JOINING US ON THE WEEKEND REVIEW.

I'M AMANDA THAT 2024 MATCH IS SET.

PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE KAMALA HARRIS WHO SAYS HER RUNNING MATE IN THE RACE FOR THE WHITE HOUSE.

WAS CAME OUT OF THE GATE WITH AN ATTACK ON HIS REPUBLICAN OPPONENTS.

THESE GUYS ARE CREEPY AND YES, JUST WEIRD AS.

THE SELECTION MEANS ANOTHER VP CONTENDER WILL KEEP HIS CURRENT JOB.

IT'S AN HONOR TO TO BE ASKED EVEN SOME OF THOSE QUESTIONS ARE.

LIKE A COLONOSCOPY.

AND I KNOW ABOUT YOU WHAT I'M READY TO TAKE HIM OUT FOR ALLURE.

BECAUSE WE STAND RIGHT HERE IN ILLINOIS WITH JUST OVER A WEEK BEFORE THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION COMES TO CHICAGO, THE CITY'S POLICE SUPERINTENDENT SAYS OFFICERS ARE READY.

WE'VE LOOKED PAST PRACTICES.

WE LOOKED AT WHERE MISTAKES WERE MADE.

DIRECTED EVEN IF OTHERS QUESTION WHETHER THE CITY'S REALLY PREPARE.

KNOW FOR A FACT THAT PEOPLE ARE COMING AND PEOPLE ARE MOBILIZING INTENT ON VIOLENCE AND DIVERTING THE MEDIA ATTENTION FROM A CELEBRATION OF OUR DEMOCRACY TO A FOCUS ON THEIR RADICAL AND ANTI AMERICAN AGENDA.

MEANWHILE, A MONTH AFTER SONIA MASSEY'S AND COUNTY SHERIFF SAYS HE'LL STEP DOWN AT THE URGING OF MASSEY'S FAMILY AND THE GOVERNOR.

IT'S THE SHERIFF'S JOB TO MAKE PEOPLE FEEL SAFE AND HE'S DONE THE OPPOSITE OF THAT BY NOT ANSWERING QUESTIONS.

INVESTIGATION FINDS THE COOK COUNTY ASSESSOR'S IGNORING HOME IMPROVEMENTS WHEN VALUING PROPERTIES MISSTEP POSTING OTHER TAXPAYERS MORE THAN 400 MILLION DOLLARS AND THE WHITE SOX GIVE THEIR MANAGER THE BOOT AFTER LOSING.

21 GAMES ARE NOW TO OUR WEEK IN REVIEW PANEL.

JOINING US, OUR TINA SPEND ALL US FROM THE CHICAGO SUN-TIMES, ALICE NICK, CAN OF THE ILLINOIS ANSWERS PROJECT COURTLY J FROM THAT TRIBE AND LEADER MEN BLOCK CLUB CHICAGO.

NOW LET'S GET RIGHT TO IT.

TINA, OVER TO YOU.

WE KNOW VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS SHOWS GOVERNOR TIM WALZ FROM MANY OTHERS IN CONSIDERATION, INCLUDING ILLINOIS ZONE.

GOVERNOR JB PRITZKER SEVERANCE, SERIOUS CONSIDERATION.

I WAS ASKED THIS QUESTION BY THESE REPORTERS FOR THE SHOW AND I WOULD SAY WHAT WANT TO KNOW.

I HE WAS PART OF THE 6 AND I THINK BEING CONSIDERED 6 PEOPLE BEING CONSIDERED ENTIRE COUNTRY IS A BIG DEAL.

I DON'T THINK HE WAS EVER IN THE TOP 3, BUT THEY DID TAKE HIM SERIOUSLY.

HE DID FILL OUT THIS 200 QUESTION LOTS OF FOLLOWUP QUESTIONS ABOUT THEY ASKED FOR EVERY STATEMENT HE'S EVER PUT OUT SO THEY WANTED MESSAGING EVERYTHING THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT'S JUST NOT GET IN TROUBLE IN THE FUTURE.

SO HE WAS TAKEN SERIOUSLY IN THAT REGARD.

THE IN THE PROCESS, HE WAS ASKED THE SAME QUESTION TO SOMEBODY ELSE.

SO THAT'S GOVERNOR PRITZKER?

WELL, I THINK THEY WERE JUST BETTER REASONS TO PICK SOME OF THE OTHER PICKS.

IT CAME DOWN WAS KELLY SHAPIRO.

I THINK OBVIOUSLY THERE FROM MORE FROM SWING STATES.

I THINK THAT SOME OF THE APPEAL WITH PRITZKER WAS A LOT OF HIS FORTUNE THAT HE WOULD BE ABLE TO PUT BEHIND IT.

BUT I THINK A LOT OF THOSE RESOURCES AND HE'S, YOU KNOW, THINK BIG PACKER GOING TO BE HELPING DEMOCRATS ACROSS THE COUNTRY ANYWAY.

10, ANYTHING TO ADD THAT.

IT THINK IT'S FUNNY THAT HE TALKED ABOUT THE GRILLING PROCESS BECAUSE IT WAS LIKE 10 DAYS.

REVIEWED IT PROCESS.

I THOUGHT THOSE LITTLE FUNNY ABOUT THOSE HONEST OF HIM TO SAY THAT IT WAS A GRUELING 10 DAY PROCESS OR SO.

