THANKS FOR JOINING US ON THE WEEK IN REVIEW.

I'M AMANDA KEEP THE POLITICAL LANDSCAPE.

HASN'T JUST SHIFTED.

THE RACE FOR PRESIDENT HAS MOVED TO A WHOLE NEW MASK.

WITH PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN BOWING OUT DEMOCRAT CONNOR RISE IN CO LAST AROUND VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS.

WE HAVE EARNED THE SUPPORT OF ENOUGH DELEGATES TO SECURE DEMOCRAT.

AMERICA'S FIRST BLACK PRESIDENT SAYING HE'LL DO WHAT HE CAN TO ELECT THE SECOND.

RACHEL AND I COULDN'T BE PROUDER TO ENDORSE TO DO EVERYTHING WE CAN TURN THIS THE OVAL MIGHT ILLINOIS LOSES GOVERNOR WHEN HARRIS SELECT A RUNNING MATE?

YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY YOU HAVE TO CONSIDER IT IF YOU'RE ASKED, BUT NO MATTER WHAT GOVERNOR PRITZKER AND CHICAGO WILL PLAY A STARRING ROLE AS HOST OF THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION.

LET ME STATE THIS UNEQUIVOCALLY.

CHICAGO WAS READY.

WE'RE BORN READY.

WHAT ARE STUDENTS READY TO GET BACK IN THE CLASSROOM?

A MONTH OUT FROM BACK-TO-SCHOOL CHICAGO'S BOARD OF EDUCATION PASSES A NEW BUDGET.

THIS IS A BUDGET THAT STARTS WITH EQUITY.

NOT AND THE TEACHERS UNION ISN'T HAPPY.

CBS SHOWS CAUGHT.

AND OVERCROWDED CLASSROOMS INSTEAD OF TRYING TO FIND CREATIVE FUNDING INTO SPRINGFIELD WOMAN CALLED THE POLICE FOR BEFORE.

THERE ANYTHING ELSE I CAN DO FOR YOU?

ONLY TO BE SHOT TO DEATH?

THE NATION GRAPPLES WITH WHAT IT SEES IN THE KILLING OF SOME UNITS.

AND NOW TO OUR WEEK IN REVIEW PANEL.

JOINING US ARE LIKE A LIVE TRUCK FROM SOUTH SIDE WEEKLY.

BECKY VIVI FROM CHALKED THE CHICAGO RUFUS WILLIAMS FROM W VO AND AND ALSO STEVE DANIELS FROM THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE.

PRESIDENT BIDEN WILL STEP ASIDE.

LET'S HEAR A LITTLE MORE OF HIS OVAL OFFICE SPEECH EXPLAINING THIS HISTORIC DECISION.

YOU KNOW, RAYSHON WEEKS.

IT'S BECOME CLEAR TO I NEED YOU 9.

MY PARTY AND THIS CRITICAL ENDEAVOR.

I BELIEVE.

I RECKON HE'S PRESIDENT.

MY LEADERSHIP IN THE WORLD.

I VISION FOR AMERICA'S FUTURE.

IN THE SECOND TERM.

NOTHING.

CAN COME IN THE WAY OF SAVING OUR DEMOCRACY.

THAT INCLUDES PERSONAL AMBITION.

RUFUS, OVER TO YOU FIRST.

THE PRESIDENT CLEARLY THINKS THAT HE DESERVES A SECOND TERM.

SO WHY THEN IS HE NOT EVEN TRY?

WELL, BECAUSE TOO MANY PEOPLE WERE SUGGESTING THAT THE NUMBERS WERE LOOKING GOOD AND PERHAPS HE SHOULD STEP AWAY THOSE TOO MUCH GROUNDSWELL JUST TOO MUCH MOVEMENT.

AND YOU KNOW WHAT TENDS TO HAPPEN?

IT'S THE SPEECH WAS ONLY A MONTH AGO.

THE DEBATE WAS ONLY A MONTH AGO AND ALL OF THE DISCUSSION FROM THE DEBATE WAS HOW BIDEN WAS AND WHAT SHOULD COME NEXT.

HE SAID THAT ONLY GOD ALMIGHTY WAS GOING TO GET HIM TO STEP DOWN.

AND IT SEEMS LIKE NANCY PELOSI, MAYBE GOD ALMIGHTY, YOU KNOW, SOME CONVERSATIONS WERE HAPPENING AND ULTIMATELY LAST SUNDAY AT ONE.

45 WE ALL LEARNED THAT THINGS HAVE SHIFTED AND THINGS THAT CHANGED IN A LOT OF CONCERN HAD BEEN ABOUT HOW YOU GET PARTY TOGETHER, HOW YOU GET TO SOMEONE THAT WOULD KEEP TOGETHER AND MOVE FORWARD AND TO WATCH WHAT THE VICE PRESIDENT DID IN THAT TIME BETWEEN THE TIME THAT 23 MINUTES FROM THE TIME IN WHICH YOU SAID IT WAS GOING TO DROP OUT AND THEN HE CAME BACK AND ENDORSED HER.

