>> THANKS FOR JOINING US ON THE WEAKER OF YOU.

I'M PARIS SCHUTZ BUSLOADS OF MIGRANTS ESCALATE LEAVING A CITY AND A POLITICAL PARTY DIVIDED ON WHAT TO DO.

>> GOVERNOR PRITZKER PENS, A LETTER TO THE PRESIDENT PLEADING FOR HELP.

WE'RE TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT MIGRANTS ARE NOT OWN FLOORS.

MEANWHILE, OLDER PEOPLE IN CHICAGO RESIDENTS QUARREL OVER WHAT TO DO DOZENS OF BUS LOADS ARRIVED BY THE DAY CITY COUNCIL APPROVES A NEW LAW MANDATING TIPPED WORKERS RECEIVE THE SAME MINIMUM WAGE AS ALL OTHER WORKERS.

NASCAR ANNOUNCES LAP 2 FOR NEXT YEAR AND SUGGEST THIS YEAR'S RAIN-SOAKED RACE STILL MADE MONEY FOR THE CITY IN SPORTS.

THEIR BACKS AGAINST THE WALL.

THE BEARS COME BLAZING ON THURSDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL WHILE CHICAGO SPORTS FANS MOURN THE DEATH OF ONE OF THE GREATEST FOOTBALL PLAYERS OF ALL TIME.

HOMEGROWN LINEBACKING LEGEND BUTKUS.

AND THE ADDITION CA GO ICON.

AND NOW TO OUR WEEK IN REVIEW PANEL.

JOINING US ARE.

>> JIM DALY OF SOUTH SIDE WEEKLY, LAURA WASHINGTON OF ABC, 7 CHICAGO, THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE, MADISON'S OF A DROP OF BLOCK CLUB, CHICAGO AND MIKE MULLIGAN OF WSC ARE THE SCORE.

LET'S GET RIGHT INTO IT.

I WANT TO READ A LITTLE CLIP FROM GOVERNOR PRITZKER'S LETTER TO THE PRESIDENT SAYING, QUOTE, TODAY, ILLINOIS STANDS MOSTLY UNSUPPORTED AGAINST THIS ENORMOUS STRAIN ON OUR RESOURCES.

JIM DALY, ANY SIGNS THAT FEDERAL HELP IS ON THE WAY?

>> BUT, YEAH, I MEAN, WHAT WE'VE SEEN SO FAR AS THE PRESIDENT'S WILLING TO INCREASE BORDER SECURITY BY EXTENDING THE WALL AND ALSO WHO'S SUPPORTING WHO'S GOING TO PORT VENEZUELAN MIGRANTS, RESTART THOSE FLIGHTS.

BUT HE HAS NOT GIVEN ANY SUPPORT TO CHICAGO FOR THAT.

AND I THINK THAT SOMETHING THAT WE OFTEN HAVE TO THINK ABOUT WHAT TALKING ABOUT THIS IS THAT WE HAVE THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAS QUIETLY RESETTLED UKRAINIAN REFUGEES IN CHICAGO AND NO ONE'S REALLY NOTICE BECAUSE THEY'VE BEEN GIVEN WORK FEDERAL SUPPORT.

WE'RE NOT GETTING THAT FOR VENEZUELANS.

AND THAT DISCONNECT IS CLEARLY CREATING PROBLEMS.

AS JIM MENTIONED OR WASHINGTON, THE PRESIDENT.

>> POSSIBLY A BUILDING MORE OF THAT WALL THAT PRESIDENT TRUMP STARTED.

THAT WAS SO CONTROVERSIAL STARTING TO DEPORT VENEZUELAN MIGRANTS.

IS THIS A RESULT OF BLUE STATES AND DEMOCRATS FEELING THE PAIN THAT PERHAPS BORDER STATES HAVE FELT FOR A LONG TIME IS TOTALLY POLITICS.

AND I THINK THE PRESIDENT IS WORRIED THAT THIS IS GOING TO COME A MAJOR CAMPAIGN ISSUE IN 2024.

>> BORDER AND MY MY MIGRATIONS ALWAYS BEEN A HOT ISSUE BETWEEN DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS, BUT RIGHT NOW THE BIG DEMOCRATIC CITIES ARE UNDER THE SPOTLIGHT.

AND I THINK THAT'S THAT'S THE REPUBLICAN PARTY EFFORT AND BIDEN'S TRYING TO HOLD HOLD THAT BACK.

THEN A SENSE OF EDGE OF THE MAYOR THIS WEEK SAYING IT COULD BE AS MANY AS 2 DOZEN PLUS IS PER DAY WITH MIGRANTS HOW CAN THE CITY HANDLE THAT LOAD?

>> I THINK IT'S A QUESTION THAT ALL OF US HAVE.

THEY HAVE STRUGGLED TO KEEP UP WITH THE PACE OF BUSES THAT WE'VE HAD FOR THE PAST YEAR.

SO I JUST LIKE, I'M NOT SURE.

YOU KNOW, I THINK THEY'RE GOING TO DO A LOT OF THE SAME WHAT THEY'VE BEEN DOING.

STANDING UP THE TEMPORARY SHELTERS CONTINUING TO ASK STATE AND FEDERAL OFFICIALS FOR MONEY.

BUT WE'LL HAVE TO SEE WHAT KIND OF THE NEXT STEPS ARE.