BUT IMAGINE BEING VETTED FOR MONTHS AND MONTHS LIKE EVERYONE ELSE IS USUALLY ANTICIPATION OF IT.

NOW CORLEY, WHAT DO YOU THINK THIS MEANS FOR GOVERNOR PRITZKER'S I THINK THAT HE'S STILL CONSIDER UP RESIDENCY IN THE FUTURE.

BUT RIGHT NOW STATE HE IT ALLOWS HIM TO STAY IN THE STATE THAT HE WANTS.

TALK ABOUT PLANNING ILLINOIS, A LOT.

HE'S GOT SO MUCH FOR THE STATE.

SO I THINK THAT IT GAVE HIM A LITTLE BIT MORE OF A NATIONAL PRESENCE WHEN IT COMES TO HIS BE OF A PRESIDENT IN THE FUTURE.

SO WE'LL SEE WHERE THAT GOES THAT PROFILE THAT NOT BEING CHOSEN.

YOU DON'T THINK TO HURT?

YOU I DON'T THINK SO AT ALL.

THINK THAT IT GIVES HIM MORE OF A HOUSEHOLD NAME.

PEOPLE PROBABLY DIDN'T KNOW WHO HE WAS.

AND I THINK THAT PART OF THE REASON HE DIDN'T GET KILLED IS BECAUSE HE DIDN'T KIND OF HAVE A NATIONAL PRESENCE LIKE THE OTHER GOVERNORS, THE TINA, WHAT ABOUT YOU IS YOU FOCUS ON STATE GOVERNMENT REPORTING?

WHAT CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT PRITZKER'S FUTURE?

HE DOES SEEM TO REALLY HAVE NATIONAL AMBITIONS.

IF NOT THIS YEAR IS IN THE FUTURE.

I DO THINK IT'S IN THE FUTURE.

BUT KAMALA HARRIS WINS THE PRESIDENCY, SHE WILL LIKELY RUN FOR RE-ELECTION.

SO YOU'RE SETTING UP ANOTHER TIME LINE OF, YOU KNOW, 8 YEARS OR ILLINOIS.

WE DON'T HAVE TERM LIMITS FOR GOVERNORS.

HE COULD JUST BE A GOVERNOR MAKE LOTS OF DECISIONS.

I KNOW THAT'S PART OF WHY HE DIDN'T WANT TO VICE PRESIDENT.

HE DIDN'T WANT TO BE NUMBER 2.

HE LIKES MAKING DECISIONS.

YOU WANT TO BE WITH SON IN CHARGE.

WHEN IT SINKS TO GIVE UP THAT POWER REALLY DIFFICULT FOR HIM.

HE YOU KNOW, IT'S IT'S AN HONOR TO BE EVEN CONSIDERED WHAT HE SAID IN IT.

AND IT IS.

BUT HE LIKES TO BE THE DECISION MAKER AND SAID HE HAD NOT REALLY CONTEMPLATED THE NOTION OF BEING A MEMBER OF THE CABINET.

SOMETHING ELSE THAT SEEMS TO BE A POTENCIAL.

BUT WE REALLY DON'T KNOW, KNOW OVER TO YOU.

WHAT ABOUT THE THE MOMENTUM WITH THIS RACE AND JUST TRUMP'S ADJUSTMENT TO RUNNING AGAINST VICE PRESIDENT, KAMALA HARRIS VERSUS PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN.

YEAH, I THINK FOR GOVERNOR PRITZKER.

I MEAN, I THINK DEMOCRATS ARE JUST EXCITED TO HAVE A VIABLE, TAKE IT TO GO UP AGAINST TRUMP.

NOW, SET ON FOR PRITZKER, I THINK, YOU KNOW, A GREAT CONSOLIDATION PRIZES, THE BEING THE MOST POWERFUL PERSON IN THE WHOLE STATE WITH THE 3RD LARGEST CITY.

THAT'S NOT BAD ONE FOR HIM.

DEMOCRATS HAVE REALLY UNITED AROUND THE HARRIS WAS TICKET I THINK WAS BRINGS ANOTHER GREAT SNAP OF ENERGY TO THIS I WAS A SCROLLING THROUGH MY MY TWITTER AND I SAW THE CLIPS OF HIM KIND OF DOING A MEDIA CIRCUIT AUDITIONING FOR THE JOB IN REAL TIME.

I THINK HE CAPTURED THE MOMENT ON.

SENT THAT TO A COUPLE PEOPLE JUST BECAUSE OF HOW CLEARLY HE SPOKE.

SO DEMOCRATIC PARTY THAT HAD SUCH A DIFFICULT TIME MESSAGING, IT JUST SEEMS LIKE WALLS POTENTIALLY BREATH OF FRESH AIR.

HE WAS ONE OF THE DEADLY THAT CAME UP WITH THIS WEIRD IN THE SALT IT TO THE TRUMP ADVANCE TICKET.

ALEX, CAN YOU WEIGH IN HERE JUST THE TRUMP TEAM AND HOW THEY'RE NAVIGATING THESE NEW CAMPAIGN IT SEEMS LIKE THEY'RE STILL TRYING TO FIND THEIR LINE OF ATTACK AND THEIR MESSAGE.

THEY'RE SORT OF, YOU KNOW, IF YOU CALL IT FLAILING A LITTLE BIT, THERE WAS A I NEWS CONFERENCE THAT THAT TRUMP TO THE OTHER DAY.

