHT TO IT.

THAT WAR OF WORDS BETWEEN CHICAGO POLICE UNION PRESIDENT KEVIN ZARROW AND MAYOR LORI LIGHTFOOT.

IT RAMPED UP TODAY.

HERE'S WHAT THE MAYOR HAD TO SAY THAT HER EXPECTATIONS OF THE POLICE OFFICERS IN THE HIGH-STAKES BATTLE OVER VACCINATIONS BACK REPORT FOR DUTY AND SHOW UP AND COMPLY WITH A LEGAL DIRECTIVE FROM THE CITY AND AN ORDER FROM THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.

ANYTHING LESS WOULD BE INSUBORDINATION.

>> MIKE FLANNERY, WE MENTION THAT A JUDGE PUT THE GAG ON CAPTAIN ZARROW.

HE CAN'T GO OUT AND URGED MEMBERS TO WALK OFF THE JOB OR NOT COMPLY WITH THE VACCINE REPORTING REQUIREMENT.

WHAT IS THE ENDGAME HERE?

>> I'M NOT SURE WITH THE FOP START GAME, MIDDLE GAME, IN SAINT -- ENDGAME IS.

WE HAD A LEGAL SCHOLAR ON OUR FOXX 32 NEWS AT 4 O'CLOCK, PARAS, AND AS HE LAID IT OUT, FOR MORE THAN A CENTURY THIS HAS BEEN A CLEARLY ESTABLISHED PRINCIPLE OF THE LAW, AN EMPLOYER CAN REQUIRE VACCINATIONS END OF STORY.

>> CAN CATANZARO SAY THAT COPS WON'T SHOW UP FOR WORK BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT TO GET THEIR PAY DOCKED FOR NOT COMPLYING?

DO YOU THINK THAT'S GOING TO MATERIALIZE?

>> NO, THAT'S REALLY INTERESTING.

THIS WEEKEND IT WILL BE, IT REMAINS TO BE SEEN.

A LOT OF CHICAGO POLICE ALSO MOONLIGHT AND WORK SECURITY FOR ABC SEVEN AND SO TALKING TO THEM KIND OF GETTING THE FEEL FOR THE MOOD AMONG THE POLICE DEPARTMENT EVERY -- IT REMAINS TO BE SEEN.

I THINK THEY ARE CONCERNED ABOUT POSSIBLY HAVING TO WORK EXTRA HOURS, HAVING THEIR VACATION TAKING AWAY, ALTHOUGH THE MAYOR HAS NOT SAID SHE WOULD DO THAT.

I DON'T THINK THAT IS SOMETHING THEY WANTED TO DO.

I THINK THEY ARE REALLY JUST GOING TO WAIT UNTIL THEIR BACKS ARE UP AGAINST THE WALL.

>> THE MAYOR SEEMS TO BE CONFIDENT AND SO DO POLICE TOP BRASS THAT THAT WON'T MATERIALIZE AND THAT POLICE WILL SHOW UP FOR WORK.

CHRISTIAN FLORES, WHAT DO YOU THINK THE TENOR IS AMONG COPS?

ARE THEY REALLY RESISTANT AS THE FOP PRESIDENT SEEMS TO INDICATE?

OR IS IT JUST A BUNCH OF HOT AIR THAT IS BLOWING?

>> IT IS A SCARY THOUGHT.

TO THINK THAT OUR CITY COULD BE UNPROTECTED ESPECIALLY GOING INTO A WEEKEND ESPECIALLY WHEN NUMBERS ARE SO HIGH WHEN IT COMES TO CRIME WITHIN THE CITY.

THAT IS WHY YOU HAD A LOT OF ALDERMEN WHO THOSE PEOPLE ARE SPEAKING UP AND HOW THEY FELT.

IT'S TIME TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

>> I WILL POSE THAT QUESTION TO YOU, CONNOR MCKNIGHT.

DO YOU THINK IT IS FAIR THAT POLICE OFFICERS AND OTHER CITY WORKERS HAVE TO ACTUALLY REPORT THEIR VACCINATION STATUS TO THE CITY?

MIND YOU, THIS IS A COME DOWN FROM THE MAYOR'S INITIAL POSITION WHERE THEY HAD TO GET VACCINATED.

