.

>>> GOOD EVENING AND WELCOME TO THE WEEKEND REVIEW.

I'M PARIS.

WE'LL BE JOINED BY OUR WEEKEND GUEST IN A MOMENT BUT FIRST SOME OF TODAY'S TOP STORIES.

FAMILY.

FRIENDS.

LUMINARY SAY GOODBYE TO A CHICAGO CIVIL RIGHTS ICON.

THE CROWD GATHERED AT HYDE PARK FIRST UNITARIAN CHURCH TO UTILIZE AND PAY RESPECT TO KIM PLAQUE.

WHO DIED HAS WEEK AT THE AGE OF 102.

BLACK WAS A WORLD WERE 2 VETERAN.

FORMER PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHER.

CIVIL RIGHTS LEADER WHO MARCHED ALONGSIDE DR. KING AND HELPED ELECT CITY FIRST AFRICAN AMERICAN MAYOR HAROLD WASHINGTON.

>> THROUGH DECADES OF ACTIVISM, ORGANIZING AND EM POWERING YOUNGER GENERATIONS AND COUNTLESS CLASS ROOMS AND MEETINGS AND IN THE STREETS WITHOUT A DOUBT OUR CITY AND OUR WORLD IS A FAIRER AND MORE JUST PLACE BECAUSE OF HIS IMPACT.

>>Reporter: BLACK WAS ALSO A BELOVED CHICAGO HISTORIAN AND HE WAS HONORED TODAY AS YOU SAW BY MAYOR LIGHT FOOT.

COOK COUNTY BOARD PRESIDENT TONY, SENATOR DICK AND OTHER PUBLIC OFFICIALS WILL BE PRIVATE SERVICE TOMORROW AND THEN ANOTHER PUBLIC MEMORIAL AT ROCKEFELLER CHAPEL ON 75th.

MAYOR 16.$16.7 BILLION CITY SPENDING PLAN IS YET ANOTHER STEP CLOSER TO REALITY.

THE CITY COUNCIL BUDGET COMMITTEE PASSED THE MAN THAT USES ABOUT |.ABOUT 1)9 BILLION DOLLARS IN FEDERAL RELIEF MONEY TO PAY BACK SHORT-TERM BORROWING TO FILL BUDGET GAP DURING COVID-19 AND PROVIDE FOR SPENDING ON THINGS LIKE INCOMMITTEES HOUSING ASSISTANCE.

BUDGET COMMITTEE ALSO CAME ONE A PLAN TO CREATE SUB COMMITTEE OF ALL THE PERSONS THAT OVERSEE EXACTLY HOW THE 1.1.9 BILLION DOLLARS WILL BE ALLOCATED.

CITY COUNCIL IS TO TAKE UP THE BUDGET NEXT WEEK.

>>> CITY COUNCIL LATINO CAUCUS FLEXING THE MUSCLE TODAY AS THE 2020 CENSUS SHOW INCREASE IN CHICAGO LATINO POPULATION.

GILBERT RELEASED REDISTRICT PLAN FOR CHICAGO 50 WARD.

ONE THAT WOULD ADD 2 WARDS WHERE MAJORITY OF THE POPULATION IS LATINO AND 2 WARD WITH MAJORITY BLACK POPULATION.

HE SAYS THIS ACCURATELY REFLECTS THE DEMOGRAPHIC CHANGE IN THE CITY OVER THE LAST 10 YEARS.

BUT CITY KUNS BLACK CAUCUS MEMBERS CALLED THIS PLAN A NOON STARTER.

MORE ON THIS STORY ON OUR WEB SITE.

>>> AND NOW TO OUR WEEKEND REVIEW PANEL.

SQUONG US ARE MARIAH OF 91.91.5.

ERIC OF THE NEWS AND RACHEL AND CHICAGO SUN TIMES AND EVELYN OF ABC 7 CHICAGO.

GET RIGHT TO IT.

JUDGE ORDER FOR FOP PRESIDENT TO REFRAIN FROM SOUNDING OFF ON SOCIAL MEDIA ABOUT THE CITY'S VACCINE MANDATES.

THEN FIRST VICE PRESIDENT TOOK TO FACEBOOK TO COMPARE THIS STAND OFF TO THE HUNGER GAMES.

TAKE A LOOK.

>> WELCOME TODAY THEY OF THE HUNGER GAMES.