WHAT'S INTERESTING AND ONE THING THAT THEY ARE TRYING TO CALL ATTENTION TO IS THE SORT OF LACK OF SO FAR THEY HAVEN'T DONE AN INTERVIEW USUALLY BY THIS POINT THAT A NOMINEE AND THEIR RUNNING MATE WOULD DO AN INTERVIEW TOGETHER.

AND WE HAVE BEEN SEEING THESE MESSAGES LIKE WEIRD AND, YOU KNOW, TRYING TO GET THAT THE VIBES, BUT NOT AS MUCH IN TERMS OF WHAT THE YOU KNOW, POLICY AGENDA IS GOING TO BE YOUR SORT WAITING FOR MORE DETAIL THERE.

THAT'S FAIR OR WOULD YOU BELIEVE THAT A FAIR CRITICISM FROM TRUMP OF THE TEAM AND GIVING INTERVIEWS WITH REPORTERS?

I THINK AT THIS POINT THEY'RE JUST TRYING TO KEEP A GOOD THING GOING AS LONG AS THEY CAN.

AND I THINK THAT MOMENTUM IS GOING IN THEIR DIRECTION.

THEY'RE GETTING ALL THIS GREAT, YOU KNOW, EARNED MEDIA ATTENTION FROM HIS RALLIES AND IT'S SORT OF LIKE WHY SHOULD WE EXPOSE OUR CAN DO ANY DIFFERENT WAY THAT IS GOING RISK ANYTHING.

BUT IT SEEMS LIKE THERE, YOU KAMALA VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS, TALK TO SOME REPORTERS ON TARMAC IN SORT OF CASUAL Q AND A AND SAID THAT SHE PLANS TO SIT DOWN SOON.

AND I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING WHAT A REAL AND IF YOU WOULD LOOK LIKE AND SHE DOES TALK REPORTERS OFF THE RECORD ALL THE TIME AND ESPECIALLY THE PEOPLE HAVE FOLLOWING HER FOR MANY YEARS.

SO THEY ARE GETTING THAT ACCESS.

AND I THINK THAT'S HELPING A LITTLE BIT.

BUT THEY'RE NOT GETTING AS MAD.

UNLIKE BIDEN WHERE THERE IS ALL THESE COUNTERS OF WHERE THESE INTERVIEWS BECAUSE SHE'S ACTUALLY TALKING TO THOSE REPORTERS WERE ON A PLANE OR AT THE EVENTS.

I THINK THAT'S HELPING TO GOING OVER THAT MUCH EVER KNOWN FOREVER.

WE ALL KNOW AND THANKS TO EACH OF YOU FOR BEING AN ALLY PROGRAM HERE WITH US THAT YOU'D NEVER KNOW YOU CAN THERE'S A MASSIVE HELP IN THE ROOM.

HERE LOOK AT.

ALEX IS BEAUTIFUL TIE OVER.

IS THE ISRAEL-PALESTINE I DON'T THINK HARRIS, THE TICKET IS REALLY CLARIFIED EXACTLY WHAT THEIR POSITION ON THIS ON FOR YOUNG VOTERS.

I KNOW THAT THIS IS BEYOND POLITICS.

THIS IS A MORAL ISSUE, STOPPING THE WAR AS QUICKLY AS HARRIS HAS BEEN VERY VOCAL ABOUT WANTING TO PUT HUMANITARIAN AID INTO THE GAZA REGION ON INTO ARMED REFUGEES.

PEOPLE WHO ARE THERE, BUT WHETHER SHE WILL CLEANLY BREAK FROM BIDEN'S STANCE ON ISRAEL, I THINK HAS YET TO BE FOR SURE.

I HAVE TO DEFINITELY AGREE WITH SHE HAS A BIG OPPORTUNITY WHEN SHE COMES TO CHICAGO INDIAN, SEE TO KIND OF PLATFORM BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW THAT PLATFORM.

DOESN'T HAVE ONE.

YOU HAVE PEOPLE HERE.

ORGANIZERS THAT HAVE BEEN PROTESTING FOR A CEASE-FIRE IN GAZA?

BLACK PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT A POLICE REFORM AND A REPARATIONS.

SO SHE HAS A BIG OPPORTUNITY WHEN IT COMES TO THESE IN A COUPLE REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS ORGANIZATIONS AND TRANS ADVOCACY GROUPS ALSO PLANNING TO WE ARE JUST ABOUT A WEEK OR SO OUT FROM THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION.

SO IT CAN TO THAT AND MAKE BACK TO YOU.

WHAT ARE YOU EXPECTING BY MEANS OF PROTEST?

WE'VE HAD MORE BACK AND FORTH BOTH IN THE COURTS AND THEN FROM ORGANIZATIONS, INCLUDING THE ANTI-DEFAMATION LEAGUE THAT SAY THEY'RE EXPECTING ANTI-AMERICAN SENTIMENT, VIOLENCE.

I MEAN, FRANKLY, I CAN TELL YOU, I MEAN, I THIS HAS BEEN SUCH A FAST-MOVING SITUATION WITH THE CHANGES IN THE TICKET ON.

WE HAVEN'T SEEN A CAMPAIGN SO SHORT LIKE I THINK THAT ASHLEY HARRIS CAN BENEFIT FROM THE ENERGY AROUND THAT ON.