NOW THEY JUST HAVE TO REPORT WHAT THEIR STATUS IS AND GET TESTED.

>> WE ARE SEEING SOMETHING SIMILAR WITH TEACHERS I BELIEVE.

I THINK LIKE MIKE SAID, MY PERSPECTIVE, IF WE HAVE PRECEDENT OF 100 YEARS OF THIS THAT IT SEEMS OKAY TO ME.

THE 50 PERCENT NUMBER THAT HAS BEEN THROWN OUT THERE, JUST SEEMS -- IT SEEMS LIKE TALK IN AS MUCH AS HALF OF THE POLICE FORCE AND LOOK AT THE OTHER HALF AND SAY YOU PICK UP MY JOB FOR THE WEEKEND.

I HAVE AN OBJECTION.

IT SEEMS ODD TO ME AND I CERTAINLY HOPE -- I CERTAINLY HOPE THAT IS NOT WHAT WE ARE HEADED THIS WEEKEND.

>> PART OF THIS, MIKE, YOU HAVE SEEN THE FOP PRESIDENT ON THE FOXX CABLE NETWORK A BUNCH OF TIMES.

MAYOR LIGHTFOOT WAS ON CNN.

ARE ONE OR BOTH PARTIES HERE TRYING TO JUST BUILD THEIR NATIONAL PROFILE WITH THIS FIGHT?

>> BOTH OF THEM.

THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT IS GOING ON HERE.

THEY ARE BOTH PLAYING TO A POLITICAL AUDIENCE AND IT IS BREATHTAKING THAT THIS VACCINATION HAS BECOME AND MASK WEARING HAS BECOME SO HEAVILY POLITICIZED.

IT IS ONE OF THE FEW PLACES IN THE WORLD WHERE THIS HAS HAPPENED.

BUT HERE WE ARE.

IN THE END, IF YOU RECALL WHAT UNITED AIRLINES WAS ONE OF THE FIRST -- THE BIG FIRST AIRLINES TO ACQUIRE THIS, THERE WAS LOTS OF TALK ABOUT ALL OF THE FLIGHTS THAT WOULD BE CANCELED, THE PILOTS AND THE STEWARDS AND THE FLIGHT ATTENDANTS WHO WOULDN'T SHOW UP.

IN THE END 99.7 OR 99.8 PERCENT HAVE GOTTEN VACCINATED.

>> KAREN JORDAN, YOU MENTIONED COPS MOONLIGHTING.

SOME OF THEM ARE SECURITY OVER THERE AT ABC SEVEN.

FORMER FOP PRESIDENT DEAN ANGELA DIED THIS WEEK FROM COVID.

DO YOU THINK THAT KIND OF NEWS RESONATES WITH COPS?

>> I THINK IT DEFINITELY DOES.

AND LOT OF THEM OBVIOUSLY WANT TO GET HOME TO THEIR FAMILIES AND THEY WANT TO BE SAFE ON THE JOB.

NOT ONLY FROM THE VIOLENCE BUT THEY ALSO DON'T WANT TO CATCH COVID ON THE JOB AS WELL.

I THINK THERE IS A LOT OF WRESTLING AND DEEP THINKING ABOUT THIS ISSUE.

>> KAREN, WHILE I HAVE YOU, LET'S MOVE ON TO, WHILE THIS IS GOING ON, THERE IS A LOT OF CRIME HAPPENING IN THE CITY.

MORE THIS YEAR THAN LAST YEAR IF WE LOOK AT HOMICIDES.

14-YEAR-OLD GIRL AND A SECURITY GUARD WERE SHOT OUTSIDE OF WENDELL PHILLIPS HIGH SCHOOL IN BROWNSVILLE THIS WEEK.

WHAT IS THE LATEST THAT WE KNOW ABOUT THAT CASE?

>> WELL, RIGHT NOW PLEASE ARE STILL LOOKING FOR THE GUNMAN.

AND A LOT OF PEOPLE IN THE WENDELL PHILLIPS COMMUNITY ARE THINKING THAT THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A STUDENT, IT ALSO COULD HAVE BEEN A YOUNGER TEENAGER.

BUT THIS IS SO DISTURBING.

THIS IS NEARLY 400 KIDS HAVE BEEN SHOT JUST THIS YEAR.