THE MOVEMENT HAPPENED.

THERE WAS NO CANDIDATE, ANY PLACE WHO COULD STEP FORWARD.

JUST BEEN AN AMAZING WEEKS SO NEWS MOVING SO FAST BEFORE WE TOO VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS AND HER FUTURE.

SEE, THEY WANT TO GO BACK A BIT ON THE LEGACY IN WHAT THIS MEANS FOR THE JEEP OR JOE BIDEN.

IS THIS GOING TO BE SORT OF THE WHAT HE'S REMEMBERED FOR?

WELL, IT CERTAINLY WILL SOMETHING THAT IS REMEMBERED FOR.

I THINK HIS LEGACY IS TBD.

TO BE AND WILL VERY MUCH ON WHAT HAPPENS IN THE ELECTION.

IF HARRIS IS THERE IS IS I I DON'T THINK I THINK THAT'S A THE FACT THAT HE HUNG ON AS LONG AS HE DID AFTER THE DEBATE.

15 MINUTES AFTER INTO THE DEBATE.

MOST DEMOCRATS THAT I KNOW.

IF THIS IS DONE THIS CAN'T GO ON AND HE SPENT ANOTHER 3 WEEKS FIGHTING INCLINE AND GRASPING TO HANG ON, YOU KNOW, DEMOCRATS, KAMALA HARRIS AND THE REST REST.

THE PARTY HAVE A VERY, VERY SHORT PERIOD OF TIME TO PUT A CAMPAIGN TOGETHER AND AND TO TAKE ON IT A FORMIDABLE OPPONENT.

SO SHE LOSES.

YOU'RE SAYING IT WILL BE SEEN AS HE WASTED TOO MUCH TIME IS SHE WINS.

THIS WILL BE A SHINING STAR AND HIS LEGACY.

YES, PRETTY MUCH.

I MEAN, I THINK THAT IF SHE LOSES, REALLY A REAL BLACK MARK.

IF SHE WINS A, HE WILL BE VERY, VERY FONDLY.

THAT HEAT KNOW YOU HEAR A LOT OF TALK FROM REPUBLICANS PAY.

DEMOCRATS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE THE PARTY OF DEMOCRACY.

WHAT ARE THEY DOING ABOUT ALL OF THESE VOTERS WHO CHOSE JOE BIDEN AS THEIR NOMINEE?

RIGHT.

I THINK THAT'S WHAT WHAT'S INTERESTING IS THAT A LOT, YOU KNOW, IT FEELS LIKE A MONTH AGO THAT HE THAT THIS HAPPENED.

BUT A LOT HAPPENED BETWEEN THE DEBATE AND HIS DECISION, INCLUDING THAT THE FORMER PRESIDENT, HIS OPPONENT HAD AN ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION ON HIS LIFE.

AND SO I THINK THAT THAT COUPLED WITH THE RNC REALLY MADE THIS A DIFFICULT LIKE IT MADE IT A DECISION THAT HAD TO BE MADE AMONG DEMOCRATS.

AND I THINK EVEN FOR PEOPLE WHO VOTED FOR HIM IN THE PRIMARY AND PRIMARY VOTERS TEND TO BE DIEHARDS, IF YOU WILL.

AND SO I THINK THAT THOSE SAME PEOPLE MIGHT HAVE BEEN THE PEOPLE WHO ARE ALSO SAYING, YOU KNOW, REALLY, WE NEED TO CONSIDER A NEW CANDIDATE OR A SHIFTING ON THE TICKET.

BUT THERE ARE CERTAINLY PROCESS QUESTIONS NOW AT THIS POINT, WHAT HAPPENS AND HOW DO THEY GO THROUGH THE STEPS OF PICKING A VICE PRESIDENT THERE DUCKS IN ORDER BEFORE THE OHIO BALLOT NEEDS TO BE CERTIFIED ON AUGUST 7TH.

THESE ARE INTERESTING ROLL CALL VIEW IN DNC, BUT SO MANY QUESTIONS THERE NOW.

MICHAEL, WHAT DO YOU THINK THAT THIS MEANS FOR THE DYNAMICS OF THE RACE IS STEVE TALKED ABOUT OUT THERE MIGHT HAVE THE LAST TIME.

BUT IS IT ALSO I MEAN, I FEEL LIKE JUST RECENTLY WE WERE TALKING ABOUT DEMOCRATS IN THIS CYCLE SELF INFLICTING DAMAGE BY CALLING FOR BIDEN TO STEP AWAY.

NOW, IT SEEMS LIKE THERE'S A HECK OF A LOT OF ENTHUSIASM.

HOW DO YOU SEE THE DYNAMICS?

THIS WAS DEFINITELY GAME TIME DECISION WHEN IT COMES TO WHAT BECKY PUT HAS THE MOMENTUM.

AND WHEN WE THINK ABOUT TRUMP SESSION NATION ATTEMPT IN CONTEXT WITH THE RNC DAYS LATER AND THE UNITED FRONT THAT REPUBLICAN PARTY WAS ABLE TO PULL TOGETHER, PUSHING TRUMP EVEN FURTHER IN HIS AMBITION.