WHETHER WE FIND OUT WHO THE CITY IS GOING TO OFFER UP AS TRIBUTE.

>>Reporter: MARIAH LOTS OF BLUSTER.

LOTS OF THREATS.

A LOT OF POSTURING HERE.

AS WE FOE RIGHT NOW WHAT IS THE LATEST PERCENTAGE OF POLICE OFFICERS THAT HAVE COMPLIED WITH THE VACCINE PORTAL AND HOW MANY OFFICERS ARE ON KNOLL PAY STATUS?

>> I BELIEVE IT'S NEARING 70% OF OFFICERS WHO HAVE COMPLIEDMENT 68 AT THE LATEST NUMBER I SAW.

AS OF THIS MORNING 23 PERCENT I'M SORRY 23 OFFICERS HAVE BEEN PUT ON NO PAY STATUS.

HAVE BEEN SENT HOME.

SO YOU ARE LOOKING AT STILL MORE THAN 4000 OFFICERS WHO HAVEN'T COMPLIED WITH THE ORDER AND WHO ARE POTENTIALLY AT RISK OF GOING ON NO PAY STATUS IF THEY DON'T COMPLY WITH SUPERIORS TO UP LOAD THE DESK WHEN THEY GETTO WORK.

>>Reporter: A LOT OF STEPS HAPPEN WITH THE NO PAY STATUS THAT OCCURS HEATS SEE HOW IT PLAYS OUT OVER THE NEXT WEEK.

EVELYN THERE ARE COUNTER LAWSUITS OVER THIS BETWEEN THE FOP AND MAYOR LIGHT FOOT.

YOU FOLLOWED THE POURED HEARINGS.

WHAT HAPPENED?

>> WELL, IT'S DRAMA IT'S REALLY KIND OF LIKE DOWN PLAYING IT.

YOU HAVE THE BEING MAD UPSET BECAUSE HE BELIEVES HE WAS MUZZLED BY THE JUDGE SAYING HE COULDN'T PUT STUFF OUT ON SOCIAL MEDIA.

SAYING ACCUSING HER OF SOMETHING SOME SORT OF BIAS TO HIM BECAUSE OF HER RELATIONSHIP PAST WORK RELATIONSHIP WITH THE MAYOR.

OVER HERE THEN YOU HAVE THE ACTUAL TR O, RESTRAINING ORDER THAT THEY WON TO STOP THIS VACCINE REPORT MANDATE FROM GOING FORWARD.

BECAME AN ISSUE THERE.

WHICH JUDGE WAS GOING TO HEAR IT.

AND HAD A BECAME AN ISSUE.

THE JUDGE GETTING VERY UPSET EMOTIONAL ABOUT IT.

WANTING PEOPLE TO COME TOGETHERMENT ILL DO FEEL THE ANGST SO WHERE IT IS NOW IS YOU HAVE GOT THE DECISION THAT NOW THE INITIAL JUDGE WILL HEAR THIS ORDER AND THE ARGUMENTS ABOUT WHETHER THIS WILL GO FORWARD OR NOT.

BUT I THINK THAT LEGAL PRECEDENCE SO FAR HASN'T BEEN ON THEIR SIDE.

WE WILL SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

>>Reporter: THE JUNE SEEMS TO BE EXASPERATED AT ALL THE BACK AND FORTH SAYING HOW THIS SERVES POLICE INTEREST OR PUBLIC SAFETY INTEREST.

ERIC YOU GET A SENSE THAT THE POLICE DEPARTMENT CAN SUCCESSFULLY COAX SOME OF THE HOLD OUT TO DMRI WITH UP LOADING THEIR STATUS TO THIS PORTAL OR WILL CAT WIN THE DAY AND GET A LOT OF THEM TO CONTINUE TO RESIST?

>> IT SEEMS AS IF THEY ARE MOVING IN THAT DIRECTION.

SUPERINTENDENT BROWN SAID THAT HE BELIEVES THAT IT WOULD BE ABOUT 80 PERCENT COMPLIANCE BY MONDAY.

THE CITY AND DEPARTMENT IS DEFINITELY SLOW WALKING THIS.

THEY ARE NOT CALLING VERY MANY PEOPLE IN TO GET THIS DIRECT ORDER.

THEY ARE DEFINITELY NOT IN A RUSH TO TAKE OFF ZEROS OFF THE STREET.