I DO THINK SOME FRUSTRATIONS FROM VOTERS ARE BEING CALM GIVEN AT BIDEN DOES NOT INVOLVE ANY MORE.

OBVIOUSLY.

YEAH, THE GENOCIDE, JOE LINE AND QUESTIONS ABOUT HIS BUT THE ISSUES OF THE DAY AND OF OUR COUNTRY ARE STILL VERY MUCH ON HERE I DON'T KNOW IF PEOPLE IN CHICAGO HAVE AS MUCH EXCITEMENT TO VOTE FOR A FORMAL FEDERAL PROSECUTOR WHO HAS A RECORD OF THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM THAT COMES WITH A PERSON'S HOW DAY TURNED OUT FOR A FORMER SCHOOL TEACHER UNION PICKET ADVOCATE.

THAT WAS THE MAYOR OF CHICAGO.

SO I THINK FRUSTRATIONS FROM LARGE SWATH OF DEMOCRATIC VOTERS ARE STILL THERE.

THE SUPERINTENDENT OF THE CHICAGO POLICE DEPARTMENT'S MEMBER WITH A LEADING DEPUTY FOR THE SECRET SERVICE WAS ON.

AWW SAID WE ARE READY.

WHAT IS YOUR ASSESSMENT?

IS THE CITY PREPARED?

I HAVE NOT PERSONALLY INSPECTED THE CHICAGO POLICE DEPARTMENT OTHER THAN THE WE SAW A LOT OF CLIPS.

THE SHOW, TOP OF THE SHOW OF FRANKLY LOT WHO WAS VERY FAMILIAR AND HAS NOT CHANGED IN RECENT, YOU KNOW, DECADES SINCE THE 60 A CONVENTION OF THE BLUE HELMETS, THE BATONS, MIGHT MAKE PEOPLE FEEL A LITTLE BIT TENSE.

BUT HONESTLY, I THINK THAT ONE THING WE'VE HEARD A LOT FROM THE CHICAGO POLICE IS THAT THEY'RE VERY, VERY GOOD AT KEEPING ORDER FOR OR KEEPING PEACE, I GUESS IN PLANNED EVENTS.

THE NATO SUMMIT IN 2012, YOU KNOW, PLANNED PROTESTS.

THEY PARADE ROUTES.

THEY ARE ABLE TO PREPARE AND PLAN EVERYTHING REALLY WELL AND KNOW EXACTLY WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN.

IT'S THE SPONTANEOUS KINDS OF OUTPOURINGS OF A PROTEST.

YOU KNOW, THINGS LIKE WE SAW IN 2020 WHEN THE POLICE WERE CAUGHT REALLY FLAT FOOTED.

SO I THINK THEY SEEM VERY CONFIDENT.

CERTAINLY SEE A LOT OF SECURITY OUT THERE GIANT PERIMETER THAT THEY PUT AROUND THE UNITED CENTER.

I KNOW THERE ARE STILL SOME, YOU KNOW, CONFLICTS UP IN THE AIR.

BUT THE PRO, THE GREAT I WAS ABOUT TO SAY THE PROTEST ROUTES, BUT I DON'T KNOW.

I MEAN, LIKE SAID, WE'LL JUST HAVE TO SEE.

BUT I THINK THAT THEY SEEM PRETTY CONFIDENT LEAVE.

SOME HAD A LOT OF TIME TO PREPARE FOR THIS AND TRAINING CORLEY OVER TO YOU.

YOU HAVE REPORTED THAT THE CITY IN THE POLICE DEPARTMENT ARE GOING TO BE GETTING 75 MILLION DOLLARS.

THAT IS NOT AN INSIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF MONEY IN FEDERAL FUNDING FOR CONVENTION SECURITY.

WHAT'S THAT MONEY BEING USED SOLVE?

THE 75 MILLION IS FOR TZ SECURITY ACROSS THE SO 26.7 OF THAT IS GOING TO PERSONNEL WITH CPD GETTING 17.6 BIG IN THE BIG THE BIGGEST BULK OF THAT MONEY.

AND SO IS TO REALLY KIND THAT HER CAR TELL PROTESTS, KEEP EVERYONE AROUND THE DNC SAFE IT'S REALLY CONCERNING THE MAYOR'S OFFICE HAS IN A LOT IS GOING TO PERMANENT ASSETS TO THE CITY AND WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT I GOT OF A HEAVILY REDACTED OF BUDGET MEREDITH FROM THE OFFICE OF BUDGET AND MANAGEMENT AND THEY KIND OF BROKE DOWN THIS 75 MILLION.

AND WHY GOT THOSE NUMBERS FROM?

BUT WE'RE REALLY KIND OF WHERE THEY'RE NOT BEING TRANSPARENT IS THEY GET A LOT OF MONEY FOR EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLIES AND WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS IN THIS KIND OF VERY WORRYING.

WHEN CAN YOU THINK ABOUT WHEN WE'RE TALKING POLICE AND HOW THEY COUNT A SURVEIL BLACK COMMUNITIES IN PARTICULAR AND THE BABIES THAT THEY HOPE THAT THEY CALL.

SO THESE COMMUNITIES AND THE BEST NEWS THEY CAN TEENS THE POLICE DEPARTMENT GETS A BIG BULK OF THE CHICAGO, BUT IT ALREADY ABOUT 2 BILLION DOLLARS.