SEEING THE COMPARISON OF THE 2.

AND THIS IS SOMETHING THAT.

IN THE STATE BY WAS IN AND IT NOT HELPING THE SITUATION AT BIDEN ALSO GOT COVID AND STEP DOWN WHILE ACTIVELY HAVING COVID.

IT'S IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING THAT DEMOCRATIC PARTY IS DOING THE BEST THEY CAN TO GET TOGETHER.

YES, A LOT.

THAT'S A LOT THAT WENT ON THERE.

YOU KNOW, I FORGOT ABOUT BIDEN COVID BECAUSE HE'S BEEN SO MUCH THAT'S HAPPENED IN THIS LAST WEEK.

BUT YOU JUST THINK ABOUT THE FACT THEY ARE AND SEE HAPPEN.

THE RNC WAS JUST A AND THEN ON SUNDAY START RIGHT BIDEN.

BIDEN DECIDES TO STEP OUT AND THIS WHIRLWIND HAPPENED.

SO ALL OF THE ALL OF THE JUMP THAT THE RNC WOULD SEEM TO HAVE GOTTEN SEEMS TO ON THE AND I KNOW I WAS SHIFTING ALL THE TIME.

IT'S LIKE, WHAT'S THE OCTOBER SURPRISE GOING TO BE?

YOU KNOW, I MEAN, THERE'S BEEN SO MANY MIGHT HAVE SOME WHY AND AUGUST 100 DAYS CAN BE NOTHING.

BUT IT CAN ALSO BE QUITE A LIFETIME.

AND SPEAKING OF QUICK LET'S GO BACK TO HOW WAS IT THAT HARRIS WAS ABLE TO GALVANIZE SO MANY DELEGATES BEHIND HER SO QUICKLY THAT NOBODY ELSE EVEN.

BUT EVEN WHEN SHE HAD HER CONVERSATION WITH JOE BIDEN ON SUNDAY MORNING, SHE CALLED HIM HER PEOPLE.

THEY HAD A MEETING.

THEY PUT TOGETHER THE LIST.

AND SO AS SOON AS HE PUT OUT THE LETTER, THEY STARTED MAKING CALLS.

SHE MADE 100 CALLS ON THAT DAY.

EVERY CALL BEGIN WITH.

I DIDN'T WANT TODAY TO GET AWAY WITHOUT ME TALKING TO AND SHE WITH THE PEOPLE WOULD HAVE COME IN AND RUN AGAINST SHE PULLED THE MEN FIRST AND THEY WERE ABLE THIS WAS A MASTERCLASS AND HOW YOU ORGANIZE AND GET SOMETHING DONE AND SHE DID WITH APLOMB.

AND SO WE WATCH AND THIS TIME ALL THESE DELEGATES BY WEDNESDAY, BY TUESDAY EVENING, SHE HAD ENOUGH DELEGATES TO GET HER THROUGH.

SHE THIS IS A MASTERCLASS IN HOW COURT DIDN'T HURT THAT.

SHE HAD A HISTORY AND RELATIONSHIP WITH A FORMER SPEAKER NANCY PELOSI.

I MEAN, I THINK YOU YOU HAVE TO NOT HURT HER.

CAN SOMEBODY HELP HER OUT.

KNOW, MIKE, I KNOW YOU'VE BEEN DOING SOME REPORTING ON THIS AND INCLUDING WHAT HER CANDIDACY MEANS FOR SOME CHICAGO DELEGATES.

CHICAGO LEADERS, BLACK WOMEN RIGHT?

AND SO NOT ONLY WHEN IT COMES TO DELEGATES, BUT WHEN THINKING ABOUT FROM A FUNDRAISING STANDPOINT, HOW MOMENTOUS SUNDAY WAS WHERE IN 24 HOURS, KAMALA HARRIS WAS RACE.

81 MILLION AND 2 THINGS THAT WE STOOD OUT ON SUNDAY TO ME TO ZOOM CALLS WON BY A GROUP CALL WHEN BLACK WOMEN ANOTHER.

RECALL WHEN BLACK MEN AND BETWEEN THE 2 THEY RAISED OVER TO CLOSE 2.5 MILLION DOLLARS WHERE 190,000 PEOPLE VIEWING AND 55,000 PEOPLE IN ATTENDANCE.

AND THEN NOW JUST THE GRASSROOTS ORGANIZING THAT'S PICKING UP THIS WEEK.

AND SO IN MY REPORTING, LOOKING AT KAMALA HARRIS, A SORORITY ALPHA KAPPA ALPHA AND WHAT THIS MEANS IS BASED IN HIGH PARK.

THERE INTERNATIONAL HEADQUARTERS AND I SPOKE WITH PEOPLE LIKE TONI PRECKWINKLE WHO'S A SENATOR MATTIE HUNTER, REPRESENTATIVE KIMBERLY PLAY AND THE SENSE OF PRIDE.

