HEY, EVERYONE, THANKS FOR JOINING US ON THE WEEKEND REVIEW.

I'M AMANDA KEEP CHICAGO'S MAYOR APOLOGIZES TO BLACK RESIDENTS.

THE VARIANCE AND 2 SONS AND WHAT WE REPRESENT TODAY HAVE HARMED BLACK PEOPLE.

MAYOR BRANDON JOHNSON GETS THE BALL ROLLING ON REPARATIONS SO THEY STAY IN AMERICA.

WHAT IN THE SHADOWS LIVING IN CONSTANT FEAR OF DEPORTATION WITHOUT ABILITY PRESIDENT BIDEN MOVES TO PROTECT DREAMERS AND LONGTIME UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS MARRIED TO U.S. CITIZENS.

I HAVE TRAVELED ALL AROUND OUR STATE TO HELP OUR FELLOW REPUBLICANS RESCUE ILLINOIS, FROM THE LEFT.

THIS GOVERNOR PRITZKER INSTEAD OF DEFEATING DEMOCRATS, ILLINOIS REPUBLICANS SEEM INTENT ON FIGHTING EACH OTHER LESS THAN A MONTH OUT FROM THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION IN MILWAUKEE.

THE FORMER PRESIDENT SAYS HE'LL BE THERE, NOT CHICAGO DURING THE RNC.

PROBABLY THEY THINK BECAUSE OF THE HOTEL.

THEY HAVE A BEAUTIFUL HOTEL.

THEY'RE GETTING AS GOOD AS IT GETS.

BUT I'M STAYING HERE BREAKING ONTO THE SCHOOL, SEEN THE CONTEST FOR A SEAT ON CHICAGO'S FIRST EVER ELECTED SCHOOL BOARD BEGINS.

AND THE U.S. SUPREME COURT'S LATEST OPINION COULD BRING MORE PROTECTIONS TO ILLINOIS DOMESTIC VIOLENCE VICTIMS.

AND NOW TO OUR WEEK IN REVIEW PANEL PROMISE THERE'S GOING GET STRAINING US OUR BRANDON POPE FROM WC IU REMINDING FROM CHALKED THE CHICAGO PICTURED FROM THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE MAISEL FROM CAPITOL NEWS, ILLINOIS.

NOW, LET'S GET TO IT GOING TO YOU THE ILLINOIS REPUBLICAN PARTY IS IN CHAOS.

THE CHAIRMAN OF THE STATE PARTY.

THAT IS JOHN TRACY QUITTING.

THIS IS JUST WEEKS AHEAD OF REALLY THE BIGGEST EVENT EVER FOR THE REPUBLIC FOR REPUBLICANS, THAT NATIONAL CONVENTION JUST WEEKS AWAY.

SO WHAT IS GOING ON?

WHY IS HE STEPPING DOWN?

THIS IS NOT A HUGE SURPRISE.

YOU KNOW, PERHAPS THE TIMING.

YOU NECESSARILY WANT CHAOS JUST WEEKS HAVING 2 HAVE A SHOW OF UNITY, BUT, YOU KNOW, DON TRACY, HE'S BEEN THE HEAD OF THE STATE PARTY FOR 3 AND A HALF YEARS OUT.

IT IS NOT BEEN A SMOOTH 3 YEARS YOU KNOW, IT BASICALLY HE IS JUST NOT THE PERSON THAT THE HARD-LINER CONSERVATIVES WHO HAVE GAINED POWER WITHIN THE STATE PARTY WON YOU KNOW, 2022 THAT ELECTION CYCLE, HIS FIRST AT THE HELM, NOT A VERY GOOD ONE FOR REPUBLICANS IN ILLINOIS AND THIS YOU KNOW, REPUBLICANS ARE JUST VERY, VERY DIVIDED OVER WHAT THE WAY FORWARD SHOULD BE.

AS I MORE HARDLINERS GETTING POWER WITHIN THE PARTY AND THEY PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT PRAGMATIC.

THEY WANT PEOPLE WHO PASSED THE PURITY TESTS AND PEOPLE WHO ARE WILLING TO BE THE HAPPY WARRIORS IN THIS CULTURE WAR.

WHAT IS THE PURITY TEST ISN'T DUE BACK.

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP, WHAT IS IT'S THAT AND MORE, THOUGH, YOU KNOW, IT'S HAVE YOU I HAVE TO, YOU KNOW, REMEMBER BACK IN 2018 CONSERVATIVE FIREBRAND, SHE RAN TO BE A ILLINOIS'S NOMINEE FOR GOVERNOR NARROWLY DEFEATED BY BRUCE RAUNER.

ONE ON THE LIST PRITZKER, RIGHT?

RIGHT.

YOU KNOW, HAD HAD MAYBE THROWN IN HER AT HER HAT IN THE RING TO BECOME THE NEW CHAIR SOME OF THESE FOLKS ON THE RIGHT ARE THANKFUL.

