>>> WELCOME TO THE WEEK IN REVIEW.

I'M EDDIE ARRUZA FOR THE POLICE SHOOTING THE SOUTH SHORE MAN IN THE COMMUNITY AND BECOMES A MAJOR POLITICAL ISSUE.>> THEY WAS HIT IN PEOPLE.

IT WAS HITTING EVERYBODY.

>>Eddie: POLICE ON FOOT PATROL SHOOT AND KILL A 37-YEAR-OLD BARBARA AND THE SOUTH SHORE NEIGHBORHOOD, SPARKING VIOLENT PROTESTS AND RENEWED QUESTIONS ABOUT POLICE PROTOCOL.

MARY MANUAL MEANWHILE SEEKS TO QUELL THE BACKLASH.

>> TAKE A STEP BACK AND HEAR EACH OTHER.

>>Eddie: LOCAL POLITICIANS REACTOR PRESIDENT TRUMP'S WIDELY CRITICIZED MEETING WITH RUSSIAN PRESIDENT GLOVER PUTIN.

>> WE SHOULD NOT BE DEFENDING RUSSIAN'S BEHAVIOR.

HE IS A BRUTAL DICTATOR.

>>Eddie: JUST DAYS BEFORE, AND A ROUTER PLAYS THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION WHILE INTRODUCING VICE PRESIDENT MIKE PENCE AT A ROSEMONT RALLY.

A $5 BILLION DEVELOPMENT WITH SKYSCRAPERS AND THOUSANDS OF HOMES IS PROPOSED FOR LINKING YARD FOR THE ORGANIZER OF THE DAN RYAN SHUTDOWN ASKED WHERE THE VISION IS FOR THE CITY SOUTH AND WEST SIDES.

CHANCE THE RAPPER/MEDIA MOGUL, THE CHICAGO ARTIST BUYS THE CHICAGO NEWS WEBSITE AND SEND A WARNING TO THE MAYOR IN A NEW SONG.

AND IN SPORTS, COMES WILL SINK AND TRANSMITS HISTORY OF THE ALL-STAR GAME WILL DOUBLE SIGN CHICAGO NATIVE JABARI PARKER WAS ONCE THOUGHT OF AS A FUTURE NBA SUPERSTAR.

>>> JOINING US OUR KANE FARABAUGH VOICE OF AMERICA, LEAH HOPE OF ABC 7 CHICAGO, LAURA WASHINGTON OF THE CHICAGO SUN-TIMES AND ABC 7 IN SPORTS JOURNALIST TRENT EIGHT.

FIRST TONIGHT, POLICE QUICKLY RELEASE ONE BODY CAMERA VIDEO OF THE CUSTIS SHOOTING BUT ACTIVIST DEMAND MORE.

AFTER THREE NIGHTS OF PROTESTS IN THE SOUTH SHORE NEIGHBORHOOD, THE DEMONSTRATED GOOD MANUALS ON THE DOORSTEP.

THE MAYOR MEANWHILE SAYS THE SHOOTING IS A TEACHABLE MOMENT FOR THE CITY AND THE POLICE UNIT BLASTS THE MEDIUM AND THE MAYOR.

I KNOW YOU HAVE BEEN COVERING THIS AS WE MENTIONED PUT OFFICERS ON FOOT PATROL DOWN THERE.

THEY HAVE BEEN REQUESTED BY THE COMMUNITY TO TRY TO CURB CRIME AND PERHAPS THAT'S WHAT THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE DOING WHEN ALL WENT HORRIBLY WRONG.

WHAT ARE YOU HEARING ON THE STREET ON THE QUICK.

>>Guest: THIS ALSO COMES WITH A HISTORY OF LAQUAN McDONALD, WITH JASON VAN DYCK ON TRIAL FOR THE SHOOTING LAQUAN McDONALD.

>>Eddie: THAT'S COMING UP THIS SUMMER.

>>Guest: EXACTLY.

THE TRIAL WAS SET FOR SEPTEMBER 5.

SO THERE IS A LOT OF RECENT HISTORY THAT HAS BROUGHT SOME OF THESE SIMMERING TENSIONS TO A BOIL QUITE FRANKLY.

SO WHEN THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED AND THIS HAPPENED DURING THE DAY, THIS WAS SOMEBODY THAT PEOPLE KNEW ALONG 71ST STREET, AND SO PEOPLE WERE UPSET.

THEY DIDN'T KNOW ALL THE CIRCUMSTANCES BUT WHAT THE VISUAL WAS FROM THOSE WHO WERE PASSING BY WAS HERE IS AN AFRICAN-AMERICAN MAN, A BUSINESSMAN, WORKS IN THE AREA, LIVES IN THE AREA AND SURROUNDED BY MOSTLY CAUCASIAN OFFICERS.

IN SOME FATALLY SHOT.

SO THE OPTICS OF IT CREATED, BROUGHT THE SUMMER UP TO A BOIL REALLY QUICKLY.

WHAT WAS EXTRAORDINARY HAVING THIS VIDEO RELEASED JUST A DAY AFTER, THAT WAS REALLY EXTRAORDINARY.