AND THIS NEW ENERGY HAS BEEN INJECTED INTO DEMOCRATIC PARTY LEADING TO THE CONVENTION.

IT'S DEFINITELY GOING TO BE A LOT.

IT'S GOING TO BE A LOT GREAT MOMENTUM FOR THEM TO COMPETE DONALD TONIGHT, THE VOTER BASE, YOU KNOW, BLACK WOMEN HELPED ELECT JOE BIDEN AS WELL.

AND I THINK THAT CAN'T BE TO BACK AT THE BALLOT.

YEAH, IT WAS.

THE FIRST STEP WAS TO GET THE BASE BACK BECAUSE PARTS OF THE BASE WERE GONE.

WE'RE LEAVING EITHER FOR LACK OF ENTHUSIASM.

JUST GOING TO SIT OUT SOME FOLKS.

YOU KNOW, POLLS WERE SHOWING 20% OF BLACK MEN.

WE'RE VOTING FOR TRUMP.

THIS WAS GOING.

I'M GOING BACK TO WELL BEFORE THE DEBATE.

BUT THEY WERE THERE WERE REPEATED POLLS SHOWING THAT NOT JUST ONE.

SO THE FIRST THING THAT NEEDED TO HAPPEN WAS TO GET THE BASE BACK AND AT THAT HAS LEAST APPARENTLY HAS HAPPENED VERY, VERY QUICKLY.

HARRIS GREAT.

57,000 BLACK MEN WERE ON THE CALL ON MONDAY NIGHT.

THEY'RE SINCE THEN LIEUTENANT LOT HANNAH'S 4 FOR OUR HARRIS.

THERE'VE BEEN WHITE WOMEN FOR HARRIS LAST NIGHT OVER 100,000.

AND SO THESE AFFINITY GROUPS HAVE COME TOGETHER.

THIS IS JUST BEEN AN AMAZING WEEK.

ONE, SO MANY DIFFERENT REALLY IS EXPECTED WATCHING.

YOU KNOW, YOU RE SAYING TRUMP'S HULK HOGAN AND KID ROCK MAYBE IT'S THE WHAT WE'LL SEE ABOUT THE CAT LADIES RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT.

THAT, OF COURSE, MEANS THAT THERE IS A VICE PRESIDENTIAL OPENING ON THE TICKET AND THERE ARE REPORTS THAT HARRIS IS CONSIDERING ILLINOIS GOVERNOR JB PRITZKER FOR THAT POSITION.

LET'S HEAR WHAT PRITZKER HAD TO SAY.

WHEN ASKED ABOUT THAT EARLIER THIS WEEK.

LOVE BEING GOVERNOR OF ILLINOIS, THE PEOPLE OF ILLINOIS OF GRACE ME WITH THAT TITLE FOR THE LAST 2 ELECTIONS.

YOU KNOW, I'D BE RELUCTANT TO MAKE A CHANGE, BUT IT BE HARD TO RESIST A CALL AND CONSIDERATION IF THE NOMINEE CALLED ME TO ASK TO BE CONSIDERED FOR VICE PRESIDENT.

THAT SSA GOVERNOR PRITZKER'S CHANCES AT RUNNING FROM WELL, I MEAN, IT WAS A CERTAINLY AN ELOQUENT AND VERY POLITICAL ANSWER.

AND I DON'T THINK ANYONE'S GOING PRACTICE HAS PRACTICE THAT.

AND I DON'T THINK ANYBODY WILL NOW PROBABLY UNTIL, YOU KNOW, MAYBE MINUTES BEFORE IT'S THERE'S OBVIOUSLY A LOT OF REPORTING AND SPECULATION AND CERTAINLY BEHIND THE SCENES VETTING MULTIPLE I DON'T DOUBT THAT SHE'S HAD CALLS WITH HIM.

HE WOULD OBVIOUSLY FUNDRAISING POWER AND A PRETTY ABILITY TO BRING THAT.

THERE ARE A FEW THINGS THAT I THINK CAN NOT QUITE THE PICK, WHICH IS THAT ILLINOIS IS A BLUE HE IS A UP BILLIONAIRE OR AND I THINK THAT THAT SHE COULD BE LOOKING FOR SOMEBODY WHO'S A LITTLE MORE MAY BE APPEALING TO THE BIDEN WHITE WORKING CLASS GROUP THAT SEEMS TO HAVE GONE THE TRUMP CAMP.

AND SO THIS VP PICK WILL BE VERY INTERESTING.

I WHETHER IT'S OUR GOVERNOR, YOU KNOW, HE DOES LOBBYING GOVERNOR GOLF COURSE.

GUYS ARE COURSE.

SEE THAT.

AND JUST BRIEFLY, WHY IS THE GOVERNOR BEING SO CAGEY ABOUT IT IS ASKED BY CHICAGO REPORTERS AND HE WAS NOT THAT DEFINITE JUST.

LOVE GOVERNOR.

WELL, I MEAN, I THINK THAT'S WHAT YOU DO IN THESE SITUATIONS.

