>> WELCOME TO THE WEEK IN REVIEW .

I AM PARIS SCHUTZ.

FOUR DAYS INTO NEW CONGRESS AND NO SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE.

CALIFORNIA REPUBLICAN KEVIN McCARTHY LOST HIS 13th VOTE EARLIER TODAY BUT MEMBERS ARE SCHEDULED TO COME BACK AT 10:00 P.M. EASTERN FOR ANOTHER GO AT IT.

HE GOT A DOZEN PREVIOUS NO VOTES.

McCARTHY HAS EXPRESSED CONFIDENCE THAT THE VOTE TONIGHT MAYBE THE CLINCHER.

MORE IN A BIT.

>>> THE ILLINOIS HOUSE EARLY THIS MORNING PAST THIS DATE WHITE ASSAULT WEAPONS BAN, THEY WENT INTO THIS MORNING WITH THE GOVERNOR WATCHING IN HIS CHAMBER.

THE MANUFACTURE , SALE, AND PURCHASE OF CERTAIN SEMI AUTOMATIC RIFLES IN ILLINOIS AND BAD LARGE CAPACITY MAGAZINES WITH 12 OR MORE ROUNDS OF AMMUNITION, IT WAS SPURRED ON BY THE JULY 4th HIGHLAND PARK NOW SHOOTING.

BOB MORGAN DESCRIBED HIS EXPERIENCE BEING AT THE PARADE THAT DAY.

>> MY WIFE AND TWO CHILDREN WERE RIGHT BEHIND ME, MY STAFFORD WAS IN FRONT OF ME, YELLED , GUNSHOTS , GUNSHOTS.

AND I REACHED BACK TO MAKE SURE MY CHILDREN WERE SAFE.

WHEN I GOT TO THE SCENE , I SAW THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN SHOT.

THEY WERE CARRIED AWAY.

A TWO-YEAR-OLD WAS COVERED IN BLOOD BECAUSE BOTH OF HER PARENTS WERE SHOT.

THIS IS NOT A UNIQUE SITUATION.

>> THE HOUSE PASSED A BILL EXPANDING ABORTION PROTECTION IN ILLINOIS.

WE WILL HAVE MORE ON THIS AS WELL .

>>> LOCAL AND NATIONAL POLITICAL LEADERS MARKED THE SECOND ANNIVERSARY OF THE JANUARY 6 INSURRECTION AT THE U.S. CAPITOL, THE GROUP OF U.S. HOUSE MEMBERS STOOD ON THE STEPS WITH FAMILIES OF POLICE OFFICERS WHO TRY TO STAY OFF THE RIOT.

THEY HAD THE GOAL OF KEEPING DONALD TRUMP IN POWER.

PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN HONORED THE OFFICERS IN DEFENSE OF THE CAPITOL.

>> THEY HELD THE LINE THAT DAY.

WHAT WAS ON THE LINE WAS OUR DEMOCRACY.

AND HISTORY WILL REMEMBER YOUR NAMES.

>> CHICAGOANS ARE IN LINE FOR A POTENTIAL SIGNIFICANT SPIKE IN THEIR GAS BILLS.

PEOPLE'S GAS IS ASKING THE COMMERCE COMMISSION TO APPROVE A $402 MILLION RATE HIKE.

IT WOULD EQUAL OUT TO AN AVERAGE OF JUST UNDER $12 PER MONTH FOR CUSTOMERS , THEY SAY THE RATE HIKE MAY BE OFFSET BY A POTENTIAL DROP IN NATURAL GAS COSTS.

THE INTEREST GROUP BLAMES THIS ON PEOPLE'S MAIN REPLACEMENT PROGRAM WHICH THE GROUP SAYS IS OUT OF CONTROL.

>>> ON TO OUR PANEL JOINING US OUR ERIC, HEATHER CHERONE , CLARENCE PAGE OF THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE , AND KEVIN FISHBAIN OF THE ATHLETIC.

LET'S SET OUR AGENDA FOR THE EVENING.

WILL THE 14th TIME BE THE CHARM FOR KEVIN McCARTHY?