WITH DOZENS ACTUALLY HAVING BEEN KILLED THEY ARE JUST -- KIDS ARE EVEN SCARED, PARENTS AREN'T SCARED TO TAKE THE KIDS TO SCHOOL.

IT IS REALLY A CRISIS.

>> THE CITY HAS SEEN HIGHER HOMICIDE NUMBERS IN THE PAST LIKE IN THE 90s, BUT HAS BEEN POINTED OUT ON THE SHOW A BUNCH OF TIMES THAT WE ARE SEEING MORE KIDS GET SHOT NOW.

AS YOU MENTIONED, KAREN, THEN WE HAVE IN THE PAST.

CHRISTINE FLOREZ, SOME BUSINESS LEADERS ARE SAYING, WELL, THIS CRIME IS GOING TO THREATEN THE BUSINESS CLIMATE IN THE CITY AND BUSINESSES ARE GOING TO MOVE OUT.

THIS IS A COMMON REFRAIN, BUT DO YOU THINK IT HAS EXTRA WEIGHT TO THIS TIME AS WE GO THROUGH THIS YEAR OF HIGH CRIME?

>> YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE THINGS ESPECIALLY WHEN WE ARE TALKING ABOUT BUSINESSES, THEY ARE ALREADY COMING OUT OF THE PANDEMIC.

THEY'RE COMING OUT OF THE TIME WHEN THEY HAD TO, THEY ARE ALREADY SHORTSTAFFED, FACING A LOT OF HOLES WHEN IT COMES TO THAT.

SO THE CRIME OF SOME OF THESE BUSINESS LEADERS HAVE SAID IS ANOTHER HURDLE THAT THEY HAVE TO FACE.

PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE SCARED TO GO TO THESE AREAS IF THEY KNOW THE CRIME IS HIGH THERE.

OR NOT WANT TO GO AT ALL.

THESE HURDLES THAT THEY KEEP TRYING TO HAVE TO FACE.

IN ORDER TO GET BY, WHICH IS A SAD REALITY THAT WE ARE SEEING HERE WITHIN A LOT OF OUR SMALL BUSINESSES.

>> IF I CAN THROW SOMETHING IN HERE.

I THINK THIS IS CONNECTED TO THE FIRST STORY.

THERE HAVE BEEN ALMOST 3800 PEOPLE SHOT SO FAR THIS YEAR IN THE CITY OF CHICAGO.

OVER 600 KILLED.

POLICE OFFICERS RESPOND TO MOST OF THOSE SHOOTINGS.

I KNOW COPS WHO ARE TRAUMATIZED.

THEY HAVE PTSD JUST THE WAY A LOT OF THE KIDS AND A LOT OF THE PEOPLE IN THE HYPER VIOLENT NEIGHBORHOODS ARE.

THIS ANGER, THIS RAGE THAT SOME POLICE OFFICERS ARE EXPRESSING AND -- I WOULD POINT TO THE ELECTION OF JOHN CAT ZARA TO REPRESENT THEM AS A REFLECTION OF THAT RAGE.

IT IS ALL PART OF THE SAME BALL OF WAX HERE.

>> WRITES.

WE MENTIONED DEAN ANGELA THE FORMER FOP PRESIDENT WHO DIED FOR HE WAS PRESIDENT FROM 2014 TO 2017.

MORE OF A MODERATE IN THAT POSITION THAN CATANZARO HAS BEEN.

OUR CONDOLENCES GO OUT TO THE ANGELO FAMILY.

MIKE, I WANT TO STAY WITH YOU HERE BECAUSE YOU ALSO REPORTED TONIGHT INSPECTOR JOE FERGUSON HE HAS STEPPED DOWN FROM HIS POST.

HE HAS BEEN THERE FOR THREE TERMS, HE HAS DONE A LOT OF THINGS IN THAT OFFICE.

WHAT DO YOU THINK HIS LASTING LEGACY IS?

>> I THINK HE WAS GREAT.

HE KIND OF ASSIGNED HIMSELF SOME INVESTIGATIONS, SOME REPORTS THAT HE PUT TOGETHER.

I WILL NEVER FORGET WHEN THE CITY -- BEFORE THE AID MONEY CAME, THE CORONAVIRUS RELIEF BILLIONS CAME -- AND THEN BACK UNDER ROM AND UNDER RICHIE RITCHIE, WE WERE CHRONICALLY FACING BUDGET SHORTFALLS.