SHE HAD A PICTURE WITH BRUCE RAUNER BACK IN 2018 NEARBY BEFORE WAS JUST LIKE.

AND THAT WAS TO YES.

AND SO IT MARK SHAW, HE HAD ALSO HE HAD ATTEMPTED TO BE THE STATE PARTY CHAIR BACK IN 2018 AND THEIR ONLY LOSS AS KIND OF A CONSOLATION HE WAS GIVEN VICE CHAIR EARLIER THIS WEEK, THE STATE CENTRAL COMMITTEE KICKED HIM OUT OF THAT POSITION, EVEN THOUGH HE'S ALSO ON THE STATE CENTRAL COMMITTEE.

SO I REMEMBER WHEN HE EXTREMELY CONSERVATIVE AND NOW HE'S JUST YOU KNOW, IN LINE WITH WHAT THESE PEOPLE WANT.

SO REALLY AN ENTIRE SHIFT KNOW.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN, BRANDON, FOR?

I'M NOT TAKING IT WILL ASK.

AND IF YOU THINK ABOUT WHAT IT MEANS FOR THE ILLINOIS REPUBLICAN PARTY NO WHAT THIS MEANS FOR THE REST OF ILLINOIS.

DOES IT I THINK ULTIMATELY IT DOES A LITTLE BIT FOR THOSE WHO, YOU KNOW, WANT TO HAVE CONSERVATIVE VOICES ARE A PASSION ABOUT CONSERVATIVE VOICES HAVING OF PLACE.

IF THE PARTY THAT'S, YOU KNOW, IN CHARGE OF MAKING SURE THAT REPUBLICANS HAVE A CHANCE IN A VERY BLUE STATE, CAN'T GET THEIR HOUSE IN ORDER THAN THE CANDIDATES WHO WANT TO SEE MAY NOT BE THERE FOR YOU WHEN YOU GO TO THE BALLOT.

AND SO THAT'S ULTIMATELY THE IMPACT ON THE VOTERS REALLY SORT OF SOLIDIFYING THIS ONE PARTY RULE.

THAT YOUR EX?

BUT I THINK IT DEFINITELY SOLIDIFIES THE ONE PARTY OR ARE WE SEEING THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY OF ILLINOIS CELEBRATING AND SAY, LOOK AT THESE GUYS AND THEY ARE NOT UNIFIED.

WE ARE.

WHAT DID YOU MAKE OF THAT?

REALLY?

THE ILLINOIS DEMOCRAT'S, WHAT LIKE EUPHORIC OVER THIS?

AND IN A STATEMENT SAID THAT THEY DON'T EXPECT THE NEW LEADERSHIP TO CHANGE THE ANTI-CHOICE, ANTI-WORKER AND TIGHT.

PRO TRUMP POLICIES THAT IS BUT THE QUOTE WISH THE BEST OF LUCK TO THE INEVITABLE MEGA A STREAM WHO WILL SUCCEED ON STRIP.

JAKE, DO YOU THINK THEY MEAN THEY WISH THEM LUCK?

YOU KNOW, I THINK THEY'RE THEY'RE CELEBRATING THAT THE REPUBLICANS ARE FIGHTING AMONG THEMSELVES AND NOT FIGHTING DEMOCRATS.

YOU KNOW, THAT OBVIOUSLY CREATES A BETTER LANE FOR DEMOCRATS.

THERE'S NOT THERE'S A LESS SERIOUS OPPOSITION TO THE PARTY IN POWER TO THE DEMOCRATS THE REPUBLICANS ARE FIGHTING AMONG THEMSELVES.

AND I KNOW YOU CARE PASSIONATELY ABOUT GOVERNMENT IN GENERAL, NOT FROM A PARTISAN POINT OF VIEW, BUT THIS SORT SIGN OF DEEPER POLARIZATION?

AND IS THIS WHAT?

FRANKLY, MAYBE DESERVES THIS SORT DISARRAY IN.

CAN YOU EXPLAIN?

I MEAN, WE'VE BEEN MOVING TOWARD THIS FOR A VERY LONG TIME.

THE WASHINGTON IS FLIRTATION OF A POLITICS HAS COME TO ILLINOIS, EVEN THOUGH LEADERS IN BOTH PARTIES HAD TRIED TO FEND IT OFF THE BIGGER WAVE THAT THEY CAN, THEN THEY COULD CONTROL.

YOU KNOW, DEMOCRATS, OF COURSE, CONTROL THE ILLINOIS HOUSE SENATE, ALL OF THE CONSTITUTIONAL THE ILLINOIS SUPREME COURT.

IT IS TOTAL CONTROL OF DEMOCRATS IN ILLINOIS.

THEY HAVE NO USE FOR THE REPUBLICAN PARTY EXCEPT FOR TO USE THEM AS A PUNCHING BAG.