AND THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION ANNOUNCED A NEW BORDER POLICY.

HERE IS THE ATTENTION SEEKING FOR THE CONGRESSMAN MATT GAETZ ON HIS VOTE AGAINST KEVIN McCARTHY.

>> SEVERAL BELIEVE THAT ONE EARNS THE POSITION OF SPEAKER BY RAISING A LOT OF MONEY.

THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT THE INDIVIDUAL WHO IS NOMINATED BY MR. GARCIA IS THE LeBRON JAMES OF SPECIAL INTEREST IN THIS TOWN .

NOBODY BETTER .

I WOULD SUGGEST THAT THERE ARE QUALIFICATIONS FOR SPEAKER FAR MORE IMPORTANT , ATTRIBUTES THAT ARE FAR MORE IMPORTANT.

>> HE ENJOYS THE MEDIA ATTENTION COME AND NO DOUBT.

CLARENCE PAGE , IS THE 14th TIME THE CHARM FOR THE GENTLEMAN FROM CALIFORNIA?

>> WE WILL KNOW BEFORE THE NIGHT IS OVER.

HE HAS ASSURED US HE HAS ENOUGH VOTES TO PUT HIMSELF OVER THE TOP THIS EVENING.

IT HAS BEEN AMAZING.

THE FIRST TIME SINCE 1923 THAT THE VOTE FOR SPEAKER HAS GONE TO 14.

HE WAS ABLE TO TALK FOUR OR FIVE MORE PEOPLE ACROSS THE LINE YESTERDAY.

WE WILL SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

I HATE THAT PHRASE, WE WILL SEE WHAT HAPPENS, PRESIDENT TRUMP USED TO SAY THAT ALL THE TIME.

>> THAT WAS A COPOUT WHEN HE SAID IT .

ONE THAT SWITCHED OVER FROM THE FREEDOM CAUCUS WAS MARY MILLER FROM ILLINOIS.

WHAT HAS BEEN NEGOTIATED TO GET THEM ON BOARD ?

>> THERE SEEMS TO BE TWO MAJOR STICKING POINTS, ONE , THE ABILITY OF ANY MEMBER OF CONGRESS TO MAKE A MOTION TO REMOVE THE HOUSE SPEAKER.

TYPICALLY, THAT TAKES FIVE MEMBERS TO GET TOGETHER BUT THE NEW RULES UNDER NEGOTIATION WOULD LIMIT THAT TO ONE, WHICH WOULD MAKE KEVIN McCARTHY IN A VERY TENUOUS POSITION AND BEHOLDEN TO EVERYBODY TO MAKE SURE HE KEEPS HIS POSITION.

THE OTHER IS SPENDING , THEY ARE ALL VERY CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICANS WHO CAMPAIGNED ON LIMITING GOVERNMENT SPENDING.

IT SEEMS TO BE THE STICKING POINT , NOT ONLY THE UPCOMING VOTE ON EXTENDING THE DEBT CEILING , BUT ALSO WHETHER OR NOT MILITARY SPENDING WILL INCREASE .

IT SEEMS AS IF THE AGREEMENT WOULD LIMIT MILITARY SPENDING IN THE NEXT YEAR , WHETHER THAT WOULD BE APPROVED AS PART OF THE SECOND VOTE , WITH THE PACKAGE OF RULES THAT WILL GOVERN THE HOUSE FOR THE NEXT TWO YEARS.

>> THIS MAY BE A GARGANTUAN GAME OF CHICKEN.

KEVIN FISHBAIN , WHO HAS HAD IT WORSE, THE BEARS ON AN EIGHT GAME LOSING STREAK, OR KEVIN McCARTHY?

>> I HAVE SEEN DYSFUNCTION COVERING THE BEARS FOR A DECADE.

WITHIN THE RANKS.

FOR THE GOP TO TAKE THIS LONG, SOMEBODY SAID, THE BETTER CHANCE OF THEM FINDING THE RIGHT SPEAKER OR THE BEARS FINDING THE RIGHT QUARTERBACK.

>> MY HOPE IS THE BEARS ARE READY HAVE FOUND THAT QUARTERBACK.