SO OBVIOUSLY WE HAVE SEEN CHANGES, WE HAVE SEEN KIND OF AN EVOLUTION OF COMMUNITY POLICE RELATIONS, ESPECIALLY SINCE LAQUAN McDONALD.

BUT FOR SO MANY PEOPLE IN BLACK BROWN COMMUNITIES IN WHICH I AND MY MOM, SOME PEOPLE SEE THE SAME PATTERN REPEATING ITSELF.

SO EVEN THOUGH THE VIDEO SHOWS THAT TERESA HAD A GUN, HAD A CLIP, HE HAD A FIREARM ON HER IDENTIFICATION CARD, EVEN THOUGH WE KNOW THAT NOW, PEOPLE ARE STILL ON EDGE.

>>Eddie: VIDEO HASN'T DONE ANYTHING TO APPEASE THE CRITICS AND THE PROTESTERS.PARTLY BECAUSE IT HAS NO AUDIO ON IT.

THAT'S A TECHNOLOGICAL ISSUE WITH THESE BODY CAMERAS.

THE FACT IT WAS RELEASED AND IT APPEARED TO SHOW THAT THIS YOUNG MAN MIGHT HAVE BEEN REACHING FOR HIS GUN, IT'S UNCLEAR WHAT THE INTERACTION WAS, BUT WHAT WARM DOES THE CITY NEED TO DO IN TERMS OF TRANSPARENCY TO GET AHEAD OF THESE INCIDENTS?

>>Guest: I THINK IT WILL BE DIFFICULT TO GET AHEAD OF THIS PARTICULAR IS TO UNTIL THE INVESTIGATION IS COMPLETE.

WHAT LEAH IS TALKING ABOUT IS A LACK OF TRUST IN THE COMMUNITY.

THERE IS A LACK OF TRUST IN IMMANUEL AND WHATEVER HE SAID AND DOESN'T SAY BECAUSE WHAT HAPPENED WITH THE LAQUAN McDONALD CASE.

THERE IS A LACK OF TRUST WITH EDDIE JOHNSON BECAUSE THERE'S A FEELING HE SITES TOO OFTEN WITH POLICE OFFICERS.

EVEN IN TERMS OF DISCUSSION ABOUT HIM RELEASING THE TAPE, PEOPLE ARE SAYING WELL, HE IS DOING THIS TO SERVE HIS PURPOSES.

IT IS NOT BECAUSE HE WANTED TO QUELL ALL THE TENSION ON THE STREET BECAUSE HE WANTED TO SORT OF MESSAGE THAT NOTHING WRONG HAD HAPPENED HERE.

AND THEN YOU HAVE GARY McCARTHY, THE FORMER POLICE SUPERINTENDENT IS OUT THERE SAYING I THINK THAT OFFICERS CONDUCTED THEMSELVES PROPERLY AND IN THIS CASE IS A TERRIBLE THING BUT THIS IS THE WAY IT WENT DOWN.

THERE IS A LACK OF TRUST, THERE IS A LACK OF INFORMATION AND THAT FUELS THAT LACK OF TRUST.

>>Guest: THEY RELEASED THE TAPE BECAUSE THEY HAD TO RELEASE THE TAPERING LORE IS ABSOLUTELY CORRECT.

THEY HAD NO CHOICE.

AFTER THE LAQUAN McDONALD FIASCO THEY HAD RELEASED THE TAPE.

THIS IS NOT A SIGN OF REFORM, IS A SIGN OF A REELECTION BID BY THE MAYOR.

NO QUESTION ABOUT IT.

EVERYBODY WHO IS WATCHING WOULD UNDERSTAND THAT.

>>Guest: THAT'S WHAT IS INTERESTING ABOUT THIS IS YOU HAVE SEEN HOW, WHETHER IT'S A MERRILL CANDIDATE, WHETHER IT'S COMMUNITY ACTIVISTS, YOU HAVE SEEN HOW PEOPLE HAVE TAKEN THIS INCIDENT FOR THEIR OWN AGENDA.

>>Eddie: WHAT IS YOUR REACTION TO THIS?

ESPECIALLY THE MAYOR'S REACTION WHEN WE HEARD HIM SAY WE NEED TO TAKE A STEP BACK, NEED TO STOP SHOUTING OVER EACH OTHER, WE NEED TO LISTEN TO EACH OTHER?

>>Guest: YOU KNOW I THINK THAT IS THE OBJECTIVE REASONING THAT THE MAYOR IS TRYING TO INSTILL AMONG ALL THE PARTIES INVOLVED IN THIS.

THE REALITY OF THE SITUATION IS EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE RELEASED THE VIDEO, THE COMPLETE VIDEO HASN'T BEEN RELEASED AND OTHER VIDEOS RELATED TO IT ON OTHER OFFICERS , THERE COULD EVEN BE SOMEONE VIDEO WE HAVEN'T SEEN YOU.

THERE IS NOT A TOTALITY OF UNDERSTANDING OF THE SITUATION.

ON ALL SIDES I THINK THE CALL FOR CALM AND THE CALL FOR RECENT AND TAKE A STEP BACK AND LOOKING AT THAT IS ACCURATE AND ALSO THE INVESTIGATION.