AND YOU KNOW, REPUBLICANS, THEY HAVE, YOU FRANKLY, IRRELEVANT, ESPECIALLY SINCE BRUCE RAUNER LEFT OFFICE.

AND THE MONEY IS JUST NOT THERE EITHER.

AND THAT'S, YOU KNOW, PART IS THIS GOING TO CHANGE ANYTHING?

I I DON'T REALLY THINK SO.

YOU NATIONALLY, IT'S NOT LIKE ANY REPUBLICANS NATIONALLY LOOK TOWARD THE ILLINOIS REPUBLICAN PARTY FOR ANY POINTERS.

YOU KNOW, WHOEVER GETS TO REPLACE TOM TRACY, I WOULD IMAGINE A MORE CONSERVATIVE VOICE.

YOU KNOW, THE PROBLEM MAY BE AMP UP THEIR ATTACKS.

BUT IN TERMS OF MONEY IN TERMS OF SUPPORT, IN TERMS OF WINNING ANY I DON'T SEE THAT HAPPENING.

I THINK IT IS DEEP INTO THE CRATER.

YOU LOOK AT PLACES LIKE DUPAGE COUNTY WHICH USED TO RELIABLY BE REPUBLICAN STRONGHOLD AND EVER SINCE 2008 NOW THE REPUBLICAN PARTY THERE HAS SHRUNK TO WHERE THERE'S ONLY ONE GOP REPRESENTATIVE ON THEIR CITY OR COUNTY BOARD.

THE REALITY ON THE GROUND IS YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE LESS REPUBLICAN REPRESENTATION MOVE FARTHER TO THE RIGHT IN A BLUE BLUE STATE LIKE ILLINOIS ISN'T GOING TO HELP THOSE PAR POLITICIANS FLOAT TO THE TOP.

AND WHEN ANY ELECTED RACES AND NO SPEAKING OF THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION, AGAIN, CHAOS COMES REALLY AT ONE MIGHT THINK MAYBE AN INOPPORTUNE TIME.

MAYBE IT'S IT'S GREAT.

YOU CAN SORT OF CRYSTALLIZE THE NEW HEAD OF THE CONVENTION.

BUT THIS COMES DONALD TRUMP SUPPOSEDLY, ACCORDING TO REPORTS HERE, INCLUDING FROM A CHICAGO TELEVISION STATION, WAS GOING TO ACTUALLY SAY INSTEAD OF IN MILWAUKEE IN THE CITY OF CHICAGO FOR THE RNC BECAUSE HE HAD CALLED MILWAUKEE, QUOTE.

HORRIBLE.

NOW.

DOES THIS HURT TRUMP AND THE GOP IN WISCONSIN?

I MEAN, IT'S A BATTLEGROUND STATE.

LOOK, I THINK WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT A CANDIDATE LIKE DONALD TRUMP, YOU KIND OF THROW OUT THE CONVENTIONAL WISDOM OF WHAT'S PALATABLE TO SAY.

AND I THINK I DON'T THINK IT'S PROBABLY I I FEEL AS THOUGH PROBABLY HIS PARTY MEMBERS DIDN'T THINK THAT WAS A GREAT THING TO SAY ABOUT THE CITY THAT IS LITERALLY HOLDING THE CONVENTION.

THAT IS GOING TO NOMINATE HIM FOR PRESIDENT.

BUT I YOU KNOW, I I THINK THAT KIND FLY BY THE SEAT OF HIS PANTS AND PEOPLE THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT IT WOULD THE WAY PEOPLE APPRECIATE THAT.

HE HAS A WHOLE BASE VOTER BASE THAT APPRECIATES THAT.

AND I THAT'S KIND OF EXPECTED AS PART OF A CHALLENGE FROM THOSE TRUMP HAS A BASE, A FERVENT BASE.

BUT IT'S FIXED.

AND SO THE PROBABLY HAS A LOOK AT REALLY IS.

HE'S TO GROW THAT BASE COMMENTS LIKE THAT IN A BATTLEGROUND STATE LIKE WISCONSIN, IT KIND OF LIMITS A LITTLE BIT FOR THOSE INDEPENDENTS OUT.

THERE MAY HAVE BEEN CONSIDERING THAT AND THEY MAY BE LIVING IN A WALKING TO BIRDS THERE AND THEY'RE THINKING, WOW, YOU THINK THAT BEEN ON MY COMMUNITY?

I CARE ABOUT WHY EVEN HERE.

INTERESTING TO WATCH.

EXCUSE ME.

WATCH THESE DELEGATES KIND OF SCRAMBLE TO EXPLAIN WHAT HE EXPLANATIONS.

YEAH.

YEAH.

I MEAN, YOU KNOW, IN CHICAGO WE GET HYPER OFFENDED WHEN ANYBODY CHICAGO RATE IN SOME WAYS.

THIS IS A COMPLIMENT FROM DONALD TRUMP ABOUT OUR SA AND ONE OF HIS FAVORITE PUNCHING BAGS OVER THE YEARS, TOO.