SO TO SEE THEM MORE FUNDS INTO SEE THAT KIND OF A PERMANENT IMPACT ON COMMUNITIES IS JUST REALLY SCARY.

AND ESPECIALLY BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT BEING TRANSPARENT AROUND.

YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT EQUIPMENT IS.

IT BE USED TO BE ON THE DNC.

WHAT THEY HAVE SAID THAT IS GOING TO BE A PERMANENT SAYS WITH THE ACTUALLY MEANS WE DON'T KNOW.

IN MY REPORTING.

I TALK ABOUT HOW MILWAUKEE PREPARED FOR THE 2020 DNC WHICH IN THE END BEING A VIRTUAL BECAUSE OF THE PANDEMIC THEY BOUGHT TECHNOLOGY.

SO MONITOR CELL PHONES AND THEY KIND OF INCREASE THE CAMERA NETWORK.

SO THOSE ARE KIND OF THINGS THAT WE MAY BE ABLE TO HOW THEY USE THAT MONEY.

BUT WE'RE NOT SURE BECAUSE THE CPD HAS NOT BEEN TRANSPARENT.

AND THEY ALSO SAY IT'S BECAUSE OF SECURITY MEASURES.

THEY WANT TO GIVE TOO MUCH AWAY.

THAT'S SOMETHING THAT BEING HAS TOLD ME A HELICOPTER I THINK IS ONE.

ALL DAY.

YEAH, A SAFE AND REALLY INTERESTING WHAT THE CITY IS DOING LOCALLY UNDER THE AUSPICES OF WE ARE PREPARING FOR THE I WROTE HOMELESS ENCAMPMENT OFF THE DAN RYAN EXPRESSWAY THAT HAD BEEN THERE FOR 4 DECADES AND DIFFERENT VARIOUS AND FOR NEWS KIND OF A LEFT ALONE, HANDS OFF COMMUNITY.

PEOPLE WOULD COME AROUND AND SUPPORT THE PEOPLE THERE.

BUT ON THE POLICE, RATHER WOULD JUST DRIVE BY THAT ENCAMPMENT WAS CLEARED WEEKS AGO AHEAD TO GET AHEAD OF WHAT THEY SAW, WHAT CITY OFFICIALS SAID WOULD INTERRUPTION FROM THE SECRET SERVICE ENDED UP IN THE SECURITY I LOOKED AT THE SECURITY FOOTPRINT NEXT TO WHERE THE AND THERE WAS NOWHERE NEAR SO GLAD BROUGHT THAT.

I'M I'M SO YOU BROUGHT UP THE HOMELESS BACK THERE.

AND WE KNOW OHIO POLICE KILLED A HOMELESS BLACK MAN IN MILWAUKEE AND WITH THE OUT OF TOWN POLICE OFFICERS, 500 OF THEM COMING.

AND THAT'S PART OF THAT BUDGET BREAKDOWN.

$79,000 IS GOING TO TRAVEL, BUT THEY DID NOT SAY THAT WOULD GO OUT TOWARDS THEIR PAY FOR THE OUT OF TOWN POLICE OFFICERS.

AND THAT'S KIND THE WORRIES OF ORGANIZERS AND PEOPLE IN A COMMUNITY THESE OUTSIDE POLICE OFFICERS WILL BE OUT POLICING THEM.

CHICAGO POLICE LEADERS SAYING THAT THEY ARE GOING TO LEAVE CPD TO MONITOR IN NEIGHBORHOODS AND THESE ANYBODY COMING IN FROM OUT OF STATE AROUND CITY WILL BE MONITORING MORE THAN THE DNC.

BUT THERE'S STILL A LOT OF QUESTIONS IN THE AND CNN ARE WITH THE RNC.

WE DID SEE AND WESTERN OFFICERS ALL AROUND IN THE PERIMETER THEN THEY WERE NOT OUTSIDE.

SO I'M ASSUMING WOULD BE SOMETHING SIMILAR TO THAT OF TOO.

YOU KNOW, TINA ACTUALLY IN TERMS OF IT, LET'S MOVE AWAY FROM DNC PREPARATIONS IN TERMS OF SECURITY AT THAT.

THE GOVERNOR DID A LITTLE PREP TODAY HAVING A BEER TO EXPLAIN.

YEAH, YEAH.

THE DEBUT 2 BEERS CALLED J WHICH ARE THOSE OF A FEARS.

JJ'S.

JB CAPITAL CORN DOG, TOO, RIGHT?

THESE CHICAGO CRAFT BREW CHICAGO AREA.

THEY WERE TO SUBURBAN BREWERIES AND THEY'VE MADE 2 DIFFERENT BEERS FOR THE DNC, BUT IT IS FOR HIS EVENTS.

SO IT'S NOT REALLY SUPER ACCESSIBLE TO THE PUBLIC.

I DON'T CENTENNIAL TO FARM RIVER NORTH HAS A CAKE.

IF YOU WANT TO TRY I CRIED LIKE A LITTLE BIT OF BOTH BECAUSE I WAS ON DUTY, BUT IT WAS GOOD AND EASY AND SPEECH RIGHTS.

AND THE THING ABOUT THAT EVENT WAS HE WAS WALKING AROUND WITH 2 BEERS AND I'VE NEVER SEEN THAT BEFORE.