IF WE REALLY DO SEE 2 DOZEN BUS IS COMING.

MIKE MULLIGAN, WE'RE WE SAID AT THE TOP, IT'S A POLITICAL PARTY DIVIDED BECAUSE YOU'VE GOT.

>> ALL THE PEOPLE POINTING HANDS AT THE GOVERNOR, THE GOVERNOR POINTING HANDS AT THE PRESIDENT.

THEY'RE ALL PART OF THE SAME PARTY HERE.

HOW THE GOVERNOR AND THE MAYOR DONE IN TERMS OF HANDLING THIS CRISIS, I THINK THEY'VE TRIED TO MAKE THEIR YOU KNOW, THE FEAR HERE IS.

>> WE KNOW WHAT A CHICAGO WINTERS LIKE.

AND I DON'T KNOW HOW THESE BUSES KEEP ARRIVING AT PACE THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, ARE PEOPLE GOING SLEEP IN BUSES?

ARE PEOPLE GOING YOU KNOW, HAVE HEAT IN BOSTON?

I MEAN, IT IS A POTENTIAL DISASTER.

AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE SOLUTION IS.

CLEARLY SOMETHING IS GOING TO HAVE TO HAPPEN.

I WONDER IF THEY THINK PEOPLE WILL JUST LEAVE ONCE IT GETS COLD, RIGHT TRY TO GO TO WHAT PLACE.

IT'S.

IT IS SCARY TO THINK ABOUT WHAT COULD HAPPEN WHEN THE CHICAGO AND NOT JUST THE WINTERS SAYS HEALTH, THEIR HEALTH.

YES, THERE ARE SAFETY CONCERNS BEEN VIOLENT INCIDENTS.

>> SOME OF THESE SOME OF THE ALDERMEN OR COMPLAIN ABOUT HOW SOME OF THEIR SHELTERS HAVE BECOME CENTER'S FOR PROSTITUTION ROBBERY, YOUNG CHILDREN ON THE STREET.

AND, YOU KNOW, UNATTENDED YOU'RE RIGHT, MIKE, SOMETHING'S GOING BLOW UP UNFORTUNATELY BEFORE.

BEFORE THAT MESSAGE GET ACROSS THAT ARE THE REASON MESSAGE MIGHT BE GETTING ACROSS.

NOW, AS YOU MENTIONED, LAWRENCE POLITICS.

YES, THE PRESIDENT.

>> THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY UNDERSTANDS WHAT'S AT STAKE NOW BECAUSE THIS IS HAPPENING IN DEMOCRATIC CITIES AND NOW JIM THERE'S SOME TALK FROM THE MAYOR THAT THIS 30 MILLION DOLLAR CONTRACT FOR TENT CITIES WITH THIS COMPANY CALLED GARDAWORLD.

THAT MAY NOT HAPPEN AFTER ALL.

IS THERE A PLAN B?

>> NOTHING I KNOW OF THE INTO THE POTENTIALLY HAVING A PLAN B, BUT THEY EXPLAIN WHAT IT IS AT ALL YET.

AT THE SAME TIME, THEY HAVEN'T PUT DOWN ANY 10 STAKES YET.

THERE'S NO LOCATIONS THAT HAVE BEEN PROPOSED YET.

THE MAYOR ALDERMAN TOO PRESENT LOCATIONS AND ALDERMAN HAVE UNDERSTANDABLY A LITTLE GUN SHY ABOUT THAT BECAUSE OF THE REACTIONS THAT THEIR COMMUNITIES MIGHT HAVE SO, YEAH, IT LOOKS LIKE THEY ARE STILL MOVING FORWARD WITH THE TENSE.

BUT NOTHING HAS HAPPENED IN THAT DIRECTION.

THEY MIGHT HAVE A PLAN B, BUT WE DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS INNOCENCE OF AGE OR I MEAN, YOU HAVE COMMUNITY MEMBERS EVEN IN PILSEN, ONE OF THE HEARTS OF THE LATINO COMMUNITY IN CHICAGO.

>> PUSHING BACK AGAINST SHELTERS THERE.

AND WHAT DOES THAT SAY ABOUT HOW DIFFICULT IT IS TO FIND A LOCATION THAT THAT IS GOING MAKE PEOPLE HAPPY.

>> WELL, I THINK IT SHOWS THAT THE SITUATION IS REALLY NUANCED JUST BECAUSE IT'S A LATINO MAJORITY NEIGHBORHOOD DOESN'T MEAN THAT THEY'RE NOT GOING TO RAISE CONCERNS THAT THIS MIGHT BE TAKING AWAY ATTENTION, FUNDING RESOURCES FROM ISSUES THAT THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD HAD.

LOTS OF PEOPLE BROUGHT UP, YOU KNOW, SKYROCKETING PROPERTY TAXES, INCREASE IN YOU KNOW, UNDERFUNDED AND LIKE UNDER ENROLLED SCHOOLS.

>> JUST AS THINGS THAT LIKE THEY WOULD LOVE TO SEE GET ADDRESSED.

MAYBE INSTEAD OF A SHELTER THAT'S GOING TO HOLD UP TO 1000, YOU KNOW, MIGRANTS AND, YOU KNOW, PROVIDE THEM PRESUMABLY CLOSE.