WHAT ABOUT THE NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS?

WHAT WILL VOTES BE LIKE ON THE DEBT CEILING, MILITARY SPENDING, THE BUDGET ?

>> I LIKE THIS , WE WILL WAIT AND SEE.

THIS HAS BEEN INTERESTING FOR THE BUS -- I LOVE SPEECH THEM -- I LOVE C-SPAN, INTERESTING TO SEE WHAT MY FRIENDS HAVE SAID ?

>> MAINSTREAM AMERICA IS INTERESTED IN THIS, NOT JUST POLITICAL PEOPLE.

>> I THINK SO AND I THINK MORE PEOPLE WILL BE WATCHING.

IT WILL BE CONTENTIOUS.

>> CLARENCE PAGE , WHAT YOU EXPECT OVER THE NEXT TWO YEARS ASSUMING KEVIN McCARTHY HAS THE VOTES?

>> FOR ONE THING, THE ABILITY TO MAKE THE SPEAKER DEFEND HIS OR HER JOB , IF ONLY ONE MEMBER OF CONGRESS ONCE TO MAKE THAT MOVE, NANCY PELOSI GOT RID OF THAT.

YOU NEED FIVE MEMBERS TO INITIATE A MOTION.

OTHERWISE , ANYTIME SOMEBODY IS MAD AT YOU, THEY CAN CALL FOR YOUR REMOVAL.

THAT IS WHAT KEVIN McCARTHY IS BACKING HIMSELF INTO BY MAKING ALL OF THESE CONCESSIONS.

IT IS ABOUT SPENDING.

OTHER THAN THAT, INSIDER BASEBALL IS IT.

MOST FOLKS DON'T FOLLOW CONGRESS THAT CLOSELY.

REPUBLICANS WANT TO REDUCE SPENDING AS MUCH AS THEY CAN.

THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT MEDICARE, SOCIAL SECURITY, MEDICAID , PROGRAMS THAT ARE VERY POPULAR.

THEY DON'T GO AROUND BRAGGING ABOUT IT.

THAT IS A CONTENTIOUS POLITICAL ISSUE.

>> EVERYBODY LIKES TO SAY CUT SPENDING, BUT WHAT DO YOU WANT TO CUT, ESPECIALLY MEDICARE AND SOCIAL SECURITY, NOT AS GOOD.

HEATHER CHERONE, THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION ANNOUNCED A NEW BORDER POLICY , ADMITTING EIGHT QUOTE OF 30,000 MIGRANTS PER MONTH , CRACKING DOWN ON ILLEGAL CROSSINGS.

WHAT IS THE IMPACT ON THE BORDER ?

>> IT WILL HAVE A PROFOUND IMPACT ON THE CUBAN PEOPLE , PEOPLE FROM VENEZUELA, HAITI , MANY HAVE BEEN LEAVING INSTABILITY AND ECONOMIC CATASTROPHE IN THEIR HOME COUNTRIES AND ATTEMPTING TO CROSS THE BORDER AND CLAIM ASYLUM.

THEY WILL BE PROHIBITED FROM DOING SO UNLESS THEY ARE AT AN INITIAL PORT OF ENTRY.

THIS IS DESIGNED TO REDUCE THE NUMBER OF ILLEGAL BORDER CROSSINGS WHICH IS A MASSIVE PROBLEM FOR THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION.

THOSE ADDITIONAL REFUGEES , LEGAL IMMIGRATION PROCESSES , THEY HAVE OFFSET THOSE RESTRICTIONS WHICH WERE DEEPLY UNPOPULAR WITH IMMIGRANTS RIGHTS GROUPS AND FACED A HUGE BACKLASH FROM EVEN MEMBERS OF THE PRESIDENT'S OWN PARTY, BOB MENENDEZ , NOTHING MORE THAN WHAT DONALD TRUMP DID.

A WORST OF BOTH WORLDS FOR THE PRESIDENT WHO DOES NOT HAVE MANY GOOD OPTIONS.

>> REPUBLICANS WILL TALK ABOUT THE BORDER MATTER WHAT HAPPENS.