I THINK WE'VE EVERY CANDIDATE FOR VICE-PRESIDENT WEATHER HIM OR THE ALL MANY WE JUST HAVE IT.

YEAH.

SO THAT'S JUST KIND OF WHAT YOU DO.

AND THIS SITUATION I WOULD BE SHOCKED GOVERNOR PRITZKER WERE PICKED AS THE VICE PRESIDENT.

WHAT ABOUT A POSITION?

YES, THAT THAT THAT'S A DIFFERENT ISSUE.

AND THEN YOU KNOW THAT HE WILL BE PARTICIPATING ACTIVELY IN THE CAMPAIGN.

MONEY WILL OBVIOUSLY PART OF YOU KNOW, HIS HIS SISTER WAS COMMERCE SECRETARY MAYBE YOU YOU HAVE TO.

THE FIRST BROTHER SISTER CONGRESS TIME WERE GETTING WAY AHEAD OF ANYTHING.

BUT ANYWAY, YES, I THINK THAT'S THE MORE LIKELY THINK OUTCOME FOR HIM THAT VICE PRESIDENT WHEN EVEN IF HE'S NOT ON THE TICKET, CHICAGO AND PRITZKER ARE GOING TO PLAYING A BIG ROLE IN THE PRESIDENTIAL RACE WITH, OF COURSE, THE DNC COMING UP AUGUST 19, NOT MICHAEL CHICAGO JUST LEARNED WHAT IMPACT THAT IS GOING CHICAGO RESIDENT.

THAT IS WHERE THE IMPACT THAT THAT'S GOING TO HAVE ON THEIR GETTING AROUND PARTICULAR.

IF YOU ARE TRYING TO GET ANYWHERE CLOSE UNITED CENTER MCCORMICK PLACE, NO THINK YOU BASICALLY SECURE YOU SAYING YOU CAN'T.

WHAT YOUR EXPECTATIONS FOR THIS CONVENTION OR EU IS IN YOUR REPORTING TALKING TO RESIDENTS THAT ARE EXCITED ABOUT AND ARE SAYING, IT'S DEFINITELY GOING TO IT'S GOING UP STRUCK PEOPLE'S ABILITY TO GET AROUND AND THINKING ABOUT NOT ONLY THE PEDESTRIAN RESTRICTED CAR SHUT THE AREAS, BUT THE CPD PRESENTS.

WHAT'S THAT GOING TO BE LIKE LAST TIME?

OBVIOUSLY WE SPOKE ABOUT SNOW AND JUST A DIFFERENT TACTICS THAT THEY WANT TO TAKE FROM THE INSPECTOR GENERAL'S REPORT THAT.

SHE DIDN'T THINK CPD WAS AT THE BEST PLACE TO HANDLE PROTESTERS.

SO ALL OF THIS FROM HOW DISTRICTS ARE RESTRICTED 2, THE ALMOST IMMINENT PROTEST OF WHAT HAPPENED SEEING HOW A CHICAGO POLICE HANDLES THE DNC AND LOOKING AT THE RNC AND THE ARREST AND A DEATH TO HAPPEN AT RC WAS NOT FROM MILWAUKEE POLICE.

IT WAS FROM OHIO OFFICERS WHO WERE THERE.

AND THAT'S SOMETHING LOOKING MORE INTO THE SEA.

ON TOP OF CHICAGO POLICE.

WILL THERE OFFICERS FROM OTHER POLICE DISTRICT OTHER STATES HERE AS WELL 9 TRYING TO GET IT?

THAT'S THE SUPERINTENDENT, THE CPD TRYING TO GIVE ASSURANCES.

HE SAYS WE'RE GOING TO KEEP CHICAGO POLICE IN NEIGHBORHOODS WHERE THERE WILL BE THE MOST INTERACTION WITH RESIDENTS AND REALLY TRYING TO SAY THAT WE ARE PREPARED FOR THIS FOR RIGHTS WILL BE EXERCISED, BUT WE WILL NOT TAKE ANY VANDALISM, SUPER FOR ANYTHING THAT YOU WANT TO.

AND IN TERMS OF HAS THIS RAPIDLY APPROACHING.

I WILL SAY I WAS IN MILWAUKEE FOR THE RNC AND THE BREWER WAS PRETTY TIGHT.

AND SO YOU HAVE TO WALK 5 BLOCKS AT LEAST TO GET ANY PLACE.

AND I THINK HERE WILL HAVE THE SAME THING WITH THE PERIMETER.

SO AT THE ACTUAL SITE.

IT'S GOING TO BE SAFE.

IT'S GOING TO BE FINE IS GOING TO BE DISRUPTIVE TO PEOPLE THAT'S THE KIND OF WHAT HAPPENS IS THE BIG EVENT IS COMING HERE.

AND THAT'S WHAT WE'LL SEE IS UNFORTUNATE.

THE SHOOTING OF A HOMELESS MAN AND MILWAUKEE WASN'T A LOT OF COVERAGE THAT WE'RE THERE ARE A LOT OF OFFICERS FROM ALL OVER THE COUNTRY.