I NEVER HIM HOLDING AN ARTICLE KNOW LIKE A PLASTIC MAJOR TO KNOW THAT IN MY WITH I ASK ABOUT HIS SPEECH.

IF IT IF HE'S WRITTEN, HE'S PREPARED AND HE DIDN'T SAY TOO I DID ASK IF HE'S EXCITED TO ME ANY LIKE UP AND COMING.

DEMOCRATS KIND OF TO BE A VERY GENERAL.

BUT I THINK THIS IS LIKE THE KICKOFF TO HIM BEING THE HOST, WHICH HE LOVES.

HE'S LIKE THE PARTY HOST GUY HARD FOR THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION CHICAGO AND FOR PIEPER PEOPLE ACTUALLY GETTING OUT OF THE PERIMETER TO GO TO CHICAGO SOME THAT WE'LL ALL BE KEEPING OUR EYE ON WHAT IT DOES FOR THE LOCAL ECONOMY, BUSINESSES, RESTAURANTS, AND OF COURSE, THE SECURITY BECAUSE THEY'RE FRONT AND CENTER WITH TUESDAY, MARKING A MONTH SINCE SONYA MASSEY WAS KILLED IN SPRINGFIELD BY A LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER WHO HAD RESPONDED TO HER CALL SUSPECTING INTRUDER.

AND JUST THIS AFTERNOON THAT DEPUTIES BOSS COUNTY SHERIFF JACK KIMBALL SAYS THAT HE IS GOING TO RETIRE BY MONTH'S END.

ALEX, WHAT CAN YOU TELL US?

YEAH, I MEAN, WE HAD JUST HEARD THAT FROM THIS WAS I THINK THE LATEST ON THE 2 TODAY THAT HE'S BEEN FACING A LOT OF PUBLIC PRESSURE, INCLUDING FROM THE GOVERNOR, AS WE JUST HEARD YET.

IT'S HIS RESPONSIBILITY TO KEEP THE COMMUNITY SAFE THAT HE'S BEEN ADVOCATING THAT RESPONSIBILITY.

HE SAID THAT HE HAS HE'S HAD TO RETIRE AS OPPOSED TO RESIGN WAS WHAT WORDS I DON'T.

YOU KNOW, TEEN WAS JUST TELLING US ABOUT THAT.

THE LANGUAGE OF THE PRESS RELEASE THAT THIS ANNOUNCING HIS HE WAS KIND OF MAKING ABOUT HIMSELF WHERE SAID HE FELT THAT HE WAS LIKE KIND OF TAKING UP TOO MUCH ATTENTION AND TIME WITHIN THE COMMUNITY AND BEING A DISTRACTION.

AND HE DID SAY HE BELIEVED THAT HE DID THE RIGHT THING, THAT THE BAD PERSON IS GONE AND THAT HE'S TAKING THE HIT FOR IT.

A LOT OF PEOPLE DO NOT AGREE WITH SO IT WAS KIND OF LIKE VICTIM, ME KIND OF STATEMENT.

SO TO THAT END, BUT ACTUALLY HERE BECAUSE IT IS NOTED THIS CAME AFTER MOUNTING PRESSURE FROM THE MASSEY FAMILY IS WELL, AS FROM THE GOVERNOR HEARS PRESSERS EXPLANATION.

HE HAS FAILED TO EXPLAIN.

HOW HE ENDED UP HIRING THIS DEPUTY SHERIFF WHO HAS BEEN FIRED FROM OTHER DEPARTMENTS.

HE FAILED TO.

PUT FORWARD REFORMS.

CLEARLY NEED TO BE MADE.

TRAINING AND OTHER REFORMS.

I STILL HAS FAILED TO MEET WITH THE MASSEY FAMILY.

THAT SEEMS TO ME I'M NOT SAYING THAT'S A FIREABLE OFFENSE TO NOT MEET WITH BUT THAT JUST SEEMS.

OUTRAGEOUS TO ME.

KNOW, TINA, BACK TO YOU.

THE SHERIFF SAYS THAT HE HAD TRIED TO MEET WITH MASSEY'S RELATIVES, BUT THEY REBUFFED HIS ADVANCES TO AN INTERMEDIARY TO DO SO.

AND HE ALSO SAYS HE FOLLOWED STATE PROTOCOL FOR HIRING.

SO JUST ILLINOIS NEED TO TAKE ACTION FIX SOME INSTITUTIONAL FAILURES.

HERE HIS FAMILY DEATH OR I'M SORRY, SONYA MASSEY'S FAMILY DEFINITELY WANTS TO SEE SOME CHANGES.

IT SEEMS PRETTY BROAD AT THIS POINT.

BUT SOME OF THE THINGS INCLUDE THE FACT THAT THAT OFFICER WAS ABLE TO SWITCH POLICE DEPARTMENT SO EASILY.

I'M JUST KIND OF UNDERSTANDING WHY PEOPLE ARE DOING THAT AND TAKING A CLOSER LOOK AT ANY SORT OF DISCIPLINARY ACTIONS, MAKING SURE THAT WHATEVER WAS THAT HE WAS DOING IS DOCUMENTED.

AND THERE'S ALSO PROVISIONS IN THE SAFETY ACT TO TO TRY TO PREVENT THIS TYPE OF THING FROM HAPPENING.

SO THERE COULD TAPPED IN PLACE AND IT DIDN'T HAPPEN.