CLARENCE PAGE , JANUARY 6 , WHAT ARE YOUR RECOLLECTIONS ?

YOU EXPERIENCED IT FIRSTHAND.

>> I WOULD BE DELIGHTED TO TALK TO YOU OVER YOUR FAVORITE BEVERAGE.

IT WAS TRULY SHOCKING.

I WAS IN MY CAR ON MY WAY TO THE CAPITOL, MORE PEOPLE THAT I WOULD HAVE IMAGINED.

OVERFLOWING ON CAPITOL HILL.

I PERSONALLY FELT ANGER.

I WAS ANGRY.

THERE WAS NO IN THE GAME.

THEY WERE THERE BECAUSE THE PRESIDENT WANTED THEM TO BE THERE.

IT WAS A SHOCKING AND PIVOTAL MOMENT.

OTHERS CAN GIVE YOU GRAPHIC DESCRIPTIONS OF THE FEAR AND MAYHEM.

THAT IS WHAT ANGERS MANY FOLKS, WHEN THEY HEAR SOME REPUBLICANS , MEMBERS OF CONGRESS , SAYING IT WAS JUST A NORMAL TOUR GROUP.

THEY TRIED TO BLAME ANTIFA.

THE FBI SAYS THERE ARE NO SIGNS OF THAT.

IT PUT DEMOCRACY TO THE TEST.

>> STILL A TEST THAT DEMOCRACY FACES .

LET'S MOVE ON TO STATE AND LOCAL POLITICS.

HOUSE MEMBERS PAST AND ASSAULT WEAPONS BAN IN THE EARLY HOURS THIS MORNING, CASHLESS BAIL IS ON HOLD PENDING THE SUPREME COURT.

WOODLAWN RESIDENTS HAVE MIGRANTS IN A LOCAL SCHOOL.

LET'S STAY ON THAT, WE ASKED MAYOR LIGHTFOOT ABOUT HOUSING THE MIGRANTS.

>> IF WE ARE TRULY A WELCOMING CITY AND WE SAY WE ARE PROUD OF OUR IMMIGRATION POLICY, WE NEED TO STEP UP , THIS HAS GOT TO BE ONE OF THOSE ALL HANDS ON DECK MOMENTS.

WE HAVE TO DO THIS IN CONCERT WITH THE COMMUNITY, ANSWER QUESTIONS AND CONCERNS , BUT WE HAVE TO FIND A WAY TO WORK TOGETHER.

>> REMIND US WHY THIS IS SO CONTENTIOUS .

>> IT IS CONTENTIOUS BECAUSE PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY FEEL THEY DID NOT HAVE A SAY IN WHAT WOULD HAPPEN.

THE MIGRANTS THAT WERE BEING HOUSED , THEY SAID , YOU KNOW, THEY SPEAK SPANISH , THEY SHOULD BE IN A COMMUNITY THAT SPEAK SPANISH.

INTERESTING TO SEE HOW IT IS PLAYING OUT .

CHICAGO IS A WELCOMING CITY BUT WHERE ARE WE BEING TAKEN ?

>> HOW DO YOU THINK THIS GETS RESOLVED, HEATHER CHERONE ?

>> THE MAYOR'S OFFICE SAID THEY PLAN TO OPEN THE SHELTER TO THE IMMIGRANTS TODAY, THAT DID NOT HAPPEN TODAY, WILL NOT HAPPEN UNTIL THURSDAY WHEN THE MAYOR CONVENES A MEETING WITH THE OFFICE OF ALDERMAN TAYLOR.

AN OVERLOOKED PART OF THIS ISSUE IS THIS WHAT SHUDDERED IN 2013, THAT HAS REMAINED OPEN IN WOODLAWN .

MANY PEOPLE SEE THAT AS AN EXAMPLE OF AN INVESTMENT IN THE DISINTEREST IN INVESTING IN WOODLAWN .

FOR A COMMUNITY TO SEND $1.5 MILLION , REFURBISHING A SCHOOL MAKE IT FOR NEARLY A DECADE, I THINK THAT RUBBED A LOT OF RESIDENTS THE WRONG WAY, BECAUSE THEY DID NOT HAVE ANY SAY IN THE SELECTION OF THE SCHOOL AND IT IS AN ELECTION YEAR, WHICH MEANS IT IS AN ELECTION ISSUE.