SO I SUSPECT THAT WE'LL SEE THE SAME THING LIKELY INSIDE THE PERIMETER, BUT NOT ON OURS.

YOU KNOW, YOU REFERENCED EARLIER ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION OF A FORMER PRESIDENT AND CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT.

DOES THAT CHANGE ANYTHING IN TERMS OF SECURITY OR HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT THAT HAPPENED OUTSIDE WRITES, I THINK, YOU KNOW, GIVEN THE PARAMETERS OF WHAT HAPPENED IN THAT SHOOTING, I DON'T I THINK YES.

SECURITY BEEFED UP, BUT I DON'T KNOW THAT CHANGES A LOT BECAUSE I THINK THEY WILL PREPARE FOR WHAT THIS IS GOING TO BE ANYWAY.

IT WAS ALSO INTERESTING IN MILWAUKEE.

I KNOW THAT PROTESTERS.

I JUST NEVER SAW AND I WAS THERE FOR 2 DIFFERENT DAYS.

I GOT TO AGREE.

I WAS THERE A WEEK AND DIDN'T ENCOUNTER ANY SAFER COMING INTO SECURITY.

A COUPLE PEOPLE I THINK RELIGIOUS SIGNS VERSUS A PROTEST.

JUST BEFORE WE MOVE ON BRIEFLY, STEVE, THE GOVERNOR OF TEXAS HINTING STILL THAT MORE MIGRANTS ARE GOING TO BE COMING.

A CHICAGO CITY COUNCIL HAD A HEARING ON THIS THIS WEEK.

IS THE CITY.

MAYOR SAYS THAT WE'RE PREPARED.

IS THE CITY PREPARED FOR THAT PORTION OF PERHAPS TIME WILL SEE, RIGHT?

BUT I I FEEL I GUESS I FEEL REASONABLY CONFIDENT THAT, YOU KNOW, THEY'VE BEEN THROUGH THE MIGRANT WAVES NOW SEVERAL TIMES.

SO IT'S NOT AS IF THIS IS THE FIRST OR SECOND TIME THAT THEY'RE DEALING WITH SOMETHING LIKE THIS.

THEY SO PRACTICE DOES HELP ON THINGS LIKE THAT, AND SO I I MEAN, YOU KNOW, THERE'S A LOT GOING ON SO SO BUT I BUT THAT OF ALL OF THE THINGS THAT ARE GOING ON.

I THINK THAT'S A LITTLE BIT LOWER DOWN ON THE ON THE LIST.

LET'S MOVE ON TO A STORY THAT UNFORTUNATELY GARNERED HEADLINES AROUND THE WORLD.

AND THAT IS AS SEMINOLE COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPUTY SEAN GRAYSON NOW HAS BEEN CHARGED WITH MULTIPLE COUNTS OF MURDER AFTER KILLING SONYA MASSEY EARLIER THIS MONTH IN SPRINGFIELD.

MICHAEL, THE BODY CAMERA FOOTAGE OF THIS ENCOUNTER IS REALLY HARD TO WATCH.

WHAT THOUGHTS GO THROUGH YOUR MIND WHEN YOU HAD TO SCREEN THE VIDEO.

TO BE HONEST, AMANDA, I PURPOSELY AND INTENTIONALLY DID NOT WATCH THE BODY CAM FOOTAGE UNTIL I WAS COMING ON TODAY AND I WATCHED IT IN THE GREEN ROOM SHORTLY BEFORE COMING UP.

AND AFTER.

SEEING IT AND JUST THIS AIR, WE'RE SOCIAL MEDIA WHERE WE BECOMING DESENSITIZED TO SEEING THIS.

THERE.

THERE'S A PARTICULAR MOTION THAT I DON'T THINK WE'VE DESIGNATED FOR BLACK PEOPLE SEEING LIFE TAKEN AWAY SIMPLY FOR THE FACT OF BEING BLACK.

IT'S ONE THING TO BE OUT.

AND B STOPPED OR POTENTIALLY PARKER ASKED BY POLICE FOR A PRETEXTUAL STOP FOR WALKING ON THE STREET.

BUT TO NOT HAVE THAT PIECE IN YOUR HOME.

AND SO LITTLE KNOWN AS A WOMAN BEYOND AS WOMAN AND HAVE A THREAT OR PERCEIVED DANGER AND CALLED THE POLICE FOR HELP.

ONLY TO END UP DYING YOURSELF.

IT'S UNACCEPTABLE.

SO THIS IS GOING TO BE.

A STORY THAT WE'RE GOING TO FOLLOW.

AND THIS IS GOING TO BE SOMETHING THAT SIMILAR TO THE DEATH OF GEORGE FLOYD AND SO MANY OTHER NAMES THAT HAD BEEN INGRAINED IN AMERICAN HISTORY.

IT'S GOING FALL.

WE HAVEN'T SEEN HE'S GOT A LOT OF ATTENTION.

WE HAVEN'T SEEN THAT.