THE BIGGER ISSUE HERE I THINK IS YOU HAVE CAT AND MAYOR LIGHT FOOT AND NEITHER ONE OF THEM, THEY BOTH PAINTED THEMSELVES IN A CORNER AND NEITHER CAN LOSE POLITICALLY I THINK ESPECIALLY FOR THE MAYOR.

I THINK THAT IS A HUGE PART OF THIS.

THE MAYOR JUST CAN'T BACK DOWN AT THIS POINT.

AND HE BELIEVES THAT HE'S GOING, HE HAS TO KEEP GOING ON THIS.

HE DOES BELIEVE THAT HIS OFFICERS WILL HOLD THE LINE.

BUT AS THIS CONTINUES, WE ARE STARTING TO SEE MORE AND MORE OFFICERS WHEN THEY DO GET CALLED IN THAT THEY ARE ENTERING THEIR VACCINATION STATUS.

SO AS THE CITY CONTINUES TO SLOW PLAY THIS, I FORESEE IF IT KEEPS GOING THIS DIRECTION THAT THEY ARE GOING TO SEE COMPLIANCE CONTINUE TO RISE IN THE DEPARTMENT.

BUT BOTH SIDES ARE DUG IN SO DEEP HERE THAT IT IS ILL HARD TO BELIEVE THAT ANY TYPE OF AN AGREEMENT WILL BE REACHED UNTIL A JUDGE SAYS THIS IS WHAT IT IS.

SHORT OF THAT I JUST, I DON'T SEE THE 2 SIDES COMING TOGETHER.

>>Reporter: SEEMS LIKE THIS IS MORE ABOUT THEIR INDIVIDUAL PADDLE WITH EACH OTHER WHICH GO BACK PRETTY FAR VERSUS HOW TO JUST COME TO SOME KIND OF CONSENSUS TO GET THINGS GOING AGAIN.

RACHEL, IS THERE THIS MUCH ACRIMONY WITH OTHER PUBLIC 81 AND CITY OR OTHER PUBLIC GUN AND THE STATE OVER VACCINE MANDATE.

>> NOT PUBLICLY.

FOP AND MAYOR LIGHT FOOT PUBLIC BATTLES HAVE BEEN, THEY HAVE GARNERED HEADLINES OVER THE YEARS, OVER THE COURSE OF HER FIRST TERM.

PET LARGE UNION IS CURRENTLY STILL IN NEGOTIATIONS WITH THE STATE ON THE VACCINE MANDATE THERE.

BUT YOU DON'T SEE THEM MAKING HEADLINES OR MAKING THE ROUNDS IN THE SAME WAY THAT YOU SEE CAT AND HIT FOOT SPARRING EVERY DAY EVERY OTHER DAY IN THE SAME WAY THAT THEY DO.

I WOULD SAY THAT THE STATE SEEMS TO BE MOVING CLOSER AND CLOSER TO GETTING MORE PEOPLE, WHO ARE EMPLOYEES VACCINATED.

CITY IS DOING PRETTY WELL ON THE FRONT BUT OBVIOUSLY THESE PUBLIC SPAT REALLY MAKE PEOPLE QUESTION THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO ARE BEING VACCINATED.

>>Reporter: RIGHT.

THERE ARE A LOT OF CITY AGENCY THAT ARE SHOWING PRETTY HIGH COMPLIANCE IN THE PUBLIC SAFETY AGENCY IN THE CITY SEEM 0SHOW RELATIVELY THE LOWEST AMONG ALL OF THEM.

THERE ARE A PAW OLDER PEOPLE THAT FILED AN ORDINANCE SUPPORTING POLICE OFFICERS SAYING THE MAYOR SHOULD NOT HAVE THIS POWER TO PUT THEM IN A NO PAY STATUS OVER SACHS MANDATES OR PROTOCOLS.

NOT A VACCINE MANDATE.

YOU HAVE TO UP LED YOUR STATUS WHETHER VACCINATED OR NOT TO THE PORTAL.

DOES THIS ORDINANCE HAVE ANY LEG.

>> NOT CONCERNING TO THE MAYOR WHO SAID QUOTE IT WON'T SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY WHEN SHE TALKED ABOUT IT THIS PAST WEEK AND HAD REALLY HARSH CRITICISM FOR ONE OF THE ALDERMEN WHO INTRODUCED IT.