AND SO AT BUT NOW HE LOVES SOMETIMES TO STAY TRY TO HAVE A RALLY MANY YEARS AGO DURING HIS FIRST RUN FOR PRESIDENT AND THE PROTESTS GOT SO BAD THAT HE ACTUALLY KICK, I OFF DID.

SO.

WELL, WE ARE GEARING UP FOR COVERAGE OF ALL OF THAT.

THE ILLINOIS REPUBLICAN FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP'S CAMPAIGN AND ALL THAT.

BUT LET'S TURN INSTEAD TO CITY POLITICS BECAUSE WE HAVE SORT OF NEW FORM OF RUNNING FOR OFFICE THAT IS BEING PUSHED BY ALDERMAN AND MATT MARTIN OF THE 40 SOME IMPORTANT JAKE, THIS IS 20 TO USE TAXPAYER MONEY TO ACTUALLY RUN FOR A SEAT ON THE CITY COUNCIL.

WHY IS HE PUSHING THIS NOW?

YES.

SO THIS IS AN IDEA FOR MATT MARTIN TO TRY TO TAKE SOME OF THE WEALTHY AFFECT POLITICS ALL ACROSS OUR COUNTRY OUT OF CHICAGO, POLITICS TO SOME EXTENT TO GIVE MORE POWER AND FURY TO EVERYDAY VOTERS BY ALLOWING POLITICIANS RUNNING FOR THE CITY COUNCIL TO RELY LESS ON THOSE DONATIONS WHAT IT WOULD DO IS IT WOULD ALLOW ALDERMANIC CANDIDATES TO OPT INTO A PROGRAM WHERE IF THEY QUALIFY BY RAISING ENOUGH MONEY FROM 60 DONORS AND THEIR WARD 100 DONORS.

TOTAL OF 17,000.

THEY COULD GET UP TO 200,000 MORE DOLLARS FROM THE CITY BASED ON HOW MUCH MORE THEY RAISE AND THAT WOULD MATT MARTIN SAYS ALLOW ALDERMANIC CANDIDATES TO GO DOOR-TO-DOOR TO SPEND MORE TIME TALKING WITH VOTERS TRYING TO GET THOSE SMALL DONATIONS INSTEAD OF TRYING TO GO TO BUSINESS LEADERS OR EVEN UNIONS TO TRY TO GET, YOU KNOW, BIGGER CHECKS.

YOU KNOW, WHAT DO YOU SEE THIS DO YOU BELIEVE THAT YOU WOULD BE ABLE TO REALLY BYPASS SOME OF ORANGE FRENCH, BIG MONEY INTERESTS IF YOU WERE ABLE TO HAVE CANDIDATES RECEIVE TAXPAYER MONEY WORRY LESS ABOUT.

THAT WILL CERTAINLY AN INTERESTING IDEA.

I THINK WE'VE ALSO HEARD ABOUT THIS IDEA IN SPRINGFIELD OVER THE YEARS TO NOT THAT'S EVER GONE ANYWHERE.

YOU KNOW, THE IDEA THAT YOU ARE MORE ACCOUNTABLE TO THE VOTERS, IF YOU'RE NOT, YOU KNOW, RECEIVING AND FOR LYING ON A BIG MONEY AIR.

BUT, YOU KNOW, I I I'M NOT SURE THAT IT'S GOING TO GO ANYWHERE.

YOU KNOW, I THINK JAKE ILLUSTRATED THE HIGH BARRIER THAT IT WOULD HAVE TO CROSS THAT LINE IS AT STAKE.

WELL, IT WAS DNP.

THIS THIS PASSED IN COMMITTEE, IT'S NOW BEEN STALLED.

IT'S THE MAYOR HASN'T REALLY, OH, MY HAS A LOT WRONG PIECE OF LEGISLATION THERE.

IT'S BEEN SENT TO THE RULES COMMITTEE.

SO STALLED IN THAT WAY.

AND IT'S GOING TO BE A CHALLENGE TO GAIN ALDERMANIC SUPPORT.

WAS GOING TO SAY IT'S STALLED WHEN YOU LOOK AT SORT OF JUST THAT THE PROCESS, BUT BEHIND THAT, WHY IS IT STALLED?

YOU KNOW, THERE'S BEEN SOME TO AN EXTENT THAT.

THERE'S BEEN SOME INFIGHTING BETWEEN MAYOR JOHNSON AND ALDERMAN MATT MARTIN.

THERE WAS THAT THAT THEY'VE EVEN KNOW THIS IS MAYOR JOHNSON PICK.

MARTIN IS CHAIR THAT COMMITTEE THIS BE SOMETHING THAT THEY HAVE SPOKEN ABOUT PROGRESSIVE MAYOR.

YEAH.