HE ASSIGNED HIMSELF THE ASSIGNMENT TO GO OUT AND SUGGEST BUDGET CUTS.

HE FOUND OUT THAT THE NUMBER OF FIRES IN THE CITY OF CHICAGO HAS DECLINED IN THE LAST FEW DECADES BY 80 PERCENT.

HOW MANY FIRE STATIONS HAVE WE CONSOLIDATED?

HOW MUCH REORGANIZATION OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT?

AS THE CITY OF POPULATION HAS MOVED AROUND.

WE HAVEN'T DONE ANY OF THAT.

THERE IS LOTS OF OPPORTUNITIES FOR SAVINGS AND THAT IS JUST ONE TINY PIECE OF THIS LEGACY.

AND HE WAS A STRAIGHT SHOOTER.

FORMER PROSECUTOR, A GUY WHO APPEARED INCORRUPTIBLE.

A GUY WHO ALSO APPEARED FEARLESS.

THE MAYORS, I THINK IT IS FAIR TO SAY THAT FERGUSON DID SOMETHING TO EACH OF THE MAYORS HE SERVED TO EARN THEIR SCORN AND THEIR ENMITY, AND PERHAPS EXPRESSED EXPRESS BEHIND THE SCENES, BUT HE DID A GOOD JOB.

>> AND THE SCORN AND ENMITY BUT A MANUAL.

BUT HE PUT HIMSELF IN A POSITION THAT EMMANUEL HAD TO REAPPOINT HIM OR AT LEAST PUBLICLY IT WOULD HAVE LOOKED REALLY BAD.

I WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE LEGACY OF SOMEONE ELSE.

GERRON JORDAN, BLACK WHO DIED THIS WEEK AT THE AGE OF 102.

WHAT ABOUT HIS LASTING LEGACY?

NOT ONLY IN CHICAGO BUT ON CIVIL RIGHTS?

>> MY GOODNESS.

HE IS A CIVIL RIGHTS HE WAS THERE BEFORE THE MOVEMENT STARTED EVEN AS A MENTOR TO MARTIN LUTHER KING JUNIOR.

THROUGHOUT THE YEARS HAS JUST BEEN THE MENTOR AND THE BEACON THAT PEOPLE TURN TO FOR GUIDANCE, FOR ADVICE.

SUCH A HISTORIAN.

HE ALWAYS JUST HAD SUCH A KNOWLEDGE OF THE STRUGGLES OF THE AFRICAN-AMERICAN COMMUNITY.

AND HE WOULD ENCOURAGE EVERYONE.

IT IS A HUGE LOSS, 102 YEARS IS AMAZING.

I COVERED HIS COVID BIRTHDAY PARTY LAST YEAR AND JUST FOR HOURS PEOPLE WOULD DRIVE BY JUST TO GET A GLIMPSE OF HIM, WAVED TO HIM, WISH HIM WELL.

HE WAS OUT THERE GREETING FOLKS STILL IN THE COMMUNITY.

IT IS A HUGE LOSS.

>> HIS ENERGY WAS I'M SURE POSITIVE BECAUSE HE WAS ALWAYS SUCH A POSITIVE GUIDE.

HE HAD A GREAT RELATIONSHIP WITH THIS STATION.

I WANT TO TURN BACK TO POLITICS.

CHRISTIAN FLORES, WE ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE NEW CONGRESSIONAL MAPS HAVE BEEN RELEASED TODAY.

DO YOU THINK THAT MEANS THE END OF THE ROAD FOR CONGRESSMAN ADAM CAN FIGURE, A, OR CONGRESSMAN RAY LAHOOD OR CONGRESSMAN MARY MILLER, ALSO A REPUBLICAN?

>> I DON'T THINK -- >> THERE LAHOOD.

RAY LAHOOD'S SON.

SORRY.

>> I DON'T THINK IT'S NECESSARILY THE END OF THE ROAD.

I THINK WE ARE GOING TO BE SEEING A LOT OF THIS COME OUT AND MOVING FORWARD WHERE THIS WILL END UP.