>>Guest: THAT'S REALLY HARD TO TELL PEOPLE WHO HAVE SEEN THIS HAPPEN AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN.

THERE HAVE BEEN THREE POLICE RELATED SHOOTING OF AFRICAN-AMERICAN MEN IN THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS AND THERE ARE LOTS OF QUESTIONS ABOUT ALL OF THEM.

IT IS TRUE, THE INVESTIGATION HAS TO BE COMPLETE.

I THINK THIS WILL BE COMPLETED A LOT MORE QUICKLY THE PAST ONES HAVE BEEN COMPLETED BUT PEOPLE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO WAIT.

YOU HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL AFTER THE ELECTION.

>>Guest: THEY HAVE 60 DAYS.

BUT THOUGH 60 DAYS CULMINATE WITH THE START OF THE JASON VAN DYCK FIRST-DEGREE MURDER TRIAL.

THE CHICAGO POLICE OFFICER SUSPENDED WITHOUT PAY CHARGED WITH FIRST-DEGREE MURDER.

>>Guest: ALL OF THIS IS COMING OF COURSE IS A CONSENT DECREE IS BEING FORMED TO FOR POLICE REFORM.

THIS TRIAL IS GOING TO START IN THE UPCOMING ELECTION, EVEN THOUGH IT'S NOT REALLY UNTIL NEXT YEAR, IS COMING UP SWIFTLY.

IT IS GOING TO BE A HUGE ISSUE IN THE CAMPAIGN?

>>Guest: UP ABSOLUTELY IS.

THERE IS A STEP BACK AND BEHAVE BECAUSE THAT'S TO HIS ADVANTAGE.

HE NEEDS CALM AND HE IS NOT GOING TO GET IT.

IT'S A VERY SERIOUS SITUATION.

NEITHER HE NOR EDDIE JOHNSON REALLY HAS A GRIP ON THIS.

THESE THINGS KEEP HAPPENING.

COPPOLA, THANK GOODNESS HAS NEW LEADERSHIP AND MAY BE ABLE TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS.

WE SHALLSEE.

THIS WILL BE A TEST OF THE NEW .>>Eddie: JOHN OF THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE SAID HE DETECTED A TINGE OF FEAR IN THE MAYOR'S VOICE WHEN HE HELD HIS PRESS CONFERENCE REGARDING THIS.

DID YOU HEAR THAT IN HIS VOICE WHEN HE HEARD THIS?

>>Guest: I DON'T KNOW I HEARD THAT IT IS WORTH MONEY THINK THE CITY HAS IN SOME WAYS COMPLICATED THE ISSUE BY ONLY RELEASING A PART OF THAT VIDEO.

WILL EVERYBODY WANTS HER TO BE CALLED WAITS TO SEE WHAT THE REST OF IT ENTAILS, I THINK THAT ISSUING A PORTION OF IT TO THE CITY'S ADVANTAGES ONLY INCREASED OR CONTROVERSY EVEN FURTHER.

>>Guest: THEIR SUSPICIONS ABOUT THE VIDEO BECAUSE THE POLICE DEPARTMENT SAID IT WAS EDITED AND THERE WAS A PORTION OF IT THAT WAS FROZEN TO EMPHASIZE THE FACT THE GENTLEMAN REACHED FOR HIS GUN.

SO THIS DISTRUST EVEN THE MATERIAL.

>>Guest: THERE WERE FIVE OFFICERS AT THAT SCENE SO EACH PRESUMABLY SHOULD HAVE BEEN WEARING A BODY CAMERA AND OF THE FIVE OFFICERS ONLY ONE SHOT.

THE ONE WHO SHOT HAPPENED TO BE A PROBATIONARY OFFICER SO THAT MEANS YOU'D ONLY BEEN ON THE STREET FOR LESS THAN A YEAR, FRESH OUT OF THE ECONOMY.THE PLACE TO WHAT YOU HAVE MENTIONED ORIGINALLY.

SOME OF THE CONCERN IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD PEOPLE HAVE BEEN REQUESTING MORE POLICE BECAUSE ALONG 71ST STREET PEOPLE SELLING BLUE SQUARE CIGARETTES OR WHATEVER THEY ARE SELLING AND THEY WANT TO GET TO THE RETAILERS.

>>Guest: TO TAKE THIS TYPE OF ASSIGNMENT AND A LOT OF THEM DON'T.

>>Guest: BRINGING IN OFFICERS WHO ARE NEW AND ALSO FROM OUTSIDE THE COMMUNITY BECAUSE WHILE THE POLICE TRAINING HAS BECOME MORE COMPREHENSIVE AND MORE SENSITIVE TO RACIAL ISSUE , IT'S REALLY HARD TO INSTILL IN SOMEONE IN SIX MONTHS BEING COMFORTABLE IN A DIFFERENT NEIGHBORHOOD.

>>Eddie: LET'S MOVE ON TO OTHER POLITICAL NEWSBREAK AT THE SUMMIT IN HELSINKI RECEIVED THAT WHEN A POLITICAL LANDSCAPE, BLACK CANDIDATE FOR MAYOR OF CHICAGO START THROWING ELBOWS IN CHICAGO MIGHT BECOME THE LARGEST US CITY TO OFFER UNIVERSAL BASIC INCOME.