THE PROTESTS, THE QUITE THE SAME MOVEMENT IS TOOK OFF AFTER SAY THE MURDER OF GEORGE FLOYD.

WHY NOT VERY OFTEN THOSE PROTESTS HAPPENED BECAUSE WE HERE AT SOME OF THE STORY, SOMEONE FEE AND FOR THEIR LIVES AND THEY REACTED TO THAT.

WE'VE GOT BODY CAM FOOTAGE.

WE'VE GOT A LADY WHO CALL WHO'S GOT A POT OF WATER AND THE THREAT FROM THE OFFICER THAT I WILL SHOOT YOU IN THE FACE.

AND THEN HE DOESN'T OFFERS NOTHING AFTER THAT.

HE'S MY HE'S HE'S FIRED.

HE'S IN JAIL FOR MURDER.

THOSE ARE THE THINGS THAT OFTEN WERE LOOKING FOR WHEN IT HAPPENS.

THIS IS A DIFFERENT SITUATION AND THIS IS AN OFFICER WHO WORK FOR 6 DIFFERENT POLICE DEPARTMENTS IN 4 YEARS.

THERE'S GOT TO BE A NATIONAL REGISTRY OF THESE POLICE OFFICERS.

SO WE UNDERSTAND WHAT HAPPENED HERE.

WHY ARE YOU MOVING THEIR FEARSOME INFRACTIONS THAT PEOPLE SHOULD BE CONCERNED ABOUT?

THEY SHOULDN'T BE THERE FOR HIM TO BE AS CALM AS HE WAS WE SHOT THIS LADY IN HER FACE IN OUR HOUSE TO JUST SAY, YOU KNOW, WE DON'T NEED TO DO NEED TO APPLY ANY SHE'S GONE.

IT WAS A HEAD SHOT WE'VE WITH THE CALLOUS.

THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE HIRING OF THE OFFICERS WITH THE REVIEWS BECOMES AN OFFICER THAT ALLOWS SOMETHING THAT'S HARDER TO ACTUALLY, YOU KNOW, IN IN FORCE AGAIN, THAT IS YOU NOTED HE WAS FIRED FROM THE DEPARTMENT.

HE HE'S BEEN INDICTED.

THOSE STEPS TAKEN.

IS THAT SOMETHING THAT CAN'T BE LEGISLATED OR WE WERE ABLE TO GET A NATIONAL REGISTRY FOR CHILD ABUSERS.

THAT TOOK A LOT RECALL BACK IN THE 90'S WHEN ALL THAT WAS FLARING UP, WE GOT IT DONE.

THIS HAS TO HAPPEN.

WE CANNOT CONTINUE TO HAVE PEOPLE DIE BECAUSE AN OFFICER'S OVERZEALOUS AS HE WAS FOR WHATEVER THE REASON THERE'S A PROBLEM WITH HIS HIRING, THERE'S A PROBLEM WITH HIM.

AND UNFORTUNATELY WE HAVE OTHERS WANT POLICE DEPARTMENTS AROUND THE COUNTRY WITH GRACE ESPECIALLY.

WORKING 6 DIFFERENT THE COURSE OF 4 YEARS THAT NOT SETTING OFF A RED FLAG.

ANY HIRING MANAGER AT POLICE DEPARTMENT HR DEPARTMENT.

THE NEED TO LOOK INTO THE REASONS THAT THIS PERSON PARTED.

HAVE 6 OTHER OR 5 OTHER POLICE DEPARTMENT BEFORE GETTING HERE.

THAT WAS TYPE OF THINGS.

KIM, BE FROM A SYSTEM STANDPOINT, THE INSTITUTE THE BECOMES ALL THE MORE CRITICAL SO MANY DEPARTMENTS ARE DESPERATELY TRYING TO HIRE OFFICERS.

SO, INCLUDING CHICAGO POLICE DEPARTMENT THAT THEY'RE SHORT.

THEY'RE THEY'RE SHORT OF PEOPLE.

SO IT'S GOING TO LEAD TO PEOPLE BEING HIRED THAT SHOULDN'T BE HIRED A LIKE AS IN THIS CASE.

SO MUCH MORE TO FIND OUT HERE.

SURE.

WE ARE AROUND FEW OFFICES IN DEAD.

I MEAN, THERE'S A CLEAR WAY IN WHICH IT CAN BE DONE, BUT WE HAVE TECHNOLOGY OR OTHER THINGS THAT CAN BE IMPLEMENTED.

WHAT WAS SURELY BUT WHAT'S HAPPENING IF THIS IS WHAT'S HAPPENING, WE'VE GOT TO HAVE A BETTER ANSWER.

YEAH, I THINK I DON'T KNOW WHO COULD DISAGREE WITH THAT.

AFTER WATCHING THAT WE'RE GOING TO END THE SHOW BY TALKING ABOUT CHICAGO PUBLIC SCHOOLS BUDGET.

SO LET'S LOOK TO TO THE AND BECKY.