THINGS THAT NOBODY ELSE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD HAVE ACCESS TO.

WELL, I MEAN, YOU HAD ONE OTHER PERSON IN THE PAST SAYING THIS WAS PUTTING, YOU KNOW, THE BLACK COMMUNITY >> LET YOU KNOW, COMING TO A REALLY IT'S PITTING THAT ARE PERMANENT RESIDENTS VERSUS FOLKS THAT ARE NEW ARRIVALS AND >> WORRIED ABOUT THE RESOURCES WHERE WASHINGTON GOVERNOR PRITZKER SAYING THE STATE HAS SPENT UPWARDS OF 330 MILLION DOLLARS SO FAR.

IS THERE MORE STATE HELP ON THE WAY FOR THE CITY?

NO, THAT'S NOT WHAT GOVERNOR INDICATED THIS WEEK.

HE'S HE IS.

HE'S PUTTING THE KIBOSH ON THAT.

NOW >> THE HOUSE CHRIS WELCH MET WITH THE MAYOR ON BUBBLY WAS ON THURSDAY TO DISCUSS, POSSIBLY PLAY SOMETHING FOR THE LEGISLATURE.

BUT I DON'T KNOW THAT THAT'S THE VERY LIKELY PROSPECT TO WE'VE GOT TO RUN THE STATE.

WE'VE GOT TO RUN THE CITY.

WE ONLY HAVE SO MANY RESOURCES.

I THINK THAT WAS A MESSAGE JB PRITZKER WAS TRYING TO MEDICINES OF AGE OR WHAT EXACTLY IS THIS TRIP TO THE BORDER THAT THE MAYOR IS GOING TO TAKE VISIT WITH THE HOMELAND SECURITY OFFICIALS?

>> IT'S NOT SUPER CLEAR YET.

EXACTLY WHO'S GOING TO GO OR WHEN THIS DELEGATION IS GOING TO TAKE ITS TRIP OR REALLY EXACTLY WHERE THEY'RE GOING TO GO.

MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT FOR THEM 6 S WOULD LOOK LIKE COMING BACK WITH SOME INCREASED COLLABORATION WITH OFFICIALS LOCAL GROUPS DOWN THERE IN TEXAS.

COLLABORATION IS SOMETHING THAT.

I THINK ALL CITY OFFICIALS INVOLVED IN THE SITUATION HAVE BEEN.

THEY THAT THEY WISH IT WAS THERE.

YOU KNOW, THERE'S JUST REALLY NO COORDINATION OR HEADS UP.

YOU KNOW, WHEN BUSES ARE ARRIVING, WHAT THE CONDITIONS IN TERMS OF HEALTH CONDITIONS OF THE PEOPLE WHO ARE ON THE SPOT, WHAT THEIR NEEDS ARE, ARE THEY ALL ADULTS?

ARE CHILDREN INVOLVED OTHER NEWBORNS INVOLVED?

SO MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT IF THEY CAN COME BACK WITH A LITTLE BIT MORE OF A PLANNED, MAYBE A LITTLE BIT MORE OF, YOU KNOW, SINCE OF COMMUNICATION.

AND THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE LOOKING FOR.

WON LET'S HEAR WHAT THE MAYOR HAD TO SAY.

THINGS GOT A LITTLE TESTY WHEN ASKED ABOUT GOING TO THE SOUTHERN BORDER.

TAKE A LOOK.

>> I HAVE A WIFE.

I HAVE CHILDREN.

THEY HAVE SCHEDULES AND PLUS, WE STILL HAVE PUBLIC SAFETY THAT WE HAVE TO ADDRESS.

WE STILL HAVE THE OLD HOUSE THAT WE HAVE TO ADDRESS US TO HAVE A BUDGET THAT I HAVE TO ADDRESS.

AND I'M DOING ALL OF THAT WITH A BLACK.

WHY FREEZING 3 BLACK CHILDREN IN THE WEST OF CITY OF CHICAGO.

I'M GOING TO THE BORDER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

BUT I GOT TO CORRELATE THAT WITH ONE OF THE GOVERNMENT AND MAKING SURE THAT MY WIFE AND CHILDREN A SECURE AS WELL.

>> AGAIN, AT THE SAME TIME, YOU HAVE A GOVERNOR LIKE GREG ABBOTT IN TEXAS AND TO A LESSER EXTENT, I GOVERNOR DESANTIS IN FLORIDA, ALTHOUGH I DON'T KNOW IF HE'S STILL INVOLVED IN THIS QUITE AS MUCH SHOOTING.

IS THERE ANYTHING TO GET THEM TO TO CURB JUST PURPOSELY SENDING SURE.

THEY'RE DELIGHTED.

I MEAN THAT THERE IS A SINISTER ELEMENT OF BECAUSE IT IS.

>> ALL ABOUT POLITICS.

IT'S ALL ABOUT TRYING TO PUNISH.

>> DIFFERENT CITIES THAT WERE SANCTUARY CITIES I'M SURE THEY'RE DELIGHTED BECAUSE THEY HAVE GOTTEN TO A POINT NOW WHERE THEY'RE SENDING ALL THESE BUSES IN AND THERE'S NOWHERE DO WHAT PEOPLE ARE UTTERLY CONFUSED ABOUT WHAT THE HOW HANDLE THIS PROBLEM.