>> JEANETTE TAYLOR HAS BEEN OUTSPOKEN ABOUT THE PLAN.

THE MAYOR SAID SHE NEEDS THE MONEY FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO SUPPORT THE MIGRANTS COMING HERE, HOW MUCH DOES SHE NEED AN ISSUE LIKELY TO GET ANY?

>> I DON'T KNOW.

I AM INTERESTED TO SEE IF ANYTHING HAPPENS DURING THE LAME-DUCK SESSION.

I DON'T KNOW.

>> IT DOES NOT APPEAR ANY IS COMING.

SHE SAID THE CITY IS AT ITS LIMIT IN TERMS OF HOW MANY MIGRANTS -- THESE ARE ASYLUM-SEEKERS AND THEY HAVE BUSSEDBEEN BY GOVERNORS ON THE BORDER, LIKE GOVERNOR ABBOTT.

THE ASSAULT WEAPONS BAN THIS MORNING, KEVIN FISHBAIN , YOU WERE AT HIGHLAND PARK , THE JULY 4th PARADE , THAT HAS SPURRED THIS SITUATION , DOES THAT HAVE A LASTING IMPACT ON YOU?

>> YES , UNFORTUNATELY , SOMETHING I THINK ABOUT EVERY DAY.

I WAS WITH MY TWO-YEAR-OLD SON AND MY FATHER AND MY SISTER.

I WILL NEVER FORGET THE POP, POP, POP , WE HID IN A PARKING GARAGE.

I AM GRATEFUL I AM ABLE TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT IT.

IT WAS A SCARY DAY.

THE WHOLE COMMUNITY FOREVER WILL BE AFFECTED.

WHAT HAPPENED IN SPRINGFIELD DOES NOT BRING ANYBODY BACK OR TAKE AWAY WHAT HAPPENED, BUT IT IS ONE STEP CLOSER TO PREVENTING ANOTHER INSTANCE OF HAPPENING AGAIN IN THE STATE.

>> IT IS A BAN ON CERTAIN ASSAULT RIFLES BUT HAD TO BE NEGOTIATED.

>> ORIGINALLY , THE PACKAGE WOULD HAVE BANNED THE ASSAULT WEAPONS TO ANYBODY NOT 21.

THAT CAME OUT OF THE FINAL VERSION.

NOW, THE LIMIT IS BACK AT 18.

THE OTHER ISSUE, WOULD ILLINOIS STOP MANUFACTURING ASSAULT WEAPONS?

IT HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM WHAT PAST THE HOUSE EARLY THIS MORNING.

THE DEVIL IS IN THE DETAILS.

THIS WILL BE A SUBJECT OF GREAT DEBATE OVER THE NEXT 24, 48 HOURS.

>> NOT A SENSE TO PASS THE SENATE ?

>> YOU KNOW HOW LEGISLATION MOVES, BUT THERE IS A DEADLINE AND A CONSENSUS THAT THE BAN SHOULD BE PASSED AND THE GOVERNOR SAID HE WANTS TO SIGN IT.

I THINK IT IS A BIG PARTY FOR THE GOVERNOR.

WHETHER THE LAW WILL STAND WHAT WILL BE A COURT CHALLENGE IS TRULY THE FUNDAMENTAL QUESTION.

>> CLARENCE PAGE , IT DOES NOT SEEM LIKE A BAN ON ASSAULT WEAPONS WILL GO ANYWHERE NATIONALLY, SO A STATEWIDE BAN, DOES THAT MAKE AN IMPACT ON THE PROBLEM IN THE COUNTRY?

>> WE HAVE INDIANA NEXT-DOOR , OTHER STATES WHERE IT IS MUCH EASIER TO GET A GUN , MUCH LESS REGULATIONS.

AND NATIONAL BAN IS NOT IN THE OFFING.

THE SUPREME COURT , THE LAST GUMLOG THE CITY HAD, NOT SOMETHING WE WILL SEE VERY SOON.