AS FAR AS MANY SUPPORTERS AND PEOPLE OF DIFFERENT ORGANIZATIONS THAT HAVE COME OUT AND SAID THIS IS HOW I THINK IT SHOULD BE LAID OUT, IT SHOULD BE INTERESTING TO SEE.

THAT WON'T NECESSARILY BE THE END.

>> MIKE FLANNERY, WHAT DO YOU THINK ADAM KINZINGER IS CALCULATION IS OR HE'S BUILT HIMSELF UP AS THIS ANTITRUST REPUBLICAN TRYING TO GET TO THE TRUTH OF JANUARY 6.

DOES HE RUN FOR CONGRESS AGAIN?

IS RUN FOR GOVERNOR?

OR DOES HE DO SOMETHING WITH THE DIFFERENT?

>> HE HAS FORMED A PACT.

HE IS RAISING MONEY AND IN HIS STATEMENT AFTER THE MAP WAS RELEASED HE SAID HE HAS ALL OPTIONS THAT HE IS CONSIDERING INCLUDING THOSE OUTSIDE CONGRESS.

BUT I WILL SAY, I INTERVIEWED DAVE WASSERMAN OF THE COPE POLITICAL REPORTS DOWN IN DC.

FOR OUR NEWS EARLIER.

HE SAID HE WAS STUNNED BY THIS MAP, PARAS.

HE SAID THAT RATHER THAN A GERRYMANDER, WHICH IF YOU WERE TO READ ALL OF THE REPUBLICAN PRESS RELEASES AND THE HOUSE OF OUTRAGE FROM THE GOP, HE SAYS HE THINKS THIS THING COULD BACKFIRE ON DEMOCRATS.

HE SAID IT IS A POTENTIAL DUMMY MANDER.

>> DUMB FOR DEMOCRATS?

YOU GOT SOME CRITICISM FROM DEMOCRATS MARIE NEWMAN SAYING, YOU KIND OF SCREWED MY DISTRICT TOO.

>> WELL, SO MARIE NEWMAN DISTRICT, LORD UNDERWOOD DISTRICT AND THE DISTRICT IN WESTERN ILLINOIS WHERE SHERI BUSTOS IS STEPPING DOWN.

THOSE ARE DISTRICTS THAT ARE ONLY FIVE OR SIX POINTS PRO-BIDEN, IF YOU LOOK AT THE LAST VOTE NUMBERS.

AND ACCORDING TO WASSERMAN, THEY COULD HAVE BEEN DOUBLE DIGITS, BIDEN DISTRICTS.

IF YOU TAKE HIM AS THE BASIC DEMOCRATIC VOTE, WHICH I DON'T THINK WE SHOULD DO.

BUT HIS POINT IS, THAT THREE OR FOUR OF THESE 14 SO-CALLED DEMOCRATIC DISTRICTS, ARE IN FACT COMPETITIVE AND IN A REPUBLICAN WAVE OF ELECTION, THE GOP COULD TAKE THEM.

REMEMBER, NANCY PELOSI RIGHT NOW ON CAPITOL HILL IS SPEAKER BY VIRTUE OF THREE DEMOCRATIC SEATS THAT IS THE MARGIN SHE HAS.

>> AND THE PARTY THAT HAS THE WHITE HOUSE USUALLY STRUGGLES IN THE MIDTERMS.

>> AND IF THE REPUBLICANS WERE TO FLIP FOUR SEES HERE IN ILLINOIS,.

>> THAT'S WHAT WE ARE CALLING IT A DUMMY MANDER.

>> CONNOR MCKNIGHT, IS THIS SOMETHING THAT THE AVERAGE CHICAGOAN OR ILLINOIS AND IS TO PAYING ATTENTION TO ORDER THE JUST GLOSS OVER THE NEWS WHEN WE TALK ABOUT REDISTRICTING OR REMAPPING URGENT -- GERRYMANDERING?

>> I THINK THIS IS DEFINITELY ON THE RADAR ESPECIALLY FOR THOSE OF US WHO SPEND OUR TIME WITH OTHER THINGS MOSTLY BUT THEN CHECK IN FOR MIDTERM ELECTIONS AND THE BIG CIVIC STUFF THAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO PAY ATTENTION TO.