IT'S THE LACK OF HUMANITY INVOLVED IN THIS IS EXTRAORDINARY.

THE IDEA THAT THEY'RE JUST GOING TO KEEP SENDING BUSES.

NO ONE HAS ANY IDEA BOSSES HERE.

OH, HERE WE GO.

CRAZY.

DOES SEEM LIKE ULTIMATE.

HE'S GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE SOME FEDERAL.

YEAH, WE'RE DONE A SOLUTION.

THERE IS NO PATCHWORK STATES CITY LEVEL SOLUTION TO THIS.

I THINK WE.

>> WE'VE MADE THAT CLEAR SO FAR.

I WANT TO TALK ABOUT SOME OTHER CITY COUNCIL NEWS, OLDER PEOPLE TODAY APPROVED RAISING THE MINIMUM WAGE FOR TIPPED WORKERS.

BARTENDERS OTHER TIPPED WORKERS TO THE REGULAR MINIMUM WAGE OF $15.80 OVER A FOUR-YEAR PERIOD.

DO YOU THINK THE IMPACT OF THIS WILL BE?

WELL, IT DEPENDS ON WHO YOU ASK THE PROPONENTS OF THE MEASURE, WHICH PASSED BY PRETTY SIGNIFICANT MARKETING WAS 36 TO 10 IN THE CITY COUNCIL.

>> ARE SAYING THAT THIS WILL EVEN THE PLAYING FIELD FOR WORKERS WHO HAVE BEEN LEFT OUT OF THE CONVERSATION, PARTICULARLY WOMEN OF COLOR WHO ARE USUALLY THE BOTTOM OF THE OF THE WORK SCALE.

THE RESTAURANT INDUSTRY'S BEEN VERY UNHAPPY ABOUT BECAUSE THEY FEEL IT.

NOW STARTING TO SEE.

BUT THEN SOME OF THE ALDERMEN VOTED AGAINST BECAUSE THEY FEEL IT IS GOING HURT.

THE RESTAURANT BUSINESS.

IT'S GOING TO HELP PUT SPECIALLY THE SMALLER MOM AND POP IN MORE JEOPARDY FINANCIALLY AND THAT AND THAT IT MAY ALSO AFFECT TIPS THAT CUSTOMERS START TO THINK, WELL, YOU KNOW, THESE PEOPLE ARE GETTING PAID MINIMUM WAGE RIGHT AWAY SO THOSE THOSE ARE THE ARGUMENTS ARE OUT THERE, BUT THE BUT THE PROPONENTS ONCE ONE US SOUND ARGUMENT ON AND I THINK THERE ARE SOME WORKERS THAT WORRY ABOUT THAT.

SURE, THEY WORK.

THEY WORK FOR TIPS TO GET GREAT TIPS AND NOW THEY'RE THINKING, WELL, MAYBE FOLKS WILL BE SO PROUD THAT HIT ME SO WELL BECAUSE OF.

>> BECAUSE OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF THEM IN WHICH BUT IT'S FOR YEARS NOW TO FACE THIS IN.

SO WE'LL SEE ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THE BONES ARE ALSO SAYING THAT THE 4 YEARS GIVES US TIME TO TINKER WITH THE LAW.

IF WE FIND THAT IS HAVING ITS NEGATIVE EFFECT OF RESTAURANTS ARE CLOSING, OUR PEOPLE ARE MOVED THERE THAT.

MAYBE WE CAN ADJUST, MAYBE GIVES THE RESTAURANT LITTLE ROOM CHANCE ALL RIGHT.

SO TO OF THE BUFFET.

I WANT TO ALSO MENTIONED THIS A CONTROVERSIAL SHOTSPOTTER THIS MACHINERY THAT'S ON POLLS ALL ACROSS THE SEA THAT SUPPOSEDLY DETECTS GUNSHOTS AND >> THEN THE POLICE ARE DISPATCHED TO THE AREA.

POLICE SUPERINTENDENTS TELLING AS TOUTED HIS VIRTUES MAYOR JOHNSON CAMPAIGNED ON GETTING RID OF IT.

SO IT'S GOING TO WIN THIS ARGUMENT HERE.

>> I MEAN, I THINK THAT, YOU KNOW, IT'S SNOWING HAS SAID REPEATEDLY THAT HE LOVES TECHNOLOGY AS A CRIME FIGHTING TOOL.

I THINK THAT POLICE GENERAL, WE LOVE TECHNOLOGY AND SURVEILLANCE TOOLS.

AND I THINK IT'S ALSO VERY DIFFICULT.

ONCE YOU'VE GOT A PIECE OF INFRASTRUCTURE IN PLACE TO ROLL THAT BACK, THERE'S A DEGREE TO WHICH GENIE IS OUT OF THE BOTTLE.

THERE.

JOHNSON DID CAMPAIGN GETTING RID OF SHOTSPOTTER STALLING HAS ONLY SAID THAT HE WOULD TALK TO THE MAYOR ABOUT IT.

SO I I'M NOT SUPER OPTIMISTIC THAT THERE WILL BE A PUSH FROM THE CITY LEVEL TO GET RID OF IT.

HOWEVER, LAST A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT BY THE MACARTHUR CENTER FOR JUSTICE THAT ALLEGES THAT CPD HAS USED SHOTSPOTTER IN A DISCRIMINATORY WAY FOR SHOT, STOP AND INCIDENTS THAT WAS ALLOWED TO PROCEED BY A FEDERAL JUDGE.