IT'S GOING TO PROBABLY GET IN INTRODUCED ON HONORED AND MY GUESS IS THAT THIS BE SENT TO RULES COMMITTEE WHERE ORGANIZERS WILL GO AND SIT AND WAIT FOR A HEARING AS LONG AS AND UNTIL THE ALDERMEN WHO RUN THE RULES COMMITTEE WANT TO BRING IT BACK UP.

BUT YOU ARE RIGHT THAT IT WITH NULLIFY THE VACCINE MANDATE AND THEN REQUIRE CITY COUNCIL TO VOTE FOR SIMILAR MANDATE IN THE FUTURE.

THAT WOULD PUT EMPLOYEE ON NO PAY STATUS FOR NOT COMPLYING.

>>Reporter: I WANT 0TALK ABOUT THE CITY BUDGET AS WE MENTIONED TODAY.

IT'S ONE STEP CLOSER TO BECOMING REALITY.

16.$16.7 BILLION SPENDING PLAN.

EVELYN THERE IS SOME MINISTERS THAT SAY SOME OF THE FEDERAL MONEY COMING IN HERE SHOULD BE SPENT MR. TOWARD CRIME PRE-ESSENTIAL.

TELL US ABOUT WHAT THEY ARE ARGUING.

>> YES.

I DON'T THINK IT'S CONCEPT IS NEW.

WHAT THEY ARE SAYING IS SIMPLY THIS.

LOOK, GUN VIOLENCE IS AN EPIDEMIC AND IT IS A PUBLIC HEALTH PROBLEM.

SO THEREFORE YOU CAN'T POLICE YOUR WAY OUT OF THIS.

YOU HAVE TO ADJUST HOW THE POLICING IS DONE.

YOU HAVE TO ENGAGE IN THE COMMUNITY.

YOU HAVE TO INVEST IN MENTAL HEALTH.

CREATING PEACE CIRCLES, CHANGE THE DYNAMIC OF NEIGHBORHOODS.

YOU HAVE TO ADDRESS THE FUNDAMENTAL UNDERLYING ISSUE THAT ARE BRINGING ABOUT THIS VIOLENCE.

NOW THE INTERESTING PART ABOUT THIS IS THEY ARE REALLY CALLING OUT, NOT CALLING OUT THE MAYOR BUT THEMSELVES AND ALSO THE ALDERMEN.

THEY ARE SAYING LOOK WE ARE IN AND YOU KNOW IN BLACK COMMUNITIES AND WAY BACK EVEN BEFORE THE CIVIL WAR, CHURCHES IN THE MOST FUNDAMENTAL WAY WERE REALLY A PLACE OF NOT JUST FAITH BUT ALSO THEY WITH HIGHLY POLITICAL.

THAT'S WHETHER MANY OF THESE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENTS GOT STARTED IN THE CHURCH.

>>Reporter: SO DO MANY MAYOR CAMPAIGN AND ALDERMEN CAMPAIGN.

>> ABSOLUTELY.

THAT'S WHERE YOU GET THE CONSTITUENT.

SITTING IN THE PEW YOU GO THERE.

SO THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT THAT.

THEY ARE ALSO SAYING LISTEN WE HAVE CONSTITUENT IN YOUR CHURCHES IN OUR SANCTUARY WHO VOTE.

SO WE NEED TO CALL OUT THE ALDERMEN LETTING THE LIQUOR STORE COMING IN AND TAKE MONEY OUT OF THE COMMUNITY AND NOT REINVESTING IN THE PROJECT.

>>Reporter: PART OF THIS IS ONE TIME OPPORTUNITY WHERE THE FEDS SHOWER 1.1.9 BILLION DOLLARS IN CASH BECAUSE OF COVID-19.

ERIC THIS WAS SOME -- GO AHEAD EVELYN.

>> I WAS GOING TO SAY BUT UNDERSTAND.

WHAT THEY WANT IS THEY WANT SOMETHING BEYOND WHAT THE FEDS ARE OFFERING.

THEY WANT A COMMITMENT FROM LIGHT FOOT AND FOLLOWING ADMINISTRATION WHETHER HER OR SOMEBODY ELSE TAKE THEY ARE GOING TO COMMIT 100 MILLION DOLLARS TO REALLY BEING ABLE TO DEAL WITH THIS GUN VIOLENCE ISSUE BECAUSE THEY COMPARE IT TO COVID-19.

IF THIS IS COVID-19 LOOK WHAT YOU DID FOR COVID-19.