I THINK THESE THINGS HAVE BEEN PUT FIRMLY ON THE RADAR OF AN LOT OF US WHO DON'T MAKE OUR LIVING OUT OF POLITICS THE WAY YOU GUYS DO.

I THINK ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU GET TO TALKING ABOUT REDRAWING THESE MAPS AND LINES, WE HAVE HEARD WHAT HAPPENED IN TEXAS, HOW CLOSE THINGS WERE THERE IN THE STATEHOUSE.

I THINK SIMILAR THINGS ESPECIALLY WITH -- EVEN NORTH OF US IN WISCONSIN, WITH SOME OF THE WORK THAT HAS BEEN DONE AGAINST BOTH THE GOVERNOR AND THE STATEHOUSE, IT IS PRETTY CLEARLY ON THE TOP OF THE LIST AS I THINK WE HAD TO THE BALLOT BOX AND REFRESH OUR MEMORY.

>> AND THIS IS SOMETHING THAT EVERY STATE IS DEALING WITH, RED STATES, BLUE STATES.

IT IS A NO HOLDS BAR FIGHTS.

WE WILL SEE IF THESE ARE EVEN THE FINAL MAPS BECAUSE AS WE SAID, MIKE, THERE IS SOME PUSHBACK.

I WANT TO THE MOVE TO THE PARK DISTRICT.

KAREN, THE CEO MIKE KELLY RESIGNED OVER THE SEXUAL HARASSMENT PROBES.

AFTER THE MAYOR HAS STOOD BY HIM FOR A WILD.

DO YOU THINK THIS IS THE FINAL SHOE TO DROP OR MIGHT THERE BE OTHER RESIGNATIONS LIKE FROM THE BOARD OR OTHER FINDINGS OF WHAT WENT ON THERE?

>> WELL, I BELIEVE THAT THERE IS SOME -- THERE WAS AN EFFORT, SOME PUSH TO GET AVIS LAVELLE MAYBE TO EITHER ANSWER FOR IT OR STEP DOWN.

BUT SHE OBVIOUSLY IS NOT WILLING TO CONCEDE THAT.

SHE IS ACTUALLY VERY VOCAL ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND SAYING THAT WE DG THAT'S.

I THINK THEY ACTUALLY MADE A GOOD MOVE IN TAPPING ROSA ESCOBEDO AS THE TEMPORARY, AS AN INTERIM BOARD CHAIR.

VETERAN CITY HALL PERSON.

IT IS HARD TO SAY IF THERE WILL BE MORE FALLOUT FROM THIS.

I THINK RIGHT NOW THEY ARE GOING TO KIND OF MAYBE SEE HOW THE DUST SETTLES AND SEE WHAT THE INTERIM CHAIR CAN DO AND ADDRESS.

>> RIGHTS.

SHE WAS A LONGTIME SHARE OF THE CITY CONSUMER PROTECTION.

THE MAYOR NAMED HER THE INTERIM REPLACEMENT AS THE BOARD SEARCHES FOR A PERMANENT REPLACEMENT.

LET'S MOVE ONTO SPORTS.

I'M SURPRISED MIKE FLANNERY IS HERE TODAY AND NOT STILL IN MOURNING.

NOT WEARING ALL BLACK.

CONNOR MCKNIGHT, THE SOX GIVE UP TONS OF RUNS AND THEY DIDN'T REALLY HIT SO WELL IN THE CLUTCH.

EXCEPT FOR MAYBE IN THAT GAME THREE.

WHAT WENT WRONG HERE?

>> WELL AS A TOUGH TIME TO PLAY BAD BASEBALL IN THE PLAYOFFS.

YOU WANT TO BRING YOUR BEST AND UNFORTUNATELY FOR THE WHITE SOX IT DIDN'T WORK OUT EXACTLY THE WAY THEY WANTED TO.

FIRST AND FOREMOST, HOUSTON IS A DARN GOOD TEAM.

IS IT IS THEIR FIFTH STRAIGHT ALCS.

AND THE WHITE SOX FACED NOT QUITE A JUGGERNAUT BUT CLOSE TO SOMETHING RESEMBLING ONE OF THEM.

UNFORTUNATELY WITH THE SOX, A VAUNTED ROTATION MAY BE THE AMERICAN LEAGUE'S BEST, ONE THROUGH FIVE, DIDN'T THROW ANY MORE THAN 13 INNINGS ACROSS FOUR GAMES.