SO THIS MIGHT WIND UP COMING DOWN TO THE COURTS AND MAYBE THE COURT SAID TAKE THAT DECISION AWAY FROM AMERICA DOESN'T HAVE TO MAKE THAT DIFFICULT DECISION.

>> THAT HE CAMPAIGNED ON.

>> ALL RIGHT.

MIKE MULLIGAN, NASCAR.

IT WAS WET.

IT WAS IT WOULD DIDN'T LOOK LIKE IT WAS THAT WELL ATTENDED.

I'M JUST 100 MILLION 9 MILLION OUT MY MIND BECAUSE I TELL YOU WHAT, LIKE.

BOATHOUSE MORE RIGHT?

THE HOTELS WERE FULL WHEN TENANTS TO LIVE FOR WEEKEND.

AND IT YOU UP A LITTLE AND IT WAS RAINING AND LIKE I TRY FASTER ON LAKE SHORE DRIVE AND THOSE CARS WERE NO OFFENSE TO ANYONE.

>> DON'T TELL I THINK THAT IT WAS VERY COOL.

I MEAN, I KNOW THEY HAD TO CUT IT OFF AND I I WAS KIND OF AGAINST IT.

I THOUGHT IT WAS IDIOTIC.

DID THE IDEA LIKE THE ART INSTITUTE, DANGER OF SOMETHING BREAKING OR SO THEY HAD MOVE SOME PIECES OF I THOUGHT THAT WAS INSANE.

BUT I WATCHED IT AND I GOT TO TELL LIKE MY KIDS WATCH THAT IT WAS IT WAS REALLY VERY BEAUTIFUL POSTCARD TO CHICAGO IN A WAY NOW WE NEVER LOOKED ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL.

AND SOME OF THOSE SHOTS THEY HAD COMING OFF THE LAKE FRONT END.

I MEAN, IT I WAS SURPRISED.

I'M NOT A NASCAR GUY.

AND I REALLY THOUGHT THIS IS DUMB.

THIS IS NOT OUR CULTURE.

WHY ARE WE PUTTING A BUNCH NASCAR MILLER SCOGGIN?

I THOUGHT IT WAS SENSATIONAL.

ALL RIGHT.

BUT JIM DALY, LET'S DIG INTO THESE NUMBERS.

109 MILLION DOLLAR ECONOMIC BENEFIT FOR THE CITY.

IS THERE SOME NUANCE HERE?

I THINK, IS A LOT OF NUANCE.

I MEAN, I THINK THAT THOSE NUMBERS, YOU KNOW, WE WE REPORT THEM BECAUSE IT'S AND TOUTED AS A STUDY.

>> BUT THIS IS A STUDY WHERE THE METHODOLOGY IS SUSPECT.

I THINK THE DATE IS CAKE.

THE TEMPLE UNIVERSITY.

BUT THE THE STUDY SIGNED A CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT WITH NASCAR TO NOT RELEASE THE DATA.

I CAN'T GET A HOLD OF ANY OF RESEARCHERS WHO DID THAT STUDY.

I DID SPEAK TO ALLEN SANDERSON, WHO IS AN ECONOMIST AT THE U OF C WHO WAS VERY SKEPTICAL ABOUT IT.

HE SAID THAT YOU CAN TAKE THAT 100 MILLION AND MOVED US WILL PLACE POINT TO THE LEFT TO GET A BETTER SENSE OF IT.

BUT ULTIMATELY, IF YOU LOOK AT THE HOTEL USA VOLLEYBALL BROUGHT MORE PEOPLE TO CHICAGO HOTELS.

THE NASCAR DID ACCORDING TO THE REPORT IN NASCAR NUMBER WAS 6200 PEOPLE USA.

VOLLEYBALL WITH 6300.

ANOTHER THING ABOUT THAT REPORT IS THAT ALL OF THE CORPORATE SPENDING ESTIMATES WERE GIVEN TO THE THE RESEARCHERS BY NASCAR THEMSELVES.

THE NASCAR CAME OUT WITH PROJECTION BEFORE THE RACE OF HOW MUCH ECONOMIC IMPACT THAT WOULD BE.

IT WAS VERY SIMILAR.

THINK THE ESTIMATED LIKE 113 MILLION.

SO I WOULD TAKE ALL OF THAT WITH HUGE GRAIN OF SALT.

THERE'S ALSO THE FACT AS DOCTOR SANDERS MENTIONED THE THE IMPACTS THAT HE DOESN'T LOOK AT ANY OF THE LOSS OF REVENUE.

I REPORTED WHAT WOULD HAVE WEAKENED.

SO A BUSY YOU KNOW, IT'S VERY BUSY WEEKEND MUSEUM CAMPUS SAID THAT THEY LOST SOMETHING LIKE 3.5 MILLION DOLLARS.

THE CITY 3 MILLION DOLLARS ON POLICE OVERTIME AND RESURFACING THE ROADS.

OF THAT WAS INCLUDED IN THE REPORT.

SO I THINK THAT THE THE ESTIMATE OF VALUE WAS OVERSTATED AND WE ALSO DIDN'T INCLUDE THE COSTS.