THIS IS WHAT YOU NEED TO DID FOR GUN VIOLENCE.

>>Reporter: NOTHING ELSE IS WORKING.

THIS MONEY IN FEDERAL MONEY THERE WAS CONSTERNATION AMONG PROGRESSIVE THAT IT WASN'T GOING TO PRESIDENT OBAMA TO ASSIST CHICAGO AND TOO MUCH TO PAY DOWN DEBT INCURRED BY THE CITY UNDER COVID-19.

DOES THIS BUDGET LINK LAKE IT'S PRIM FOR PASS ANNUAL.

>> EVERYTHING THAT I HAVE READ FROM WHAT HAPPENED THIS AFTERNOON IS LOOKING THAT WAY.

THAT IT IS GOING TO PASS WHEN IT COMES UP NEXT WEEK.

I THINK THE VOTE WAS SOMETHING LIKE 25-7.

I'M NOT HAVE YOU EVER ABOUT THAT EXACT NUMBER THIS BUT IT SAILED THROUGH THE BUDGET COMMITTEE AND YOU HAVE A LOT OF PROGRESSIVE THAT WERE OUT THERE TALKING ABOUT THIS SAYING YES WE WOULD HAVE HIKED MORE HERE OR THERE BUT THIS WAS A BUDGET THAT WE WERE ABLE OR PUBLICLY WERE ABLE TOO WORK WITH THE MAYOR ON TO GET A LOT OF WHAT THEY HAVE BEEN FIGHTING FOR, FOR THE HAS SEVERAL CUSTOMERS HERE INTO THE BUDGET.

A LOT BECAUSE OF THE FEDERAL MONEY COMING IN.

BUT IT LOOKS LIKE IT IS GOING TO PASS.

>>Reporter: ALL RIGHT.

THERE WAS A BIT OF A TUSSLE OR WAR OF WORDS THIS WEEK BETWEEN THE OUTGOING INSPECTOR GENERAL FERGUSON AND MAYOR LIGHT FOOT.

LIGHT FOOT WEEK AFTER PRAISING HIM IN EDITORIAL CALLED HIM ASPECT ON THE REAR-VIEW MIRROR.

MARIAH WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THIS BACK AND FORTH.

>> I THINK THAT IT'S A HUGE CHANGE FROM HER TONE JUST LAST FRIDAY WHEN SHE SAID THAT FERGUSON HELPED PAVE THE WAY TO BRIGHT ARE MORE TRANSPARENT FEW.

SHE CALLED HIM ASPECT ON THE WIND SHELLED LAKE YOU SAID.

SHE EQUIPPED AND ASKED WHO I WAS TALK PENTAGON WHEN I POSE ADD QUESTION ABOUT FERGUSON AT PRESS CONFERENCE EARLY THIS WEEK.

THEY SEEM TO HAVE, RELATIONSHIP HAS SOURED OVER THE MAYOR TIME IN OFFICE.

SHE ALSO SENT A MESSAGE TO THE FUTURE INSPECTOR GENERAL.

OF COURSE FORMER INSPECTOR FERGUSON NOT REPLACED YET.

HOPES THERE IS AN INDEPENDENT INSPECTOR GENERAL WHO WILL STAY IN ALREADY LANE.

I'M NOT SURE WHAT TO MAKE OF THAT BECAUSE IT SEEMS IT'S OUT MORE SPECIFIC ON WHAT THE MAYOR IS REFERRING TO.

>>Reporter: THE LANE IS TO INVESTIGATE THE MAYOR'S OFFICE AND CITY COUNCIL.

>> CORRECT.

CORRECT.

SO IT SEEMS TO ME SEND A VAGUE MESSAGE TO THE FUTURE INSPECTOR SCENE THAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHO THAT IS HELPING.

>>Reporter: I'LL SAY THIS.

THE INSPECTOR GENERAL CRITICISM DOING A REPORT ON FALL OUT FROM THE YOUNG RAID AND BASICALLY HE SAID THAT MAYOR LIGHT FOOT DID NOT COOPERATE WITH THIS PROBE AND IN FACT STONE WALLED HIM GETTING TO THE BOTTOM OF WHAT THE MAYOR KNEW AND RACHEL YOU GET THE OPINION THAT WE'LL NEVER SEE THIS REPORT AND WHAT THE INSPECTOR GENERAL FOUND HERE?