THAT IS GOING TO BE A REALLY DIFFICULT ASK TO A BULLPEN TO KEEP THAT ASTROS OFFENSE DOWN.

WE SAW THINGS DIDN'T WORK OUT THE WAY THEY WANTED TO.

SOX ARE STILL A VERY GOOD, YOUNG AND CONTROLLABLE TEAM.

THEY WILL BE BACK.

BUT THIS ONE STINGS A LITTLE BIT I UNDERSTAND THAT.

>> JIM ANDERSON WANTS MANAGER A TONE OF THE ROOTS OF COME BACK NEXT YEAR.

77-YEAR-OLD MANAGER TONY LARUSSO.

OBVIOUSLY WITH A CONTROVERSIAL HIGHER LAST YEAR.

DO YOU THINK YOU SHOULD COME BACK AND WILL HE COME BACK?

>> I THINK YOU WILL.

I THINK HE ABSOLUTELY CAN IT GRABBED HIS TEAM AND PUSHOVER NEEDS TO GO.

REMEMBER, AS WE WERE STARTING THIS BASEBALL SEASON, DIFFERENT THAN ANY OTHER WITH THE PANDEMIC BEFORE IT, WE WERE IN A VERY DIFFERENT RHYTHM OF NEWS CYCLE AND WHAT NOT.

WHEN TONY WAS HIRED AS MANAGER, A LOT OF QUESTIONS CENTERED AROUND TIM ANDERSON, HIS EXUBERANT STYLE OF PLAY, RINGING US INTO MODERN BASEBALL HERE ON THE SOUTH SIDE.

HE HAS BEEN WELL RECEIVED BY FANS EVERYWHERE AROUND THE COUNTRY.

AND THE FIELD OF DREAMS GAME KIND OF PUT AN EXCLAMATION MARK ON THAT TOO.

BUT TONY FIGURED IT OUT.

THAT REALLY ROSE.

TO GIVE TIM ANDERSON AN ENDORSEMENT HERE, I THINK THAT MEANS A LOT TO.

I HOPE IT MEANS A LOT FOR SOX FANS TOO.

>> SO MAYBE TONY MODERNIZES IT AND ALLOWS HIS PLAYERS TO EXPRESS THEMSELVES WHERE IN THE PAST HE WAS SEEN AS KIND OF MORE OF A TASKMASTER.

MIKE FLANNERY, AS A LONG-SUFFERING SOX FAN, DO YOU THINK LARUSSO GOT THE MOST OUT OF THIS TEAM THAT HE COULD?

>> I WOULDN'T BLAME HIM FOR THE PITCHING FAILURE AND THE POWER OUTAGE THAT WE SUFFERED AT TIMES.

I WENT TO GAMES DURING THE REGULAR SEASON WHERE THAT HAPPENED.

THE TRUTH IS, THE AMERICAN LEAGUE CENTRAL WAS A DREADFUL DIVISION AND THE WHITE SOX ENDED UP FOR THE SECOND HALF OF THE SEASON THEY BUILT UP EARLY SUCH A HUGE LEAD THAT THEY NEVER PLAYED HIGH-PRESSURE GAMES IN JULY, AUGUST OR SEPTEMBER.

>> THEY PLAYED 500 BALL AFTER THE ALL-STAR BREAK AND THERE WAS A LOT OF WORRY THAT THEY WERE COASTING.

>> REMEMBER THAT 2005 TEAM THAT WON THE WORLD SERIES, THEY WENT INTO CLEVELAND JUST ONE GAME AHEAD.

CLEVELAND WAS IN THAT FINAL SEASON OF THE SEASON.

THERE WAS PRESSURE ON THEM IN WAYS THAT THERE WASN'T PRESSURE ON THIS BALLCLUB STUCK HAVE TO ASK ABOUT THE TEAM STILL IN THE PLAYOFFS, IN THE FINALS, THE CHICAGO -- WNBA FINALS.

CHRISTINE AND KAREN, YOU PLAN ON WATCHING GAME THREE TONIGHT AFTER WE ARE DONE TAPING HERE?

>> FIRST OFF CONGRATULATIONS TO THEM.

HOW LONG HAS IT BEEN?

WAY TOO LONG.