SO THE TRUMP, PUTIN SUMMIT THROUGH UNIVERSAL CRITICISM.

NOT EVERYBODY THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD THING AND SOME DIDN'T THINK IS A BAD THING.

BUT ON THE ONE HAND, THE GOVERNOR WELCOMED MIKE PENCE LAST WEEK SAYING THAT HE IS ONE OF THE GREATEST LEADERS IN AMERICAN HISTORY A FEW DAYS LATER HE HAD TO SAY THE TRUMP PUTIN SUMMIT SHOULD IT IS GOOD AS IT SHOULD'VE BEEN.

WHAT IS YOUR TAKE?

>>Guest: WHAT HE SAID WAS HE WAS VERY UNCOMFORTABLE WITH WHAT DONALD TRUMP HAD TO SAY.

I THINK HE'S IN A TRICKY POSITION.

HE HAD A VERY SERIOUS CHALLENGE DURING THE PRIMARY PRETTY IS ANOTHER CHALLENGE THE STATE LEDGER LETTER WHO WAS ON HIS RIGHT IN THE GENERAL ELECTION WHO IS RUNNING AS A THIRD-PARTY CANDIDATE.

HE'S GOT TO TREAD A VERY NARROW PATH.

HE NEEDS THE RIGHT IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO WIN BUT HE ALSO NEEDS TO BE ABLE TO BRING IN SOME OF THOSE MODERATE FOLDERS.

FOR THE FIRST COUPLE YEARS HE HAS A BEEN ABLE TO MENTION TRUMP'SNAME .

NOW HE HAS GOT TO EMBRACE TRUMP BUT ALSO KEEP IN DISTANCE.

>>Eddie: IS HE SENDING OUT MIXED MESSAGES BY ON ONE HAND PRAISING THE VICE PRESIDENT WHICH CAME AS A SURPRISE TO A LOT OF PEOPLE, EVEN SOME CONSERVATIVES, AND THEN IT KIND OF BACKTRACKING ON TRUMP'S POSITIONS.

>>Guest: BRUCE RAUNER IS TO TURN OUT IN THIS ELECTION.

THAT'S GOING TO BE THE KEY TO HIM WINNING.

THE PRIMARY FOR THE DEMOCRATS SHOULD APPROVE AND THAT WOULD BE THE KEY.

I THINK ANYTIME HE IS ALSO PUBLICLY ADDRESSING SOMETHING TO HIS GOT REPUBLICAN SUPPORT.

BEFORE GOING TO VOTE FOR TRUMP IN 2016 ARE LIKELY TO VOTE FOR BRUCE IN THIS ELECTION.

WHAT HE IS TRYING TO DO, LIKE YOU SAID, IS FIND BOATS AND GETTING PEOPLE WHO MAY OTHERWISE STAY HOME FOR MIDTERM ELECTIONS TO COME OUT.

ANY ATTENTION FOR HIM IS GOOD ATTENTION AT THIS POINT.

>>Guest: THE REASON HE WAS OVERPRICING MIKE PENCE IS THAT MIKE PENCE IS GOVERNOR OF INDIANA, IF YOU TAKE THE MITCH DANIELS ADMINISTRATION IN INDIANA AND GO THROUGH MIKE PENCE, THEY ACCOMPLISHED ALL THE THINGS THAT BRUCE RAUNER IS TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH HERE.

THAT'S WHAT HE THINKS MIKE PENCE IS A GREAT LEADER.

AND TO SOME EXTENT, IF YOU LOOK AT INDIANA HE HAS DONE SOME VERY GOOD THINGS AS A LEADER.

THERE'S NO QUESTION ABOUT IT.

MITCH DANIELS FOR PRODUCTIVE THAT'S WHAT RON WAS TALKING ABOUT.

>>Eddie: THE OTHER ONE IS CONGRESS AND ROSKAM WHO CONFRONTED THE PRESIDENT DURING THE MEETING EARLIER THIS WEEK ABOUT HIS MEETING WITH PUTIN.

AND HE IS IN A PRECARIOUS SITUATION AND FACING CHALLENGE .

IS IT GOING TO HAVE IMPACT AT LEAST ON THE REPUBLICANS IN THE STATE WALKING A FINE LINE, ESPECIALLY NOW THAT THE PRESIDENT SAYS HE IS WRITING MR.

PUTIN TO VISIT WASHINGTON A FEW WEEKS BEFORE THE SELECTION?

>>Guest: EVERY TIME THE PRESIDENT DOES SOMETHING CONTROVERSIAL, THE CAMERAS ARE GOING TO ROLL ON THE CANDIDATES WERE IN HIS PARTY.

SEAN CASON IS CHALLENGING PETER ROSKAM.

EVEN BEFORE ROSKAM WENT TO THAT MEETING WITH ISSUING STATEMENTS SAYING WAS HE GOING TO CENTRAL, SO HE HAD TO SAY SOMETHING TO SHOW.

HE SAID HE TOOK HIM ASIDE AND PUSHED BACK WITH PUTIN THING AND THAT TRUMP WAS DEFENSIVE.