AND AND TO TO JOHNSON'S CREDIT, YOU KNOW, HE SHOWN SUPPORT ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL FOR PUBLIC FINANCING OF CAMPAIGNS.

MARTIN JOHNSON HAVE GONE BACK AND FORTH A BIT ANOTHER PIECE OF LEGISLATION FROM MARTIN THAT WOULD CODIFY AN EXECUTIVE ORDER FROM RON EMANUEL THAT WOULD BLOCK A LOBBYIST DONATIONS TO MAYORAL CANDIDATES.

JOHNSON HAS A PUSH BACK AGAINST THAT EFFORT AND IT'S ALSO BEEN STALLED.

WHY NOT?

THAT SEEMS LIKE JUST THE START OF GOOD GOVERNMENT SAYING THAT FOLKS LIKE TO HEAR ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL AND THAT WE'VE OFTEN HEARD FROM CANDIDATES RIGHT?

WELL, ON ONE HAND.

THAT THE REASON THAT MARTIN IS TRYING TO CLASSIFY THIS LEGISLATION IS BECAUSE JOHNSON RECEIVED DONATIONS FROM LAST YEAR THAT A WIN THAT CASE WHICH VIOLATED THE EXECUTIVE ORDER APPARENTLY WENT UP FOR THE ETHICS BOARD EXPORTS OF THEY COULDN'T ENFORCE THAT EXECUTIVE ORDER.

THAT WAS AN SO SO MATT MARTIN WENT AND TRIED TO CREATE AN ORDINANCE.

JOHNSON HAS SAID THAT HE THINKS THAT THE ORDINANCE SHOULD BE BROADER.

THAT MARTIN SHOULD FOCUS ON MORE SWEEPING LEGISLATION, INCLUDING PUBLIC FINANCING.

SO THANK WE WANT YOU TO GO FURTHER AND FRIEND AND I WANT YOU TO WEIGH IN ON THIS.

DOES THIS SEEM AS IF MAKE IT BIGGER IS A WAY OF MAKING IT NOTHING OR THAT THAT'S TRULY TAKE AN OPPORTUNITY, REALLY RUN WITH IT FOR SAYS GOING PIECEMEAL.

IT SOUNDS LIKE A LITTLE BIT OF DODGING, YOU KNOW, TRYING TO BACK OFF THE ISSUES, BUT AS POSSIBLE BECAUSE AS YOU MENTIONED, AND THERE ARE SPECIAL INTERESTS AND LOBBYISTS THAT ARE BEING SUPPORTED SUPPORTING MAYOR BRANDON JOHNSON AND WILL SUPPORT OTHER CANDIDATES IN THE FUTURE.

SO I THINK ULTIMATELY IS GOING TO BE A TOUGH SELL FOR A LOT OF POLITICIANS.

IT MAY BE A TOUGH SELL FOR TAXPAYERS AS WELL BEING TAXPAYER MONEY FOR CANDIDATES THAT THE CANDIDATES THEY'RE NOT ACTUALLY IN OFFICE YET.

TO SEE HOW IT PLAYS OUT.

IT'S BEEN DONE IN SMALLER CITIES FOR SURE.

BUT A CITY OF THIS SIZE TO BE ONE OF THE FIRST BIG CITIES TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS AND NOW MOVING ON TO SOMETHING ANOTHER POTENTIAL USE OF TAXPAYER MONEY IN THIS IS THAT MAYOR BRANDON JOHNSON FORMING A TASK FORCE TO REALLY FIGURE OUT HOW THE CITY OF CHICAGO COULD MOVE FORWARD AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT REPARATIONS.

NOW, JAKE TEST FORCE OFTEN THIS IS AGAIN, A SORT OF A DELAY TACTIC.

YOU FORM A TASK FORCE SAY THEY ARE TAKING ACTION AND LET THE TASK FORCE TALK.

TALK AND TALK.

YEAH.

YOU KNOW, LORI PUSH AFTER TWENTY-TWENTY TO HAVE A SUBCOMMITTEE IN THE CITY COUNCIL THAT WAS STUDYING REPARATIONS TO THAT WENT SO THIS IS THIS DIFFERENT YET ANOTHER TASK TO SOME EXTENT.

YES, YOU KNOW, THERE THERE'S SOME MONEY BEHIND THIS TO SUPPORT PEOPLE AS THEY DO THIS WORK.

YOU KNOW, IT'S IT'S WORTH POINTING OUT THAT, YOU KNOW, THE LANGUAGE THAT MAYOR JOHNSON USES WHEN HE TALKS ABOUT REPARATIONS.

HERE IS THE LANGUAGE USED THIS MONEY TALKS ABOUT EVERY POLICY THAT HE MAKES.

TALKS ABOUT THE HISTORIC EVENT, THIS INVESTMENT AND BLACKING NEWS IN CHICAGO ON THE SOUTH AND WEST SIDES.

AND THAT'S THE FOCUS FOR HIM AND A WHOLE LOT OF HIS POLICIES.