LET'S JUST SAY THERE WAS NEVER GOING TO BE A BAD REPORT HERE.

MATTER WHAT HAPPENS, GET WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.

SO >> SURPRISE.

MAYOR JOHNSON DIDN'T TRY TO GET OUT OF THIS CONTRACT AND BROUGHT IT BACK FOR ANOTHER YEAR.

WELL, YOU KNOW IT'S IT'S IT'S IT'S YOUR TO YOUR POINT EARLIER, IS THIS A LOT EASIER TO STAY IN A CONTRACT STAY IN A DEAL DONE TO GET OUT?

AND I THINK THAT, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE HIT.

YOU KNOW, MAYOR IS A BIG BOOST FOR THE CITY.

HE LOVES EVENTS HE LOVES TO THINGS ARE GOING TO BRING PEOPLE INTO THE CITY MAKE THEM ENJOY THE CITY.

SO I THINK THAT THAT'S ONE REASON WHY TRACTOR TO HIM.

THE OTHER ISSUE, THOUGH, IS THE COST OUR COSTS IN TERMS OF WHAT WHAT MAINTENANCE IN TERMS OF CLEAN UP ALL THE KIND OF THING THAT HE'S SAYING THAT WE'RE THAT CAN NEGOTIATE A DEAL.

THIS GOING.

>> REDUCE SOME OF OUR CARS.

BUT THERE'S NO THAT THEY'RE STILL TRANSPARENCY IN TERMS OF WHAT THAT WE'RE GOING TO REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF TIME I SET OUT TAKE WHAT'S WHAT'S THAT CAN LOOK LIKE NOW?

WELL, HOPEFULLY WON'T TO DO WITH SOME OF THE OTHER ISSUES THAT THE MUSEUM'S HAVING A CLOSE ANOTHER.

>> OTHER DISRUPTION, IF IT'S LESS TIME, BUT STILL GOING THEY WORK.

RIGHT AROUND BUILDING.

THOSE STANDS.

AND SO HOW CAN THEY DO THAT IN LESS TIME TO QUESTION THE TRAFFIC?

I MEAN, EVEN A COUPLE DAYS BEFORE TRYING TO GET AROUND, THERE WAS NOW YOU'VE GOT SOME DOWNTOWN ALDERMAN STAYING ONCE AGAIN.

WE WEREN'T CONSULTED ANYWHERE.

WE HEARD THIS BEFORE.

WE HEARD THIS WITH EVERY SINGLE PREVIOUS MAYORS THAT KIND OF MEET THE NEW BOSS.

SAME AS THE OLD BOSS ON THESE KINDS OF THINGS.

KNOW, IT'S THAT OR IF IT WAS JUST SORT OF A COMMUNICATIONS SNAFU THE REPORT CAME OUT, I THINK THE NASCAR PRESS RELEASE CAME UP BEFORE THE CITIES.

>> SO I'M NOT SURE IF THEY WERE CAUGHT UNPREPARED OR ACTUALLY DIDN'T CONSULT ALL.

THERE'S THE MAYOR'S OFFICE CLAIMS THAT THEY DID DO SOME SORT OF PRESENTATION WITH THE DOWNTOWN ALDERS, A NUMBER OF THE ALTERS DID SAY THAT THEY WERE NOT CONSULTED.

SO I'M NOT REALLY SURE WHAT ONE THING TO GIVE A PRESENTATION DOG AND PONY SHOW AT THE LAST MINUTE.

ANOTHER THING TO ACTUALLY A ROOM TO SAID NEVER HAPPENED WITH THESE BIG THINGS, RIGHT, MEDICINE, THE A BLOCK CLUB.

YOUR PUBLICATION HAD A GREAT STORY ABOUT.

>> THE CTA PRESIDENT DORVAL CARTER.

HIS SALARY HAS RISEN 60% FROM WHEN HE STARTED TO $376,000.

NOW, WHILE THE COMPLAINTS OF SERVICE PROBLEMS HAVE MOUNTED AND THERE ARE NO PERFORMANCE REVIEWS ARE NO AUDIENCE AUDITS OF HOW HE'S DONE.

WHY SO LITTLE ACCOUNTABILITY.

>> I'M NOT SURE BECAUSE MY COLLEAGUES WHO WROTE THIS STORY, THEY FOUND THAT, YOU KNOW, LEADERS IN SIMILAR POSITIONS AND OTHER BIG METROS, THEY DO HAVE A CONTRACT.

THEY HAVE A MORE FORMALIZED PERFORMANCE REVIEW PROCESS.

YOU KNOW, I THINK IN YOU CTA OFFICIALS SAID, YOU KNOW, THE BOARD, THE BOARD DOES REGULARLY YOUR DOORBELL.

CARTER'S PERFORMANCE, EVEN IF IT'S NOT AS YOU KNOW, AS FORMAL OR IF IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE IN OTHER CITIES, THEY ASSURE THAT THEY DID.

BUT I DON'T THINK YOU CAN IGNORE WITH THAT WHOLE SITUATION.

AND THE INCREASE IN.

JUST RIDERS BEING FURIOUS AT HOW THE CTA OPERATES.

I MEAN, THINGS LIKE GHOST BUSTING GHOST TRAIN LIKE THAT'S COMMONPLACE VERNACULAR NOW.