HE HAS ACCOMPLISHED HIS GOAL WAS TO SHOW HE'S AN INDEPENDENT GUY THAT HE IS NOT UNDER TRUMP'S THUMB.

HE IS GOING TO HAVE TO DO THAT AGAIN AND AGAIN EVERY TIME TRUMP COMES ON.

>>Eddie: THE MAYOR OF COURSE IS VERY CLEAR ON HOW HE FEELS ABOUT MR.

COMPANY SAID YOU SHOULD HAVE THE SECURITY CLEARANCE AFTER HIS MEETING WITH MR.

PUTIN.

WAS GOOD TO ANOTHER ISSUE THAT YOU WRITE ABOUT AND THAT IS A BLACK MAYORAL CANDIDATES AND THEY ARE STARTING TO ATTACK EACH OTHER.

>>Guest: SURPRISE SURPRISE.

EVERY TIME WE HAVE A CONTESTED RACE, ESPECIALLY WITH A NUMBER OF CANONS WE HAVE IN THE RISK HAPPENED IN 2011, AFTER THE 2015.

THEY ARE FIGHTING OVER THE SAME BASE.THE BASE IS SHRINKING BECAUSE THE POPULATION IS SHRINKING.

SO WHAT YOU SEE ALREADY HIS CANDIDATES PARTICULARLY THIS TIME WILLIE WILSON GOING AFTER LORI LIGHFOOT WHO WAS PERCEIVED RIGHT NOW TO BE THE FRONT RUNNER BUT TRYING TO BRING HER DOWN A LITTLE BIT AND IT HAS PUT HER ON THE DEFENSIVE.

THAT'S GOING TO CONTINUE TO BE THE CONVERSATION.

UNTIL WE SEE WHO IS ACTUALLY ON THE BALLOT.

ONE THING WE DON'T KNOW IS THESE PEOPLE WILL MAKE IT ABOUT.SO THE DEMOGRAPHICS MAY CHANGE.

>>Eddie: WHAT YOU THINK WILL BE THE KEY ISSUE THAT SETS APART ONE OF THE AFRICAN-AMERICAN CANDIDATES FROM ALL THE OTHERS?

>>Guest: YOU NEVER KNOW.

IN ALL THESE THINGS WE HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT, THERE SEEMS TO BE AN IMPORTANT INCIDENT HAPPENING DAILY AND SOMETIMES MULTIPLE TIMES A DAY IN CHICAGO.

IT'S SO HARD TO PREDICT WHAT THE ISSUES ARE ACTUALLY GOING TO BE.

TO LAURA'S POINT, WE SAW WITH THE FUNDRAISING FOR ALL OF THOSE CANDIDATES, AND OF COURSE LORI RIEMER MANUAL IS THE NEXT.

[ INAUDIBLE ] >>Guest: EXACTLY.SHE OBVIOUSLY IS THE NEXT HIGHEST FUNDRAISER SO IT'S NOT A SURPRISE THAT THE OTHER CANDIDATES ARE GOING.

>>Guest: I THINK IF YOU LOOK AT THE ISSUES, THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AND THE CHICAGO PUBLIC SCHOOLS ARE GOING TO BE THE ISSUES.

LORI LIGHFOOT SHOULD HAVE AN EDGE ON THE OTHERS THERE BECAUSE SHE HAS IDENTIFIED WITH POLICE REFORM, SHE'S A BRILLIANT LAWYER, SHE CAN ARTICULATE THINGS ON THE CHICAGO PUBLIC SCHOOLS THAT PERHAPS THE OTHER CANDIDATES CANNOT HAVE.

THOSE ARE THE TWO ISSUES THAT ARE GOING TO SEPARATE NOT ONLY THE AFRICAN-AMERICAN CANDIDATES BUT ALL THE CANDIDATES.

>>Guest: WHAT WE HAVE SEEN, OUT OF SOME OF THE INCIDENTS LAST WEEKEND WITH THE POLICE SHOOTING, SOME OF THE ACTIVISTS WILL BE CONSOLIDATING THE VOICE AROUND LET'S GET AWAY FROM WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THE POLICE INTERACTIONS.

LET'S TALK ABOUT SOME OF THE ISSUES IN OUR COMMUNITY.

LET'S TALK ABOUT INVESTING IN OUR BUSINESSES, LET'S TALK ABOUT JOB TRAINING AND ECONOMIC INVESTMENT IN OUR BLACK AND BROWN NEIGHBORHOODS.

SO CERTAINLY THOSE ARE GOING TO BE ISSUES THAT ARE GOING TO BE FRONT OF MIND FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE IN CHICAGO BECAUSE THAT AFFECTS ALL CHICAGO.

IF EVERYONE IS THRIVING, IT'S BETTER FOR EVERYONE FOR THE CRIME GOES DOWN, THE VIOLENCE GOES DOWN, THOSE ARE OBVIOUSLY BIGGER ISSUES.

>>Eddie: LET'S MOVE ON TO THE BUSINESS.A MASSIVE PROPOSAL FOR THE FINKEL STEEL SHAPE OF THE CHICAGO COMMUNITIES ASK WHERE IS OUR DEVELOPMENT.