SO, YOU ADDED IN HIS SORT OF AND AND YOU KNOW, IT'S HARD TO TELL WHAT A TASK FORCE WOULD DO AND WHAT COULD DO, YOU KNOW, SIMILAR REPARATIONS PROGRAM THAT EXISTS ALREADY IN EVANSTON IS CURRENTLY IN COURTS BECAUSE THE CONSERVATIVE GROUP SAID IT VIOLATES THE 14TH AMENDMENT.

SO HARD TO PREDICT WHAT THIS COULD ACTUALLY DO.

BUT I THINK THE SPIRIT OF OF THIS REPARATIONS PROJECT IS YOU KNOW, SOMETHING THAT REALLY COULD AFFECT THE ADMINISTRATION MORE AND MORE.

AND WE DID HEAR IN THE BEGINNING FROM THE MAYOR SAYING THAT INSTITUTIONS, INCLUDING THE MAYOR'S OFFICE CITY COUNCIL AT THEMSELVES HARMED BLACK PEOPLE.

AND FOR THAT, HE SAID, I'M SORRY.

SO THEY HAVE WITH THE CITY OF CHICAGO.

I APOLOGIZE.

FOR THE HISTORICAL WRONGS COMMITTED AGAINST BLACK PEOPLE IN CHICAGO.

MEANINGFUL TO HEAR THAT FROM THE MAYOR.

I THINK IT IS MEANINGFUL HERE.

I THINK.

I'M WITH THE REPARATIONS DISCUSSION.

I'M ALWAYS FASCINATED WHEN CITY MUNICIPALITIES TAKE ON THE ISSUE REALLY IT PROBABLY SHOULD BE MORE OF A FEDERAL ISSUE BECAUSE WHEN IT COMES TELL SLAVERY, THAT IS A DEEPLY AMERICAN CRISIS.

NOT JUST ONE THAT ONE CITY OR ANOTHER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR.

I AM CURIOUS HOW IT'S GOING TO PLAY OUT WITH THE EVANSTON CHALLENGE THE IDEA THAT, YOU KNOW, DOING PAYMENTS BASED RACE IS, YOU KNOW, SOMEHOW A VIOLATION OF 14TH AMENDMENT.

AND I'M ALSO CURIOUS WHAT FRAMEWORK THIS REPARATIONS WOULD LOOK LIKE.

YOU RECALL THE EVANSTON ONE WAS MORE TARGETED TOWARD HOUSING AND HELPING WITH MORTGAGES.

SO IT MAY NOT BE DIRECT CASH BAIL TO BE OTHER WAYS THAT YOU CAN HAVE OPERATIONS IN SUPPORT FOR BLACK CHICAGOANS.

BUT HOW DO YOU ACTUALLY WHO QUALIFIES FOR THAT?

IS THERE GOING TO BE GENEALOGY TESTS LIKE THOSE ARE THE BIG RED LINING, RIGHT?

THAT'S WHAT MAKES THIS TASK FORCE REALLY HAS TO GET DOWN.

AND I DO ADMIRE THE FACT THAT IT LOOKS LIKE THIS TASK FORCE HAS A FRAMEWORK THAT'S REALISTIC TO TRY TO ACTUALLY MAKE PUBLIC RESULTS.

MEANWHILE, ILLINOIS GETTING GOING ON REPARATIONS COMMISSION AS WELL, BUT WAITING A MONTH FOR THAT.

NOW WE DON'T KNOW WHAT IS GOING TO GO FORWARD WITH PREPARATIONS BUT CHANGE FOR SURE.

COMING TO CHICAGO IN THE SENSE THAT FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER ELECTED SCHOOL BOARD, AT LEAST PARTIAL IS ON THE HORIZON.

SO RIMA, I TURN TO YOU.

YOU WERE AT THE BOARD OF ELECTIONS VOTING SITE EARLY THIS WEEK WHEN HOPEFUL CANDIDATES LINED UP STACKS OF PAPERS TO FILE THEIR PETITIONS.

WHAT WAS YOUR IMPRESSION OF THE CANDIDATES THAT YOU SPOKE AT THE 2?

YEAH.

SO IT WAS IT WAS MY FIRST TIME COVERING THAT KIND OF DAY IN CHICAGO SAYS VERY INTERESTING.

THERE WERE 21 CANDIDATES WHO EVENTUALLY FILED ON THEIR PAPERWORK.

NOW, THIS IS PAPERWORK THAT'S REQUIRED TO GET ON THE BALLOT FOR NOVEMBER.

5TH, I'M THEY NEED AT LEAST 1000 SIGNATURES, BUT NO MORE THAN 3,000 FROM THE DISTRICT SAID THEY'RE RUNNING IN FROM REGISTERED VOTERS.

PEOPLE IN LINE WERE EXCITED.

GENERALLY YOU HEAD A TON OF FIRST-TIME CAN CANDIDATES.