>> THAT'S LIKELY.

I THINK GOING OFF WHETHER WAS DISCUSS SAID I THINK LIGHT FOOT COMMENTED IN RESPONSE TO HIM SAYING HER OFFICE, HER ADMINISTRATION LACKS CORE COMPETENCE OF GOVERNANCE.

SO I THINK WE HAVE SEEN IN PREVIOUS THINGS WHERE PEOPLE TAKE A SHOT AT HEIGHT FOOT.

SHE COMES PACKAGE KIND OF HARD.

SO I'M NOT REALLY SURE WHAT TO MAKE OF IT.

AS MARIA SAID BUT I THINK IT'S IT'S LIKELY WHY SHE'S NOW CALLING HIM ASPECT IN THE REAR-VIEW MIRROREN THOUGH SHE PRAISED HIM IN THE PAPERS.

WHETHER OR NOT THIS IS IN A REPORT IT'S STILL TO BE SEEN.

I'M HOPEFUL WE WILL BUT HOPEFUL THAT WILL HAPPEN ANY TIME SOON.

>>Reporter: WELL SOMETHING THAT ALSO HAPPENED THIS WEEK WITH EM PLTSED WARD ALDERMAN GARDNER HE HELD A PUBLIC MEETING OVER ZOOM AND KICKED OUT MEMBERS THAT HE SAW SEEMED TO BE TOO CRITICAL OF HIM.

ERIC, IS THERE A VIOLATION OF OPEN MEETING POLICY HERE OR DISCUSS ALDERMAN ACTING A LITTLE THIN-SKINNED.

>> I WOULD THINK IT'S PROBABLY THE LATTER.

MY UNDERSTANDING OF THE VIOLATION OF OPEN MEETING IS THAT OFFICIAL BUSINESS NEEDS TO BE DONE.

THIS WAS A CONSTITUENT MEETING FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND AND DIDN'T LIKE THE QUESTIONS HE WAS GETTING THAT HAD TO DO WITH OBVIOUSLY SOME OF HIS COMMENTS.

SOME OF THE THREATS, PERCEIVED THREATS THAT HAVE BEEN MADE TO CONSTITUENT.

HE HASN'T BEEN VERY PUBLIC ABOUT ANY OF THISMENT THIS IS ONE OF THE FIRST PUBLIC MEETINGS SINCE ALL THE NEWS BROKE OTHER THAN THE APOLOGY THAT HE MADE AT CITY HALL.

AS A JOURNALIST OF COURSE YOU WANT ACCESS TO EVERY MEETING.

I DON'T KNOW.

I THINK THERE'S A LOT OF GRAY AREA WHETHER OR NOT IT'S A VIOLATION.

>>Reporter: RIGHT.

HE CERTAINLY HASN'T BEEN PUBLIC BECAUSE A LOT OF FOLK HERE THEN THIS CALL HAVE BEEN TRYING TO TRACK THE ALDERMAN DO YOU TO NO AVAIL TO COMMENT ON THIS.

FORM ARE CHICAGO MAYOR IMMANUEL APPEARED BEFORE THE SENATE FOREIGN RELATION COMMITTEE THIS WEEK IN HIS BID TO BECOME U.S.

AMBASSADOR TO WHY PAN.

HERE'S WHAT HE SAID ABOUT McDONALD.

>> I SAID THEN I'M THE MAYOR AND I'M RESPONSIBLE AND ACCOUNTABLE FOR FIXING THIS SO THIS NEVER HAPPENS AGAIN.

TO BE HONEST THERE'S NOT A DAY OR WEEK THAT HAS GONE BY IN THE LAST SEVEN YEARS I HAVEN'T THOUGHT ABOUT THIS AND THOUGHT ABOUT THE "WHAT-IF".

>>Reporter: HE HAVE LICENSE OKAY A LOT OF FOLK THAT DON'T WANT THE FORMER MAYOR TO GET THE POSITION BECAUSE OF WHAT HAPPENED WITH McDONALD.

DO YOU THINK THAT COULD DERAIL CONFIRMATION.

>> I REALLY DON'T THINK IT WILL TO BE HONEST.

IT DOES GIVE YOU AN INDICATION THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE STILL BELIEVE THAT I MANUAL KNEW EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED AND HE'S PART OF A COVERUP.

TRIED TO SQUASH IT.