GRAMMY WINNER CHANCE THE RAPPER BUYS CHICAGO'S NEW SITE AND WARNS THE MAYOR IN A NEW SONG.

ILLINOIS FARMERS ARE FEELING THE BITE OF TRUMP TARIFFS.

I KNOW YOU'RE GOING TO SING THAT SONG FOR US.

>>Guest: IS REQUIRED TO HEAR LESTER'S THING ACTUALLY.

>>Eddie: LET'S TALK ABOUT THE LINCOLN YARDS FIRST.

WHILE THE WARM UP.

[LAUGHTER] >>Guest: AND HE WILL DO THE COURSE.>>Eddie: IS A $5 BILLION PROPOSAL.

THIS GOING TO BE A 70 STORY HIGH-RISE AS PART OF THE PLAN.

TENS OF THOUSANDS OF JOBS FOR RENO RESIDENCE IN A VERY CREDIT COMMUNITY TO BEGIN WITH AND OF COURSE THIS COMES A COUPLE WEEKS AFTER THAT MASSIVE DAN RYAN SHUT DOWN PROTEST SAYING OVER COMMUNITIES NEED INVESTMENT, WE NEED JOBS, WE NEED HOUSING, MAYBE WE NEED 70 STORY SKYSCRAPERS.

THIS IS JUST ONE MORE EXAMPLE OF HOW THE CITY IS INVESTING HEAVILY IN THE BEST COMMUNITIES AND NOT OTHERS?

>>Guest: YOU KNOW, CERTAINLY THAT IS HOW SOME SEE IT.

I'M JUST THINKING HOW IN THE WORLD THERE ARE GOING TO DO THIS AND JUST SUCH A DENSELY CONGESTED AREA ALREADY BECAUSE THIS PLAN DOES INCLUDE PARKING SPACES.

SO GETTING PEOPLE THERE, THE 5000 PEOPLE WHO ARE SUPPOSED TO LIVE THERE AND ALL THE BUSINESSES, THE TIMING PERHAPS OF THIS RIGHT AFTER THE DAN RYAN PROTEST, MAYBE THE OPTICS ARE NOT GREAT.

BUSINESS IS IN ITS OWN VACUUM AND THEY ARE NOT THINKING ABOUT THAT.

BUT FOR THOSE WHO ARE TRYING TO LOOK AHEAD AND LOOK AT PERHAPS GETTING VOTES, TO CONSIDER SOME OF THESE BIGGER CONCERNS THAT HAVE COME UP WITH THE DAN RYAN PROTEST AND SOME OF THESE OTHERS.

>>Eddie: CAN COME HOW DO YOU SEE THIS?

>>Guest: I THINK WHEN YOU HAVE A MASSIVE DEVELOPING PROJECT IS NOT JUST ABOUT THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE LIVING WITHIN THE CONFINED SPACE.

IT'S ALL ABOUT THE OTHER COMMUNITY SUPPORT.

YMCA IS COMMUNITY CENTERED SHOPPING.

THE ACCESS TO EVERYTHING ELSE THAT HAS TO COME ALONG WITH THAT BRINGS YOU FOR THE BE ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF HAVING 5000 PEOPLE ACCOUNT FOR AND CONFINING IN A SMALL SPACE IS SOMETHING SOUCEK IS NOT BEING ADDRESSED.

>>Guest: THE POINT IS THERE IS THE STRUCTURE.

IT WILL GROW TO 100 ACRES.

THERE ARE FOUR BRAND-NEW BRIDGES AMONG THE INFRASTRUCTURE.

$1 BILLION OF INFRASTRUCTURE THAT PFLUEGER OBVIOUSLY THINK SOME OF THAT SHOULD COME TO HIM.WE HAVE ALL THESE GIMMICKS THAT ARE PART OF IT.

THERE'S A SOCCER STADIUM IN THERE THAT WILL HOUSE A TEAM THAT TOM RICKETTS OWNS.

THIS IS 606 TRAIL EXTENSION, THERE'S ALSO TO GIMMICKS THAT THEY ARE THROWING IN HERE TO TRY TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE IT MIGHT WORK.

>>Eddie: CAN AN INVESTMENT LIKE THIS BRING IN ENOUGH OR SHOULD THAT BE PART OF THE PLAN TO INVEST IN THE COMMUNITIES OR IS THE CITY NOT DOING ENOUGH OF THAT?

>>Guest: I DON'T THINK THE MAYOR HAS ANY KIND OF A LONG-TERM STRATEGIC AND RUN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.

THINK THERE WAS A STUDY THAT CAME OUT THIS WEEK THAT SHOWS THE PIER AFRICAN-AMERICAN PEOPLE FROM AFRICAN-AMERICAN COMMUNITIES ARE WORKING DOWNTOWN THAN THEY WERE FIVE YEARS AGO.

THAT MIGHT BE BECAUSE THE LOSS OF POPULATION BUT THERE'S OFFICE WHAT YOU NEED FOR MORE JOBS AND MORE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IN THOSE NEIGHBORHOODS AND THE QUESTION IS WHY THERE AND ON THE SOUTH SO THE CHICAGO WHEN HAVE PLENTY OF INFRASTRUCTURE THAT IS NOT CREDIT, IT DOESN'T LIKE POCKETS TRACES.