ONE PERSON STUCK OUT GRANTING GRAMMY-WINNING SONGWRITER AND RAPPER RHYME FEST WHO HAS RUN FOR ALDERMAN BEFORE DECIDES THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF FIRST TIMERS.

THEY WERE THERE WITH THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS.

THEY WERE THERE CAMPAIGN WITH STACKS OF DOCUMENTS AND JUST READY TO FIGHT.

IT IS WORK TO RUN.

WHAT ISSUES THAT THEY SAY THAT THEY REALLY WANT TO GET ON THE BOARD TO TRY TO ADDRESS?

YEAH, IT WAS.

IT WAS A HUGE RANGE.

I FEEL LIKE THE COMMON THING I HEARD WAS RIGHT NOW.

CPS IS FACING ALMOST 400 MILLION DOLLAR FUNDING DEFICIT.

THEY'VE ALSO CHANGED HOW THEIR FUNDING SCHOOL SO LOTS OF PEOPLE BROUGHT THAT ISSUE YEAH, AND I I THINK PEOPLE JUST WANT BOOST ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT TO SOMETHING.

I HEARD A LOT HOW BIG OF A DEAL JAKE IS MOVING TO AN ELECTED SCHOOL BOARD.

AGAIN, THIS IS RIGHT NOW ONLY PARTIAL.

SO EURO CONTROL REMAINS.

YOU KNOW, MERRILL CONTROL REMAINS AND THAT'S A HUGE DEAL.

BUT IT'S GOING TO BE REALLY INTERESTING TO SEE WHAT THE ACTUAL SCHOOL BOARD LOOKS LIKE.

YOU KNOW, WHO CONTROLS THE POWER THERE.

AND AND, YOU KNOW, EVENTUALLY WHEN IT'S 21 PERSON ALL YOU KNOW, WHO'S BACKING CANDIDATES, WHO WHO'S WINNING IT WILL BE REALLY INTERESTING TO SEE CHICAGO TEACHERS UNION, IF IT'S SCHOOL CHOICE ADVOCATES, WHO SAID, WELL, IT WAS YOU HOW MUCH MONEY.

THAT'S MY GUEST.

NOW, NEW OUT TODAY THE U.S. SUPREME COURT HAS A DECISION THAT ALLOWS LAWS THAT WOULD KEEP GUNS OUT OF THE HANDS.

HANNAH OF ALLEGED DOMESTIC ABUSERS.

NOW THIS COMES ADVOCATES IN ILLINOIS HAVE BEEN PRESSING FOR LEGISLATION THAT WOULD REALLY DO JUST THAT.

SO IS THIS LIKELY TO CHANGE THINGS THAT THIS RENEW RULINGS THAT'S LIKELY TO CHANGE THINGS IN OUR STATE?

IT DEFINITELY ADDS A LOT TO THE FOLKS WHO HAVE BEEN PUSHING THIS.

YOU KNOW, THE STATES BACK TO LAST SPRING AND TRAGICALLY LAST SUMMER, THERE THIS HORRIBLE.

DEATH OF THIS WOMAN CREATED GONZALEZ LITTLE VILLAGE AND HER TEENAGE DAUGHTER, DANIELA.

AND SO THE BILL WAS KILLED, BY THE WAY, ORDERED ALLEGEDLY BY AN INDIVIDUAL WHO SHE HAD AN ORDER OF PROTECTION AGAINST, BUT STILL ACTUALLY EXACTLY.

AND SO THE IT HAD FAILED LAST SPRING IN THE LEGISLATURE AND IT WAS DUBBED KOREAN IS BILL IN HER HONOR.

THERE'S A BIG PUSH LEGISLATORS.

WHAT BACK TO SPRINGFIELD OCTOBER FOR VETO SESSION DIDN'T HAPPEN.

THERE WASN'T A TON ON IT THIS SPRING BECAUSE IN THE MEANTIME, THIS U.S. SUPREME COURT WAS TAKEN UP.

AND SO PEOPLE HAVE BEEN KIND OF WAITING TO SEE WHAT THE COURT HAD SAID.

AND SO, BUT AS THE SIDE, 8 TO ONE RULING TODAY SAYING THAT, YOU TAKING AWAY GUNS FROM FOLKS WITH DOMESTIC VIOLENCE ORDER OF PROTECTION AGAINST DOES NOT VIOLATE THE SECOND AMENDMENT.

YOU KNOW, WE SAW SOME STATEMENTS OUT TODAY FROM THE FOLKS WHO HAVE BEEN BACKING THIS.

WE'VE BEEN PUSHING FOR THIS AND I DEFINITELY THINK THERE'S GOING TO BE YET ANOTHER BIG PUSH BEFORE LAWMAKERS GO BACK TO SPRINGFIELD AFTER THE ELECTION.

NOVEMBER WILL BE ABLE TO USE THIS AS A REASON FOR NOT PASSING THAT LAW.