IT IS AMAZING TO SEE THE CITY GET BEHIND THIS TEAM BECAUSE IT IS WELL DESERVED.

AND THERE ARE SOME AMAZING STARS.

NOT ONLY DO YOU HAVE LOCAL TALENT BUT YOU ALSO HAVE LOCAL ARTISANS WHO WERE TREATING.

YOU HAVE CHANCE THE RAPPER WHO TWEETED OUT AND SAID, IF THEY TAKE IT I'M GOING TO GET A TATTOO.

HE DIDN'T SAY WHERE OR WHAT, HE DIDN'T SAY HELLO TO LOOK LIKE OR WHAT IT WOULD SAY.

BUT THAT IN ITSELF IS TELLING.

OBVIOUSLY IS THE ENTIRE CITY BEHIND IT HAS BEEN AMAZING.

>> LOOK LIKE THEY HAVE SOLD OUT WINCHESTER ARENA TONIGHT.

CONNOR, BEFORE WE RUN OUT OF TIME, WE HAVE TO ASK ABOUT THE PACKERS.

LATEST NEWS AS THE BACKUP RUNNING BACK DAMIEN WILLIAMS IS SIDELINED WITH COVID NOW.

DOES THAT MEAN HE IS DEFINITELY OUT FOR SUNDAY'S GAME?

>> YEAH, THAT'S WHAT LOOKED LIKE.

IT WILL BE KIND OF AN AMALGAM OF BACKUPS AND NAMES YOU HAVE NOT HEARD RUNNING THE BALL FOR THE CHICAGO BEARS.

I THINK FOCAL POINT OBVIOUSLY WILL BE JUSTIN FIELDS AND WHAT HE IS ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH.

BOTH OF THE DEFENSES, AT LEAST GREEN BAY DEFENSE, IS A LITTLE UNDERMANNED WITH INJURIES HAVE GONE TO THEM AS WELL.

IF YOU ARE LOOKING AT THE OVER IT IS PROBABLY NOT A TERRIBLE PLAY FOR YOUR WEEKEND.

BUT IT IS GOING TO BE SOMETHING WHERE YOU HAVE TO KEEP AARON RODGERS IN CHECK.

BELIEVE IT OR NOT, THE BEAR'S DEFENSE IS ACTUALLY GOT DONE A JOB KEEPING AARON RODGERS UNDER WRAPS.

IT IS BEEN THE SCORING POINTS THING THAT IS BEEN A PROBLEM.

BAD NEWS BEARS JUST ONE AND FIVE AGAINST THE PACKERS IN HIS CAREER YOU HAVE TO PUT POINTS ON THE BOARD ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE AT THE ONSET -- OFFENSIVE GUY WITH THE FOOTBALL.

>> DOES THAT MEAN THEY HAVE TO LET FIELD AIRED OUT MORE THAN THEY HAVE IN THE PAST FEW WEEKS?

>> I THINK THAT IS PART OF IT.

I THINK PLAYING SMART IS PART OF THE.

A LOT OF IF YOU HAVE WATCHED AARON RODGERS OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS HE HAS THE BALL OUT QUICKER, UNDER TO HAVE SECONDS.

THAT COULD BENEFIT.

THE GOOD NEWS THE BEARS OFFENSE OF LINE ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE IT CARES OVER THE LAST FEW WEEKS.

WHICH IS A GREAT WAY TO PLAY FOOTBALL.

JUST KIND OF CARING ABOUT IT AND PUTTING IN EFFORT FORTH.

THEY WILL MEET AGAINST LAS VEGAS AND THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS WE'LL SEE IF THAT CONTINUES.

>> YOU HAVEN'T BEEN MEAN YOU BEEN GREAT.

WE KNOW YOU ALL CARE ABOUT CHICAGO AND ABOUT THE WE CAN REVIEW.

WE ARE OUT OF TIME SO OUR THANKS TO KAREN JORDAN, CONOR MCKNIGHT, MIKE FLANNERY AND CHRISTINE FLOREZ.

>>> THAT IS OUR CHAUFFEUR THIS FRIDAY NIGHT.

NOW FOR THE WEEK IN REVIEW I'M PARIS SCHUTZ THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR WATCHING.

STAY HEALTHY AND SAFE AND HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND.