KEEP IT QUIET AND DOESN'T REALLY MATTER WHAT HE SAYS THAT IS WHAT THEY BELIEVEMENT THEY WILL POINT TO WHATEVER KIND OF EVIDENCE THEY HAVE, THEY FOUND WHATEVER THE TRAIL IS AND THAT'S WHAT THEY BELIEVE.

BECAUSE REELECTION CAREER FOR HIM.

A LOT OF THINGS GOING ON AND REMEMBER SOMETHING.

DURING THAT TIME WHEN ALL THE FALL OUT CAME, THOSE FOLK UP IMPORTANT REELECTION WHO COULDN'T GET OUT OF THE WAY, THEY WERE NOT SUCCESSFUL IN THEIR CAMPAIGN.

THE ONES THAT WERE NOT UP FOR REELECTION MANAGE TO STIR THROUGH AND GIFT FROM IT.

STILL A VERY LOT PEDESTRIAN ISSUE.

IT SPEAKS TO THE OVER ALL I THINK ANGST IN THE COMMUNITY.

IT SEEKS TO THE ANGST OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN POLICE AND PEOPLE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND SPEAKS TO DISTRUST.

GENERAL DISTRUST OF GOVERNMENT AND GENERAL DISTRUST OF PROCESS.

AND PEOPLE ARE JUST ANGRY.

THEY ARE TIRED.

SCARED.

>>Reporter: GO DOWN MEMORY LICENSE.

THE MAYOR DID FIGHT THE RELEASE OF THE DASH CAM VIDEO THIS SHOWED THE MURDER.

AFTER COURT BATTLES AND THIS WAS AFTER THE MAYOR REELECTION THE MAYOR DID HAVE TO RELEASE THAT.

HE WAS COMPELLED 0RELEASE THAT VIDEO.

WE KNOW WHAT HAPPENED AFTER THATMENT THE MAYOR WENT ON POLITICAL CAMPAIGN HERE CONSULTING WITH STRT GIST AND LOBBYING SENATOR TO MAKE SURE TO GET THIS APPOINTMENT.

SHADES OF THE OLD KIND OF POLITICAL STRATEGIST HERE?

>> QUESTIONMENT SO I THINK THAT HE TRIED, HE SUCK MY GOT A COUPLE OF LETTERS OF SUPPORT THAT LOOKED GOOD.

SENATORS WHO MAYBE AREN'T AS COMMITTEEED INTO THE COMMUNITY OF CHICAGO AS WE ALL ARE AND AS CHICAGOANS ARE.

8 ALTER MEN SIGNED THE LETTER OF SUPPORT.

FROM THE BLACK CAUCUS.

WHEN I ASKED THEM FOR A COPY OF THE LETTER THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T HAVE IT AND REFERRED ME TO LOCAL CENTRAL GIST WHO THEY HAVE WORKED WITH BUT ALSO WHO WORKED WITH RONNY MANUAL IN THE PAST.

HE ALSO GOT A LETTER FROM THE UNCLE M HUNTER WHO GOT A LOT OF BACKLASH FROM ACTIVIST HERE IN WRITING THE LETTER OF SUPPORT.

IT'S A PERSPECTIVE OF ONE PERSON AND HUNT BE REPRESENTATIVE OF THE PEOPLE WHO FELT THE PAIN OF THIS FOR THE PAST SEVEN YEARS.

BUT HUNTER SAID HE HAS NO WRONG AND OVER THE YEARS PRAYED WITH HIM AND WASN'T THE ONE WHO FIRST THE GUN AND STRONG WORDS OF SUPPORT THAT WERE SUBMITTED.

>> ALL RIGHT LET'S MOVE ON TO SOME STATES BUSINESS.

SO RACHEL HINTON, THE DEMOCRATS RELEASED AT LONG AS THEIR NEW REDAWN CONGRESSIONAL MAPS.

TRYING TO SORT OF GET RID OF SOME REPUBLICANS.

BUT IT GOT BACKLASH FROM DEMOCRAT THEMSELVES.

WHY SHAH?

>>Reporter: DEMOCRATS REPRESENTATIVE LAUREN UNDERWOOD AND REPRESENTATIVE MAY RENEW MAN PUT IN THE SWING CONTRADICT.

UNDERWOOD REPRESENTS A DISTRICT THAT WAS HELD BY REPUBLICANS FOR A LONG TIME.