NOW THAT THE RULING IS OUT, NO.

ALSO OUT OF WASHINGTON, PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN ISSUED AN EXECUTIVE ORDER THAT POTENTIALLY OFFERS A PATHWAY TO CITIZENSHIP FOR REALLY HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF IMMIGRANTS WHO HAVE LIVED HERE FOR AT LEAST 10 YEARS, MARRIED TO A U.S. CITIZEN.

REMOTE.

WHAT PROMPTED THE PRESIDENT TO DO THIS NOW?

I THINK THAT THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF CONCERN ABOUT FAMILIES WHO, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE WE HAVE MANY PEOPLE FROM THE SOUTHERN BORDER COMING TO BIG CITIES IN THE UNITED STATES.

AND I THINK THERE'S BEEN SOME CONCERN ABOUT WHAT KINDS OF PROTECTIONS CAN THERE BE FOR FOLKS TO KIND OF SETTLE DOWN HERE, MADE THIS THEIR HOME.

AND HE RECENTLY YOU KNOW, HE'S WORKING TOWARDS SECURING THE BORDER MORE SO AND AND EARNED A FAIR AMOUNT OPPOSITE SIDE OF OPPOSITE.

SO I THINK IT MIGHT BE A BIT OF A RESPONSE TO THAT BACKLASH.

THAT'S ME SPECULATING ABOUT.

I THINK THAT THIS STANCE TO HAVE A LOT OF IMPACT IN CHICAGO, TOO.

WELL, A LOT OF INSPECTION TREGO, HOW FRIEND?

WHAT DO YOU HAVE FAMILIES HERE?

WHO LIKELY OUR CITIZENS WHO HAVE FAMILY THAT ARE NOT.

SO THIS IS A BIG RELIEF FOR THEM, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU HAVE SO MANY THAT DON'T HAVE HOMES, DON'T HAVE PLACE TO AND FEEL KINDA LOST IN THIS NEW CITY.

THE RAIN, HOPEFULLY THIS AT SOME RELIEF FOR SOME PEOPLE THERE, INCLUDING ONE OF THE MEMBERS OF CONGRESS TAKES ON ILLINOIS.

WE'RE TALKING, OF COURSE, U.S. REPRESENTATIVE DELIA RAMIREZ.

HUSBAND IS A DREAM ARE NOW SEEKING WITH THE ISSUE OF MIGRANTS.

TAKE THE LATINO CAUCUS CALLING ON MAYOR JOHNSON TO END THE EVICTION OF MIGRANT FAMILIES FROM CITY SHELTERS.

AFTER THAT'S RENEWED.

HAPPENING NOW WITH THOSE WHO HAVE CHILDREN IN CPS, SCHOOLS DID THIS PUSH BY LATINO CAUCUS CHANGE ANYTHING?

YOU KNOW, IT MIGHT HAVE ACTUALLY IT'S HARD TO TELL US SO FAR.

BUT THE MAYOR'S ADMINISTRATION DID TELL ME THAT THEY WANT TO REVERSE THIS POLICY.

THEY THEY DO WANT TO AS LONG AS THERE CAPACITY IN SHELTERS.

AND KEEP IN WITH SHELTERS SO MUCH LOWER.

NOW THEY'RE ALMOST THERE ARE OVER 4,000 BEDS AVAILABLE RIGHT NOW.

SO AS LONG AS THERE'S CAPACITY, I HAVE PEOPLE BEEN MOVING OUT 3RD OUR BENCH.

IS IT JUST THE SHELTERS THAT THEY'RE IN?

TIME THAT THERE HAVE BEEN SOME FAMILIES THAT HAVE BEEN MOVED OUT?

THEY THEY DID START THIS POLICY LAST WEEK.

YOU KNOW, THEY DID START TO EVICT FAMILIES AFTER PREVIOUSLY ALLOWING THEM HAVE EXEMPTIONS.

BUT AFTER LATINO CAUCUS PUSHED BACK THAT MAYOR'S ADMINISTRATION, YOU KNOW, THEY DO WANT TO ALLOW FOR EXEMPTIONS TO CONTINUE.

THEY NEED PERMISSION FROM THE COUNTY AND THE STATE RIGHT NOW ASKED THE MAYOR'S ADMINISTRATION AGAIN TODAY.

HEY, HAVE YOU GUYS HEARD BACK?

AND I GOT NO RESPONSE.

BUT THERE'S AN EFFORT, AT LEAST IN THEORY, FROM THE MAYOR'S ADMINISTRATION TO FOLLOWS CAUCUS IS WELL HERE.

ALL RIGHT.

WELL, WE WILL.

AFRAID WE'RE OUT OF TIME WILL CONTINUE TO FOLLOW JUST A MOMENT.

OUR THANKS FOR THEIR INSIGHT, FRIEND AND ROOM.

I MEAN, SHERIDAN AND HANNAH MAISEL.