WHY NOT THERE.

>>Eddie: I KNOW SMITTY WHO SHOWS THAT CEMENT AND IT IS CHANCE THE RAPPER.

WE HAVE TO MOVE ON TO THAT.

BUT THE CHICAGO'S WEBSITE AND THIS WAS PART OF THE MEDIA I DON'T WANT TO SAY EMPIRE.

IT WAS PART OF THE DNA IN THAT WAS OWNED BY JOE RICKETTS AND SOLD OFF LAST YEAR.HE BOUGHT THIS WEBSITE AND HE SENT OUT A WARNING VIA A SONG THAT HAD MOSTLY MATURED LYRICS IN IT AND HE SENT A WARNING TO THE MAYOR AS WELL AS THE MEDIA, SPECIFICALLY THE SUN-TIMES IN CHICAGO.

>>Guest: WHAT I LIKED WAS THE TONE OF HIS FOES WHEN HE SAID SONG.

IS THIS REALLY A SONG?

IT'S A RAP SONG.

IT'S NOT EXACTLY OF HAMILTON QUALITY, BUT IT IS A RAP SONG AND CHANCE OF RAPPER IS SERIOUSLY SUCCESSFUL.

HE ALSO PUT OUT A VERY CORPORATE PRESS RELEASE IN WHICH HE EXPLAINED THAT THE GOAL WAS DIVERSITY, THE GOAL WAS REPRESENTATION OF PEOPLE OF COLOR.

>>Guest: MEDIA HE FEELS IS NOT BEEN REPRESENTED IN CHICAGO.

>>Guest: AND THEN HE CALLED ALL OF US IN THE MEDIA RACIST AT THE END OF THE SONG.

HE HAS AN ATTITUDE WITH ALL OF US.

>>Eddie: ALL OF US ARE JUST YOU?

[LAUGHTER] >>Guest: YOU ARE NOT THAT.

>>Eddie: YOU ARE DEFINITELY NOT THAT IN OUR EYES.

I WILL WRITE A SONG TO THAT WON'T SAY THAT.

DO YOU THINK, LEAH, YOU WILL USE THIS AS A FORM TO BRING IN JOURNALISTS THAT REPRESENT A LOT MORE OF CHICAGO THAN HE SAYS IS UNDERREPRESENTED OR IS IT GOING TO BE A FORM FOR HIM?

>>Guest: THE MAIN THING ABOUT CHANCE IS THERE IS A CHANCE THAT HAS IS FOLLOWING DURING ALL THESE YOUNG PEOPLE.

AND THEN YOU HAVE THE CHANCELLOR BENNETT WHO IS A BUSINESSMAN.

AND WHO HAS BEEN PAYING ATTENTION TO SOME OF THE SOCIAL IS USED IN CHICAGO FOR EDUCATION AND INVESTMENT.

NOW HE IS TALKING ABOUT VOICES NOT BEING HEARD IN CHICAGO.

WE DON'T KNOW HOW THIS IS GOING TO TURN OUT, BUT CERTAINLY THOSE OF US IN THE MEDIA HAVE SEEN VOICES SHRINKING AWAY DUE TO ECONOMIC FACTORS IN MERGERS.

BRINGING MORE VOICES AND THE OPPORTUNITY FOR MORE VOICES CAN ONLY BE A GOOD THING IN MY VIEW.

>>Eddie: WE NEED TO GET YOUR STORY QUICKLY BEFORE SPORTS AND THAT IS ILLINOIS FARMERS REALLY FEELING THE IMPACT OF THESE TARIFFS, ARE THEY?

>>Guest: AS A MATTER OF FACT, JUST IN THE LAST COUPLE WEEKS HOG FARMERS IN ILLINOIS WERE LOOKING AT MAYBE 5 TO $8 A HEAD PROPHET FOR THE IMPOSITION OF THE TARIFFS AS MUCH AS 62'S PRESENT.

FARMERS ARE LOOKING AT A SEVEN DOLLAR TO A DOLLAR LOSS AHEAD.

THE MARKET IS PRIMARILY EXPORTS AND THAT'S IT.

THAT WILL DECIMATE AT LEAST THE HOG INDUSTRY IN THE STATE, BUT MORE IMPORTANT CONCERN FOR FARMERS HERE IS SOYBEAN, CORN.

RIGHT NOW CHINA IS LIMITING SOYBEAN PURCHASES.

THE PRICES FLUCTUATED IN DOLLARS.

NOT TO SENSE ANYMORE.

THIS IS REALLY THE HEART OF TRUMP'S SUPPORT IN HARTLAND AND PARTICULARLY ILLINOIS.

ANY OF THE STATES ARE RED BECAUSE THERE FARMERS AND AGRICULTURE SUPPORTING THE REPUBLICAN POLICIES THAT WE ARE HOPING TO DEREGULATE THINGS AND INCREASE TRADE.