SO THEY NEED TO TAKE A LOOK AT THOSE LOOPHOLES.

I MEAN, IT'S ENDEMIC ISSUE THAT WE'VE SEEN IN THE STATE OF ILLINOIS.

THIS KIND OF HOPSCOTCHING POLICE OFFICER GETS FIRED FOR SOME KIND OF UNPROFESSIONAL OR UNCONSTITUTIONAL CONDUCT IN ONE PLACE AND THEY CAN JUST GET HIRED ANOTHER PLACE.

THIS IS A YOU KNOW, I WANT TO CHECK MY COLLEAGUE CASEY TONER.

ANSWERS PROJECT THE JAYSON.

A LOT OF REPORTING ON THIS, PARTICULARLY THE VILLAGE OF ROBBINS HAS JUST IN THE SOUTH SUBURBS HAS BECOME LIKE A MAGNET FOR POLICE OFFICERS WHO FIRED FROM OTHER JURISDICTIONS.

AND THIS IS A BYPRODUCT OF THE FACT THAT, YOU KNOW, THE STATE OF THERE'S NO STATE LICENSING OF POLICE.

THIS IS ALL DONE BY MUNICIPALITY BY MUNICIPALITY.

A LOT OF THEM REALLY, YOU KNOW, TRYING TO HI OR ANYWHERE THAT THEY CAN FACING STAFFING CRISES.

AND, YOU KNOW, LIKELY MASSIVE FAMILY HEARD HAS BEEN TRYING TO APPEAL TO STATE LEGISLATORS.

WE NEED TO CLOSE LOOPHOLES.

WE NEEDED TO FIX THIS AND SO FAR CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG FROM STATE LEGISLATORS, THERE'S NOT THAT MUCH APPETITE TO CERTAINLY, YOU KNOW, REOPEN THE SEEM AS IF THERE'S ANY ADVANCEMENT THERE.

NOW, ALEX, I WANT TO TO YOU BECAUSE WE'VE GOT ABOUT 4 MINUTES LEFT IN WE ALONG WITH THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE REPORT OF A DEEP DIVE THAT LOOKED INTO THE COOK COUNTY ASSESSOR'S OFFICE AND FOUND THAT HUNDREDS OF PROPERTIES WERE MISCLASSIFIED.

YOU KNOW, THAT'S A QUESTION WE'VE BEEN ASKING OVER THE COURSE OF THE PAST 9 MONTHS THAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON THIS INVESTIGATION.

AND, FRANK, WE NEVER REALLY GOT AN ADEQUATE ANSWER TO WHY.

EXACTLY.

BUT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT YOU NEVER REALLY THINK ABOUT, BUT IS A REALLY CRITICAL ASPECT OF MAKING SURE THAT ALL OF OUR HOMES AND BUSINESSES AND PROPERTIES ARE TAX FAIRLY, WHICH IS THAT THE ASSESSOR KNOWS WHAT THE BUILDING IS.

BASICALLY WHAT WE FOUND IS THAT THROUGH A LOT OF DIFFERENT OVER SAY IT'S BOTH IN DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE COUNTY GOVERNMENT, THROUGH MUNICIPALITIES WITH THE SUPPOSED TO SEND TO THE U.S. HAS A HUSBAND.

ULTIMATELY, THE ASSESSOR HAS JUST MISSED LOTS AND LOTS AND LOTS OF NEW CONSTRUCTION OVER THE LAST 5 AT LEAST IN THIS HAS BEEN AN ENDEMIC PROBLEM GOING BACK BEFORE FOR ITS CAGE.

HE WAS ELECTED, BUT IT CERTAINLY HAS NOT GOTTEN GOTTEN BETTER SINCE HE'S BEEN THERE.

IF ANYTHING, WE'VE SEEN THAT THE PROBLEM HAS CONTINUE TO SPIRAL AND WE FOUND THAT THE CONSEQUENCE WAS JUST FROM THIS SORT OF PARTIAL AUDIT THAT WE WERE ABLE TO DO.

WE FOUND 620 PROPERTIES THAT ARE BEING TAXED AS IF NOTHING HAD BEEN BUILT THERE.

SO WE FOUND LOTS AND LOTS OF REALLY BIG NEW LAVISH HOMES THAT ARE BEING TAXED AS THOUGH THEY'RE WORTH $50,000 AND THOUGH THEY'RE VACANT.

LOTS WHEN THEY'RE WORTH SOMETHING, PROBABLY LIKE A MILLION DOLLARS OR WHO KNOWS WHAT THEY'RE WORTH.

AND THAT MEANS, OF COURSE, THAT OTHER TAXPAYERS ARE LEFT REALLY CARRYING THE BAG.

THEY'RE GOING TO BE PAYING MORE.

THAT'S ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.

I MEAN, THAT'S ONE OF THE PROBLEMS HERE IS THAT WHEN ANYONE IS UNDER ASSESSED UNFAIRLY, IT MEANS THAT EVERYONE ELSE IS UNFAIRLY GOING TO PAY A LITTLE BIT MORE.

THE OTHER PROBLEM IS THAT DO THOSE FOLKS WHO WHEN UNDER ASSESSED AND THE ASSESSOR REALIZE THE MISTAKE, THEY CAN NOT ONLY GET A REALLY SHARP ABRUPT JUMP IN THE TEXAS, BUT THEY COULD BE BACK TAX.