SAME WITH M RENEW MAN, NOT EXACTLY THE SAME, INCUMBENT SHE DEFEATED HE WAS BASICALLY A WHO HAD RAT.

BOTH OF THEM ARE WORRIED THAT THE DISTRICT THAT THE STATE LEGISLATORS CREATED BASICALLY ARE SWING DISTRICTS.

THAT THERE IS VERY REAL CHANCE THEY COULD LOSE IN THE 2022 ELECTION.

>>Reporter: THEY CREATED THOSE DISTRICTS THAT WAY THOUGH.

>> THIS IS THE FIRST DRAFT.

NOT THE FINAL PRODUCT.

THEY WANTED TO GET SOME REACTION.

THEY WANTED TO HEAR SOME PEOPLE.

I HEARD THAT MARIE WASN'T INVOLVED IN THE PROCESSOR AS INVOLVED AS THEY MAY BE FOR THIS.

>>Reporter: PROBABLY WILL BE NOW.

>> THAT'S FOR SURE.

I THINK THAT THIS IS A WAY TO GAUGE INTEREST.

TO GAUGE RESPONSES.

OBVIOUSLY IT'S NOT GREAT TO GET PEOPLE YELLING AT YOU.

TO GET PEOPLE TAKING TO THE MEDIA TO RESPOND TO A MAP YOU HAVE DRAWN BUT THE BEST IS ABSURD.

14 DEMOCRAT.

REPUBLICAN FIGHT WITH EACH OTHER.

I DON'T THINK THE DEMOCRAT THEY CAN'T FIGHT WITH EACH OTHER.

THEY CAN'T STAND TO WHOSE ANY OF THEIR MAJORITY.

ANY OF THE EEK RECEIPT THEY HAVE IN THE HOUSE IF THEY WHOSE I THINK THE HOUSE HAS 3 DEMOCRAT MAJORITY.

GIVEN PRESIDENT BIDEN AGENDA THEY NEED EVERY DEMOCRAT THEY CAN GET.

>>Reporter: RIGHT.

>> SO I THINK THE SECOND WILL PA IT INTO ACCOUNT AND WE'LL SEE REPUBLICANS MAYBE GET POKED IN THE EYE.

>> IS THIS IS MORE A TRIAL.

THE MAJORITY IS TENUOUS AND MANY LOTS OF REDISTRICT HAPPENING IN REPUBLICAN STATES.

LET'S TALK ABOUT FUN NEWS.

CHICAGO SKY.

PEST PROFESSIONAL TEAM IN CHICAGO WORLD CHAMPION.

ERIC TAKE US TO THE RALLY AND THAT PARADE THIS WEEK WHAT WAS IT LIKE OUT THERE.

>> I HAVE TO TELL YOU.

DAY-TO-DAY WE DON'T GET TO COVER THINGS LIKE THIS.

SO THIS WAS VERY, VERY EXCITING AND IT WAS JUST FUN TO DO AND I THINK PROBABLY THE MOST SPECIAL PART ABOUT IT WAS THAT CHICAGO DID COME OUT.

WE DIDN'T SEE NUMBERS LIKE THE MACK HAWK OR THE CUBS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

NO ONE EXPECTED THAT I DON'T THINK.

BUT PEOPLE DID COME OUT.

FINAL TOTAL WAS UP AROUND 4700 BUT THE THING WAS REALLY SPECIAL FOR ME IS WE GOT OUT AT 10:PROVE ON MICHIGAN AVENUE WAITING FOR THE PARADE TO COME DOWN AND CROWD SPARSE.

AT 11:00 O'CLOCK THEY REALLY STARTED TO FILL IN.

HERE'S THE THING THAT WAS REALLY SPECIAL.

IT WAS FATHER AND DADS AND MOTHER AND DAUGHTER AND FAMILY THAT HAD COME DOWN TO SEE THIS AND I TALKED TO ONE MOTHER.

WHY DID YOU BRING YOUR FIFTH GRADER.

WHY PULL HER OUT OF SCHOOL FOR THIS.

IT'S IMPORTANT SHE SAID.

SHE NEEDS TO SEE THAT WOMEN WILMINGTON CHAIRMANSHIP IS JUST AS IMPORTANT.

WE HAVE TO COME DOWN HERE AND SUPPORT THEM AND CHICAGO DID COME DOWN.

THEY SUPPORTED THEM AND IT WAS A LOT OF FUN.