A LOT OF PEOPLE THOUGHT AFTER THE MASSACRE , SOMETHING WILL HAPPEN HE DOES NOT GET ANYTHING PAST, EVEN AFTER SANDY HOOK, IT IS AN UPHILL CLIMB , I DON'T BLAME THEM FOR KEEPING THE PRESSURE ON.

>> KEVIN FISHBAIN , YOU ALLUDED TO THIS, IS THERE SOME COMFORT AMONG HIGHLAND PARK FAMILIES THAT SOMETHING IS BEING DONE IN RESPONSE ?

>> YES , THERE WAS A LOT OF ACTIVISM.

THE MARCH GROUP , THEY HAVE BEEN IN SPRINGFIELD , WASHINGTON, D.C. , IT STARTED TWO DAYS AFTER THE SHOOTING.

FOR PEOPLE TO BE ABLE TO SEE IT , THEY DON'T WANT IT TO BE SPURRED FROM SOMETHING LIKE THAT, THAT TRAGEDY, AFTER THE JULY 4th TRAGEDY , THERE WERE STILL PLENTY OF SHOOTINGS IN CHICAGO THAT WEEKEND.

I THINK THE COMMUNITY WILL BE HEARTENED BY SEEING THIS, EVEN IF IT IS NOT A CURE ALL.

>> LET'S MOVE ON TO THE SAFE-T ACT, THE STOPPING OF CASHLESS BAIL COME OF THIS REPORT BUT AN INJUNCTION ON IT -- THE SUPREME COURT PUT AN INJUNCTION ON IT.

>> I DO NOT KNOW HOW THIS WILL PLAY OUT, WE ARE IN A HOLDING PATTERN.

I AM INTERESTED TO SEE HOW LONG IT TAKES.

EVEN WHEN A DECISION IS MADE, WHAT COMES NEXT , WHEN WE FINALLY MAKE THE CHANGE , WE ARE THE FIRST STATE TO ELIMINATE A CASH BAIL.

>> NEW JERSEY HAS GONE PART OF THE WAY.

THERE HAS BEEN ORAL ARGUMENTS , THERE WILL BE SOME IN MARCH.

>> THEY WILL CONSIDER IT ON AN EXPEDITED BASIS.

THEY READ THE NEWS, I HOPE THEY WATCHED "CHICAGO TONIGHT."

THEY KNOW HOW BIG THIS IS, AND I AM SURE THEY FEEL THE FIRE AND ARE WATCHING.

>> I THINK THE BEARS ORGANIZATION , AFTER A 3-13 YEAR, THE BEARS END THEIR SEASON WITH JUSTIN FIELDS ON THE BENCH AND THE PRESSURE IS ON THE GENERAL MANAGER TO REBUILD , AND HOPING DAMAR HAMLIN GETS BETTER, HE IS REPORTEDLY AWAKE AND TALKING TO TEAMMATES.

KEVIN FISHBAIN, JUSTIN FIELDS SAID HE IS READY TO GO, ALL OF A SUDDEN , THE COACH SAYS HE HAS A HIP INJURY.

IF THEY WERE IN CONTENTION AND HE WOULD BE PLAYING ?

>> I THINK SO, PARIS.

HE HAD AN MRI ON HIS HIP, DOCTORS SAID IT WAS NOT CLEAR .

WE HAVE SEEN HIM PLAY THROUGH A LOT OF INJURIES.

HE IS A TOUGH GUY.

THIS HAPPENS IN THE NFL A LOT.

WITH THE BEARS HAVING THE OPPORTUNITY TO GET THE NUMBER ONE PICK, IT IS WORTH SCRATCHING YOUR HEAD ABOUT FINISHING THE GAME AGAINST DETROIT, NOT ABLE TO PLAY.

I BELIEVE HE REALLY IS INJURED IF IT WAS THE PLAYOFFS, I WOULD NOT DOUBT JUSTIN FIELDS WOULD BE OUT THERE.

>> THEY COULD GET THE NUMBER ONE PICK, DEBATE AS TO WHETHER THEY SHOULD START OVER AT QUARTERBACK .