THE BOARD OF EDUCATION PASSED A NEARLY 10 BILLION DOLLAR BUDGET, BUT NOT WITHOUT OPPOSITION, INCLUDING FROM THE MAYOR'S OFFICE IN THE TEACHERS UNION.

BUT THESE WERE THE MAYOR'S APPOINTEES.

SO WHAT WELL, I SHOULD START BY SAYING THAT THIS BUDGET IS GOING NEED TO BE AMENDED.

IT DOES NOT INCLUDE ANY CONTRACTUAL REASONS BECAUSE THE CONTRACT FOR THE TEACHERS UNION BEING NEGOTIATE.

SO WE KNOW IT'S GOING TO GET MORE WILL LIKELY GET MORE EXPENSIVE, CORRECT.

AND I THINK THE MAYOR'S OFFICE IS ALSO AS WE REPORTED LAST PUSHING FOR SOME INTERESTING POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS, INCLUDING BORROWING MORE, WHICH I THINK OFFICIALS AT THE CPS BUDGET OFFICE WERE, YOU KNOW, KIND OF PUSHING BACK ON SAYING THAT'S NOT THE SOLUTION HERE.

ANOTHER THING TO PUT IN CONTEXT IS THAT WE'RE COMING TO THE END OF FEDERAL COVID MONEY IN THE SCHOOL SYSTEM AND NOT IN SCHOOL DISTRICTS ACROSS THE STATE AND EVERY STATE ACROSS THE NATION'S SCHOOL DISTRICTS ARE OUT OF THAT MONEY.

AND I THINK FOR THE LAST 4 YEARS, SCHOOLS PEOPLE DON'T REALIZE THAT SCHOOL BUDGETS HAVE BEEN SUPPORTED AND PROPPED UP BY THAT FEDERAL COVID MONEY.

IT'S GOING AWAY AND SO TOUGH CHOICES HAD TO BE MADE IN ORDER TO BALANCE THIS BUDGET AND GET PAST.

THEY DIDN'T EVEN REALLY THEY DIDN'T PASS IT ON TIME.

EVEN USUALLY THE PAST IN JUNE, THEY BUMPED IT TO JULY AND AGAIN, IT WILL LIKELY BE WE SAID WE'VE SEEN THIS IN THE PAST IN 2012, 2019, 2016, EVERY TIME THEY NEGOTIATED A NEW TEACHERS CONTRACT.

THEY HAVE TO PASS AN AMENDMENT IN SEPTEMBER OR OCTOBER 2 ADJUST THE BUDGET AGAIN AND MAKE SURE THAT IT WOULD BE BALANCED WITH RAISES AN AND COSTS INCLUDED.

SO TBD, I WOULD CONSIDER THIS DRAFT WON THERE WILL BE PROBABLY NOISE CONTINUING HARDEE'S WHO HAVE INTEREST NOISE CONTINUING IN MORE MONEY NEEDED.

AND WE ARE GOING TO LEAVE IT.

THERE ARE THANKS TO MICHAEL LEFT TRUMP.

THAT COULD RUFUS WILLIAMS AND STEVE DANIELS.

WE ARE BACK TO WRAP THINGS UP RIGHT AFTER THIS.

CHICAGO TONIGHT IS MADE POSSIBLE IN PART WHY THE ALEXANDRA AND JOHN NICHOLS FAMILY.

THE POPE BROTHERS FOUNDATION, ADDITIONAL SUPPORT IS PROVIDED BY.

AND THAT IS OUR SHOW FOR THIS FRIDAY NIGHT.

DON'T FORGET, YOU CAN GET CHICAGO TONIGHT AND THE WEEK IN REVIEW STREAMED ON FACEBOOK, YOUTUBE AND OUR WEB SITE THAT'S W T TW DOT COM SLASH NEWS NOW FOR THE WEEK IN REVIEW ON THE MEND.

A THANKS FOR WATCHING.

STAY HEALTHY AND SAFE AND HAVE A GOOD NIGHT.

GREAT WEEKEND.

STEPHEN, WANT TO GO TO YOU BECAUSE PENDING AND THE TRADE TALK ABOUT ART.

HOUSE SPEAKER MIKE MADIGAN AND HIS BEST FRIEND MICHAEL MCCLAIN.

FINALLY WANTING TO TAKE A SPLIT JUST AS THEY'RE ABOUT TAKE THE STAND TOGETHER.

REGULAR BEST FRIEND ACTIVITY.

YEAH, WAS VERY INTERESTING.

WASN'T AFT AFTER EVERYTHING HEARD MIKE MADIGAN MIKE MCLANE RELATIONSHIP COMMENT FOR TRIAL LAST YEAR, WHICH IS A VERY CLOSE RELATIONSHIP.

THEY VERY, VERY CLOSE FRIENDS THAT WENT WELL BEYOND AND, YOU KNOW, MIKE MADIGAN TO DIDN'T SEEM LIKE A GUY WHO HAD A LOT OF CLOSE FRIENDS TO BE HONEST FOR SOMEBODY SO POWERFUL.