AND SO WE TALKED TO A LOT OF FOLKS WHO HAD BEEN LIVING IN A HOME DIDN'T REALIZE THAT THEY HAVE BEEN PAYING TAXES AS IF THEY WERE ON A VACANT LOT.

AND THEN SUDDENLY THEY'RE LANDED WITH A PROPERTY TAX BILL WITH 3 YEARS WORTH OF PROPERTY TAXES WHOLE BY IT OUT OF LOOP.

THAT'S RIGHT.

LET'S SWITCH GEARS NOW TO TALK TRANSPORTATION.

SO MAC, AFTER YEARS OF DELAYS YEARS, I THINK 7 I KNEW GREEN LINE STATION OPENED IT.

DAMON AND LAKE WAS THIS PROJECT SO DELAYED HAS A GREAT QUESTION.

THEY BLAME THE PANDEMIC RED TAPE WITH SUPPLY CHAIN ISSUES TROUBLE.

FINDING A I THINK YOU CAN NOT ASK PEOPLE DIFFERENT THINGS AND HAVE A DIFFERENT ANSWER FOR YOU ABOUT WHY THIS WAS DELAYED.

I THINK EVERYONE KIND OF KNEW THE DEADLINE THAT WAS APPROACHING FOR THE STOP.

AND THAT WAS THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION.

IT'S BUILT RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER FROM THE UNITED CENTER.

SO AFTER YEARS AND YEARS OF STRUGGLING TO GET THIS PROJECT AFTER ACROSS THE FINISH LINE AT 2 SEPARATE GROUND BREAKINGS WAS FIRST PROMISED TO BE COMPLETED IN 2020 YOU SEVERAL WEEKS BEFORE THE CONVENTIONS.

NOW IT'S ONLY FINISHED SO I THINK A LOT OF THE FESTIVE DELEGATES AROUND TO THE CONVENTION AND PRESSING PEOPLE SHOWING A VERSION OF CHICAGO FOR ONE THE SAME.

CURRENTLY WE'VE GOT ABOUT A MINUTE LEFT WITH THIS NEW STATION.

IT HOW IT WAS GOING TO IMPACT RESIDENTS, PARTICULARLY IN THE SOUTH AND WEST SIDES.

YEAH, FOR SURE IS DEFINITELY HAVE A LONG-TERM IMPACT.

AND I THINK THAT'S A POSITIVE ABOUT BUT IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE LIKE MAKE A TO BE A PROMISE TO SO LONG AGO AND SEE IT HAPPENED AROUND.

THE NEW CD IS KIND OF LIKE HEARTBREAKING, BUT I'M GLAD THAT THEY HAD IN LEAD TO LONG-TERM IMPACT FOR THEM TO GET BETTER ACCESS TO JOBS AND WHERE WE NEED TO BE NEXT COMES, BELIEVE, IS ACTUALLY WBZ IN THE SUN TIMES.

ALSO REPORTING ABOUT A LONG DELAY IN GETTING ELEVATORS ACCESSIBILITY TO CTA STATIONS GOING TO BE ABOUT A DECADE FOR THAT TO HAPPEN.

LONGER THAN 7 YEARS, WE ARE OUT OF TIME.

SO OUR THANKS TO ALEX AND IT TINA SMITH, ELLIS CORLEY, J AND NECK LEDERMAN.

HE WILL GET BACK TO WRAP THINGS UP RIGHT AFTER THIS.

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

THE POPE BROTHERS FOUNDATION, ADDITIONAL SUPPORT IS PROVIDED BY.

SO THE WHITE SOX FINALLY SNAPPED A 21 GAME LOSING STREAK, BUT THEN FIRED THEIR MANAGER WINE.

I MEAN, WHY NOT WAY BEFORE?

I THINK IT'S THE BETTER QUESTION LITERALLY.

THEY WERE ASKING THE FIRE, THE MANAGER OF THE TEAM SINCE HE WAS HIRED EXACTLY 2 YEARS AGO.

SO ON THE TEAM IS UTTERLY DIRECTION AND I REALLY KNOW WHERE THEY'RE GOING TO GO FROM HERE.

AND I'M AMANDA THANKS FOR WATCHING.

STAY HEALTHY AND SAFE HAVE A GREAT NIGHT.

ARE SHIPPED.

APPRECIATE EVERYBODY GOING SO SPEAKING SPORTS, THE HOUSE, ILLINOIS, DON, GREAT RYAN HELD TIME THAT THEY SPRINGFIELD SWIMMER, YOU HAVE A LONG JUMP PERSON OR WHATEVER, DEANNA IT AND FRIENDSHIP US.

THEY MIGHT BE PUTTING UP GRADUATE SIU, KNOW, DID NOT MEDAL, BUT WAS CLOSE TO THEIR LITTLE LOCAL CHICAGO FINISHED SECOND IN SOUTH.

CLOSED CAPTIONING IS MADE POSSIBLE BY ROBERT A CLIFF AND CLIFFORD CHICAGO PERSONAL INJURY AND WRONGFUL DEATH THAT IS PROUD TO RECOGNIZE ITS FOUNDER AND SENIOR PARTNER ROBERT CLIFF.

RANKED NUMBER ONE IN THE STATE OF ILLINOIS BY SUPER LAWYERS