WHAT DO THE TEA LEAVES SAY ABOUT WHAT THEY WILL DO ?

ARE THEY SET ON JUSTIN FIELDS NEXT YEAR WITH A BETTER TEAM AROUND HIM?

>> THAT IS THE CHALLENGE, HE HAS NOT GIVEN THAT KIND OF BACKING, WE WILL SEE HOW IT GOES.

EVERY GM ONCE TO DRAFT THEIR OWN QUARTERBACK, HE DID NOT DRAFT JUSTIN FIELDS, EVEN IF HE GOES IN A DIFFERENT DIRECTION, NO GUARANTEE WITH THE QUARTERBACKS.

IF THEY GET THE NUMBER ONE PICK, EVEN NUMBER TWO , SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT AND CONSIDER.

IT WOULD BE HARD TO MOVE ON FROM SOMEBODY WHO HAS SHOWN YOU WHAT HE CAN DO.

IF YOU GET BETTER PEOPLE AROUND HIM, BETTER DEFENSE .

>> ESPECIALLY WHEN THE BEARS HAVE SO MANY NEEDS TO FILL, WHY START OVER AT QUARTERBACK WHEN YOU HAVE ENTIRE LINES TO BUILD?

DO YOU THINK THEY WILL TRADE BACK WITH THE FIRST OR SECOND PICK?

>> I CAN SEE IT, RYAN POLES WANTS TO CREATE A CONSISTENT WINNER.

THEY GO UP AND GO DOWN, 2018 THEY WERE GREAT, THAT IN 2019, THIS HAS HAPPENED WITH THIS FRANCHISE FOR SO LONG AND HE WANTS TO GREAT SOMETHING THAT LAST.

HE NEEDS AS MUCH DRAFT CAPITAL AS POSSIBLE.

IT COULD BRING IN A LOT OF RESOURCES, I COULD SEE WHERE HE TRADES BACK TO ADD TALENT TO THE ROSTER.

>> A LOT OF INTRIGUE.

GREAT NEWS, DAMAR HAMLIN, SEEMS TO BE ALERT AND IS SPEAKING.

HOW DO YOU THINK THE NFL HAS HANDLED THIS?

THE GAME THAT WAS SUSPENDED WILL COUNT AS A NO CONTEST.

HAVE THEY DONE THE RIGHT THING?

>> I THINK THEY HAVE DONE THE BEST THEY CAN IT IS VERY UNPRECEDENTED.

THE PLAN WE SAW TAKE PLACE WITH THE DOCTORS ON THE FIELD , EVERYTHING THEY DID IN GETTING HIM TO THE HOSPITAL, THAT WAS GREAT.

THEY SHOULD BE PROUD OF THE WAY THAT WAS HANDLED.

WHAT THEY HAVE HAD TO FIGURE OUT COMPETITIVELY, THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE .

THERE WAS NO PERFECT SCENARIO.

ONE TEAM IS FRUSTRATED, IT IS THE BENGALS , BUT YOU HAVE TO SHRUG IT OFF AND UNDERSTAND THIS IS SOMETHING THAT NOBODY KNEW HOW TO HANDLE.

>> CIRCUMSTANCES WERE EXTRAORDINARY .

THE EMERGENCY RESPONDERS REALLY HAD AN IMPACT AND PERHAPS SAVED HIS LIFE.

IT COMES DOWN TO THE SECONDS AND MINUTES IN THAT SITUATION.

WE HAVE RUN OUT OF OUR SECONDS AND MINUTES, OUT OF TIME, THANK YOU TO CLARENCE PAGE , KEVIN FISHBAIN , HEATHER CHERONE , AND ERIN.

YOU CAN GET US STREAMED ON FACEBOOK, YOUTUBE, AND OUR WEBSITE, WTTW.COM/NEWS, WE WILL HAVE CHICAGO TONIGHT: LATINO VOICES TOMORROW NIGHT, AND 7:00 ALL NEXT WEEK.

FOR CHICAGO WEEK IN REVIEW , I AM PARIS SCHUTZ , THANK YOU FOR WATCHING, STAY SAFE AND HAVE A WONDERFUL WEEKEND.