AN ISSUE THAT REALLY UNITES THE CITY WHERE YOU LIVE YOU'VE BEEN GHOSTED, YOU KNOW, AND WE'D LOVE TO INVITE WE.

WE DO INVITE MISTER CARTER ON THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE HE'S KIND OF EVADED TO PUBLIC QUESTIONING.

HE HASN'T REALLY SHOWN UP AT CITY COUNCIL.

OTHER PEOPLE ARE KIND OF WONDERING WHERE HE HE DOESN'T SHOW UP ON THE CTA.

THE ONE THING LACK OF FOUND IS THAT YOU RARELY TAKES A NO WONDER.

>> THE CTS SHAMBLES, EVEN KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON THERE.

IT'S A IT'S A MYSTERY IN THE MAYOR SAID DURING DURING THE CAMPAIGN THAT HE WAS UNHAPPY WITH.

>> THE CTA SERVICE AND THAT HE HE ONE POINT, I THINK SAID THAT HE WOULD LOOK THE CEO, BUT HE'S BEEN PRETTY SILENT EVER SINCE ALRIGHT.

WELL, AGAIN, THAT INVITE IS TO THE CTA PRESIDENT COMING IN.

ANY ONE AGENCY HEAD TO COME ON THIS >> MIKE MULLIGAN, THE INVITE IS OPEN ALSO TO PAT FITZGERALD.

IF YOU'D LIKE TO COME ON TO TALK ABOUT THIS 130 MILLION DOLLAR LAWSUIT NOW IS LEVELING AGAINST NORTHWESTERN.

I GOT TO TELL I >> HEARD A LOT OF OF THE THE DAN WEBB NEWS CONFERENCE.

HE'S GOT A HIGH POWERED ATTORNEY.

WE ALL KNOW DAN WEBB IS AND, YOU KNOW, FRANKLY, HE MAY WELL HAVE A GOOD CASE.

I MEAN, THEY SUSPENDED HIM OVER THE REPORT THAT THEY WERE GIVEN AND PRETTY MUCH 2 DAYS LATER OUT.

ALL THE INFORMATION THAT WAS IN THE REPORT APPARENTLY CAME OUT IN THE DAILY NORTHWESTERN AND IMMEDIATELY THE PRESIDENT FIRES AND THERE WAS NO MEETING WITH THEM.

THERE IS NO KIND OF REVIEW OVER ANYTHING.

HE LITERALLY WENT FROM.

WELL, THIS IS A SUSPENSION, WANTS TO TAKE IT DURING YOUR VACATION SO IT DOESN'T IMPACT THE FOOTBALL SEASON TO OKAY.

YOU'RE FIRED.

I YOU I MEAN, LISTEN, IF ALL THE STUFF IS TRUE, IT'S HORRIBLE AND NOT DEFENDING ANY OF THAT.

BUT THERE'S LIKE NO DUE PROCESS WHATSOEVER.

YOU KNOW, THE KIND NOT ONLY LOSES HIS 68 MILLION WITH WHICH WAS COMING TO HIM, ALTHOUGH HIS FUTURE EARNING IS IS HIS RULING.

THAT'S LET'S HEAR WHAT THAT ATTORNEY DAN WEBB SAID ABOUT LAWSUIT AGAINST NORTHWESTERN.

>> THE FACT THAT GONE OUT AND DESTROYED HIS REPUTATION AS ONE OF THE BEST FOOTBALL COACHES IN AMERICA BASED NO LEGITIMATE REASON OR EVIDENCE.

IT'S DISGRACEFUL.

IT'S DESPICABLE CONDUCT ON BEHALF OF NORTHWESTERN AND MY CLIENT AND HIS FAMILY ARE ENTITLED TO THEIR DAY IN COURT FOR JUSTICE.

>> ONE OF THE BEST COACHES IN AMERICA WAS ONE OF IN HIS LAST SEASON.

HE WON COACH OF THE YEAR.

AND TOUCH IT.

HAD A LOT SUCCESS THERE.

BUT, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE NOW KIND OF TRYING TO DISCREDIT THE FOLKS THAT CAME FORWARD, SAYING THAT FOR, YOU KNOW, COUPLE THEM HEADED OUT FOR PAT THAT SHOW THAT THIS WAS KIND OF LIKE A SMEAR CAMPAIGN EVENTS.

AND WALLACE IS A TRUE ARE THESE ARE THE ALLEGATIONS TRUE AND >> AND THEY'RE SO WIDESPREAD.

IT'S IN DEFIES IMAGINATION THAT HE DIDN'T KNOW DIDN'T HAVE SOME INKLING THAT THEY WERE HAPPENING.

AND THAT'S GOING TO BE THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ARGUMENT.

AND, YOU KNOW, IF THEY CAN THAT YOU WOULD THINK THAT THEY WANT TO THE DOCUMENT WHO TOLD WHO SAID WHAT TO WHO WIN, BUT TO BE ABLE TO SHOW THAT THAT HE DID HAVE SOME KNOWLEDGE AND ULTIMATELY HE IS RESPONSIBLE.

HE'S HE'S AHEAD OF THAT THAT THAT'S A GOOD POINT THAT THEY MAYBE THEY HAVE DOCUMENTS TO SHOW SOME OF THOSE THINGS.