>>Eddie: AND NOW THE PRESIDENT SAYS HE PLANS TO ENACT TARIFFS ON ALL $500 BILLION OF IMPORTS FROM CHINA.WE CAN ONLY IMAGINE WHAT THE RETRIBUTION FOR THAT IS GOING TO BE.

LET'S MOVE ON TO SPORTS.

COULD CATCHER WILSON CONTRERAS BECOMES THE FIRST MAJOR LEADER TO HOMER ON HIS FIRST CAREER IN ULSTER AT THAT.

ANOTHER ALL-STAR FIRST AFTER 22 YEARS, WHITE SOX VETERAN WAS A ROUTE FOLLOWS IN THE STEPS OF HALL OF FAMER FRANK THOMAS.

AND WILL SIGN CHICAGO NATIVE JABARI PARKER WHO SAYS WHAT ABOUT PLAYING DEFENSE.

WE'LL GET TO THAT SOON.

[LAUGHTER] SPEED THAT WAS GOOD.

>>Eddie: HE SAYS WHAT!

I MIGHT BE WRITING A SONG.

>>Guest: LESTER SINGING AND EDDIE WHAT!

!

HOW IS THIS WILSON ENSURES HISTORY MAKING AT THAT FACTORING INTO LEXI?

>>Guest: IT'S A RECOGNITION THAT WILSON CONTRERAS MAY BE ONE OF THE BEST CATCHERS IN ALL OF BASEBALL.THERE ARE 30 TEAMS IN BASEBALL.

HE'S CLEARLY THE TOP TWO OR THREE WHEN IT COMES TO THE STARTING CATCHER .

HERE RIGHT NOW FOR THIS WEEKEND IN CHICAGO WE WILL HAVE NADIA MOLINA FOR THE ST.

LOUIS CARDINALS, WILSON CONTRERAS FOR THE CUBS.

THOSE ARE THE BEST BUT THERE ARE RIGHT NOW.

THEY MIGHT BE INKY FANS WHO ARGUE ABOUT THAT BUT WE DON'T LISTEN TO THEM ANYWAY.

>>Eddie: IT WAS A VERY IMPORTANT EVENT FOR COUNTRY WAS IN THE CUBS.

>>Guest: THE CUBS AND THE BREWERS ARE NECK AND NECK IN THE NATIONAL LEAGUE CENTRAL DIVISION BUT THEY ARE GETTING REINFORCEMENTS SO TELL US WHAT YOU EXPECT FROM THE TWO TEAMS.

>>Guest: THE BREWERS ARE IN A LITTLE BIT OF A SLUMP RIGHT NOW.

THEY'VE LOST SIX IN A ROW.

THE CUBS ARE IN A HOT STREAK.

THEY HAVE WON 12 OF 15 FOR THEY HAD THE CARDINALS NOW TEAM IN TURMOIL.

THEMANAGER WAS FIRED, THE GENERAL MANAGER IS FACING A VERY SERIOUS DUI CASE .

SO THE CUBS HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY HERE TO REALLY DISTANCE THEMSELVES IN THE DIVISION.

THE BREWERS ARE GOING TO HAVE TO COME BACK IN A HURRY.

THE CUBS NEED STARTING PITCHING.

THE STATED PICTURES HAVE BEEN DISAPPOINTING WITH THE EXCEPTION OF JONATHAN LESTER.

THEY NEED A COUPLE PICTURES, WHETHER THEY ARE GOING TO FIND THEM WE DON'T KNOW.

BUT THEY ARE CERTAINLY ON THE LOOKOUT RIGHT NOW.

>>Eddie: LET'S GIVE A LITTLE LOVE TO THE WHITE SOX WHICH I KNOW PAINS YOU TO DO, LESTER, BUT LET'S DO IT ANYWAY.IT'S KIND LIKE THE BRIGHT SPOT RIGHT NOW.

WHAT DO THEY NEED TO DO TOSTART ?

>>Guest: THE WHITE SOX ARE ON THIS PROGRAM IN WHICH THEY ARE SEEKING TO ACCUMULATE LARGE NUMBERS OF YOUNG PROSPECTS.

AS WITH THE CUBS DID TO SUCCEED IN THE WORLD SERIES, IT'S WHAT THE HOUSTON ASTROS DID TO SUCCEED IN THE WORLD SERIES.

RECON, THE GM OF THE WHITE SOX IS A VERY CAPABLE LEADER AND HE HAS GOT THIS PROGRAM GOING.

THERE HAVE BEEN SOME BUMPS ALONG THE WAY, BUT THAT'S THE WAY THESE THINGS ARE.

THEY COULD LOSE 107 GAMES THIS YEAR, BUT IT'S A BUILDING BLOCK FOR SOMETHING BETTER.

>>Eddie: I WANT TO ASK YOU WHAT JABARI PARKER SAY WHAT WE ARE OUT OF TIME.

SO IT MIGHT THANKS TO KANE FARABAUGH, LEAH HOPE, LAURA WASHINGTON AND TRENT A. WE WILL CONTINUE THE COLORIZATION ONLINE AND WE WILL SEE YOU ON THE NEXT EDITION ON THE WEEK IN REVIEW.

I'M EDDIE ARRUZA GOOD NIGHT.