ALL WELL, AS THE BEARS TO PUT QUITE A DOCUMENT ON A THURSDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL, ESPECIALLY DJ MOORE, THE RECEIVER 238.

>> YARDS RECEIVING OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

YOU SPOKE WITH HIM THIS MORNING.

YEAH, I MEAN, WHAT AN UNBELIEVABLE PERFORMANCE BY HIM.

AND ONE OF INCREDIBLE PERFORMANCE BY THE TEAM.

>> I DON'T THINK ANYBODY EXPECTED THAT OF COURSE, LOST 14 CONSECUTIVE GAMES.

AND, YOU KNOW, I DO A PRE-GAME SHOW WITH A UNCREWED, SOME PATRICK MANLY, BOTH THEM.

>> CHANGE THEIR PICK.

WE'RE GOING TO PICK WASHINGTON WHEN ONE WITH THE BEARS BECAUSE BUTKUS PASSED AND THEY WERE THEY WERE IN GREEN BAY ON THE NIGHT.

THE BEARS ONE AFTER WALTER PAYTON.

>> I 1998, AND THERE WAS A FIELD GOAL BLOCKED AT THE SAID THAT HE COULD FEEL WALTER HOLDING HIM UP.

I THINK THEY JUST FELT THAT THERE WAS, YOU KNOW, THIS GREAT BEARS LEGEND HAD PASSED AWAY AND THAT SOMEHOW WOULD MEAN SOMETHING.

DON'T KNOW HOW THEY MEANT TO PUT.

I GOT TO TELL YOU, THERE WAS SOME.

DIVINE INTERVENTION.

SO THE BEARS KICK JUST THINKING OF GOING ON SO LONG WITHOUT ALMOST A FULL CALENDAR YEAR, ALTHOUGH JUST FIELD HAS PUT 2 PRETTY GOOD PERFORMANCES BACK TO BACK.

IS THE FINALLY ARRIVED.

IT'S GREAT QUESTION AND I THINK IT'S ONE THEY STILL HAVE TO FIGURE OUT.

AND OF COURSE, WE'VE GOT TO SEE WHERE THEY END UP IN DRAFT.

THERE'S A GREAT PLAYER AVAILABLE.

VERY HARD TO TELL WHERE THEY ARE AT RIGHT NOW.

THEY HAVE A WINNABLE SCHEDULE.

THEY'VE GOT THEY'VE GOT ABOUT 5 GAMES IN A ROW.

THEY COULD ACTUALLY STACK SOME WINS.

PROBLEM IS THEY'RE STILL THE TEAM THAT LOST THOSE GAMES.

THEY'RE STILL THE TEAM THAT HAS THESE ARE THEY ACTUALLY FIXED?

REMAINS TO BE ENDING BUNCH OF SUBS LAST NIGHT.

BUT YEAH, BEFORE 24 HOURS AGO, WE WERE TALKING ABOUT 90 PER FLOWS.

MAYBE HE BEING NUMBER STUDY SAY OF THE YEAR AT LEAST WHY DON'T KNOW FIT FOR THE YEAR, BUT HE SAVED IT FOR THIS WEEK FOR NEXT 10 DAYS ARE GOING TO >> WELL, WHAT ALL RIGHT.

SO LET'S TALK ABOUT BUTKUS BECAUSE YOU BROUGHT HIM UP.

I MEAN, PREPS OTHER THAN WALTER PAYTON, NO GREATER BEARS ICON WAS THE MOST.

WHAT IS WHAT IS HIS LASTING LEGACY YOU?

>> YOU KNOW, I THINK THAT NUMBER YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT LIKE A LOCAL GUY MADE GOOD STORY.

YOU KNOW, TAKE WENT WENT TO ILLINOIS.

ALWAYS WANT TO PLAY FOR THE BEARS THEY NET HE WENT HE NEVER I THINK OR 3 WINNING SEASONS.

HE NEVER WENT TO THE PLAYOFFS.

IT'S LIKE EXTRAORDINARY THE WAY THAT HE PLAYED IN THE FEROCIOUS NURSE AND THE COMMITMENT FROM A LOT OF LOSING TEAMS.

AND I THINK PEOPLE FEARED HIM BEFORE SNAP AND HE WAS THE MOST FEARED MAN IN FOOTBALL AND HE USED TO HIT PEOPLE AND MAKE THEM FEEL THAT HE WAS COMING AND HE LOVED TO SEND THAT MESSAGE.

I'M TELLING HE REPRESENTS SO MUCH OF WHAT CHICAGO IS ABOUT.

AND I THINK, YOU KNOW, KIND SOME OF THE CITY AND, YOU KNOW, THINGS ENDED POORLY.

AND AND YOU NEVER CAN NEVER LIVE HERE AGAIN, ALTHOUGH WE OWN SOME PROPERTY STANDARD FOR PALACE.

BUT, YEAH, I THINK IT WAS ME AND HAD ME AND HE AND HOW IT'S HAD A BIG ARGUMENT ABOUT BUCKETS TO COME TO COURT TO GET THE MONEY FELT HE WAS DOING.

THEY HAD A SETTLEMENT, BUT BUT THEN BUT HE WAS AWAY FROM THE TEAM FOR A LONG TIME.

HIT A SECOND CAREERS.

A PRETTY GOOD WAS AT ALL THESE MOVIES AND THE WITH SHOW.
