GREG PRATT, IS THE CITY READY FOR SNOW.

SLASH CALLED SLASH AGAIN IN 2024.

>> WELL, YOU KNOW, WE'RE GOING TO BE WAITING FOR GODOT THIS WHOLE TIME.

I MEAN, EVERY SINGLE AND IT FEELS LIKE EVERY SINGLE WEEK FOR THE LAST 3 WEEKS.

IT'S SNOWSTORMS THOSE TORSO SNOWMAN.

WE KEEP GETTING THESE THIS BABY STUFF.

YOU KNOW, I'M I'M I'M READY FOR JUST LIKE I'M SURE YOU ARE READY WELL, MY COLLEAGUE AND IS SARAH KARP ARE READY FOR IT.

THEY'RE JOINING VIA ZOOM SARAH KARTHIKEYAN.

HE WAS GOING TO A LITTLE TOO DIFFICULT, WASN'T IT?

>> STARTED WHEN DON'T REALLY LIKE TO DRIVE IN THE AND I ALSO REALLY FAR AWAY AND DIDN'T WANT TO SIT IN TRAFFIC FOR THE WHOLE DAY.

BUT YET ACTUALLY YEAR, I'M ON THE SOUTH SIDE.

IT'S NOT THAT BAD OUTSIDE.

IT'S REALLY JUST AT THIS POINT.

IT'S JUST A LOT OF RAIN.

I THINK THAT THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE SUBURBS HAVE SOME OF THE HEAVIEST SNOW OVER THE LAST WEEK OR SO.

>> WHAT ABOUT YOU, MOLLY?

UP UP IN THE NORTH SUBURBS.

>> YEAH, YOU KNOW, I GOTTA TELL YA.

I THINK IT'S KIND OF LIKE RAIN, DELAY THEATER, WE'VE GONE TO THE BALL GAME AND THEY WON'T PLAY SO WE'RE SUPPOSED TO HAVE A MASSIVE SNOWSTORM EARLIER IN THE WEEK.

IT NEVER AMOUNTED TO ANYTHING JUST MEAN, IT'S NOT GOING TO GET TO 0.

AND ONE DAY IS THAT WOULD GREAT.

>> THAT WOULD BE GREAT.

LET'S LET'S LET'S HOPE THAT THIS TREND STEVE SO, BUT IF IT DOES, IT'S A GOOD ARE SUSPENDING THIS POLICY OF EVICTING MIGRANTS.

AFTER 60 DAYS, THIS IS GOING TO BE VERY DIFFICULT FOR VENEZUELA.

NATIVES HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED ANYTHING LIKE THIS.

YEAH, I KNOW THIS IS REALLY WORK AND WORRISOME.

THAT'S KIND OF >> YOU AT THE TRIBUNE WE CALLED UPON THE CITY AND EVERYBODY TO BE, YOU KNOW, REALLY HAVE EVERYBODY MOBILIZED.

>> TO TAKE CARE OF THESE FOLKS, AS YOU KNOW, ALMOST ALL OF THEM WILL NOT OF EXPERIENCED ANYTHING LIKE THIS AND THEIR LIVES BEFORE.

AND, YOU A WHOLE BUNCH OF THEM ARE ON BUSES, ESSENTIALLY SLEEPING ON BUSES AND WARM TO BUST WARMER WARMING BUSES OR WHATEVER.

THEY'RE CALLING THEM.

YOU KNOW, AND NO BLAMING ON A NIGHT CASTING BLAME ANYBODY.

IT IS WHAT IT IS JUST NEEDS TO BE.

THEY WE NEED TO GET THROUGH THIS PERIOD.

>> AND GREG CRY.

I WAS I WAS BY A SHELTER TODAY THAT FOLKS ARE STILL OUTSIDE.

THEY DON'T HAVE THE KIND OF NECESSARY FOR THIS WEATHER.

HOW IS THE CITY GOING TO STEP IN AND PROTECT THESE FOLKS?

>> WELL, YOU'RE SEEING SOME IN CONSISTENCIES IN THE IN THE ADMINISTRATION'S APPROACH WHERE THEY SORT OF WANT TO CUT THEM OFF.

BUT THEY WANNA THEY WANT TO NOT HAVE SOMEBODY FREEZE TO DEATH AND YOU CAN'T REALLY NEVER GOING TO REALLY FORCE A 60 DAY BAN.

PROBABLY NOT.

I MEAN, UNDER MAYOR LIGHTFOOT, THEY HAD A 16 NATION IS A PROBABLY NOT.

BUT UNDER MAYOR LIGHTFOOT, THEY HAD A 60 DAY OR MAYBE IT WAS BUT THEY DID A THING.

IT WAS NEVER ENFORCED.

AND YOU'RE CERTAINLY NOT GOING TO DO MASS ENFORCEMENT OF THIS IN THE WINTERTIME UNDER MAYOR JOHNSON BECAUSE THE BACKLASH WOULD BE HORRENDOUS, ESPECIALLY IF SOMEBODY DIES, WHICH WHICH I IF YOU KICK THEM OUT IS GOING TO BE INEVITABLE.

BUT WE AS A CITY, WE REALLY HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY WITH THE MIGRANTS THAT, YOU KNOW, WEEK AFTER WEEK, YOU.

WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE CITY, THE STATE, THE COUNTY ALL PULLING TOGETHER MORE TO MAKE SURE THAT THE CITY GROWS THE SCHOOLS GROW.

AND YOU INTEGRATE PEOPLE IN HEALTHY MANNER WITHOUT ANYBODY LOSING THAT.

YEAH.

LIKE I SAID, THERE ARE FOLKS OUTSIDE TODAY WEARING CROCS AND THEY JUST DIDN'T HAVE THE KIND OF SHOWS THE KIND OF CLOTHES.

>> READY FOR AND THAT'S PROBABLY WHAT FOLKS NEED RIGHT NOW.

THEY NEED DONATIONS FOR COATS, JACKETS, HATS, THINGS LIKE THAT.

SHOULD BE WEARING CROCS.

NO, NO, NOT NOT.

IN THAT MOVING.

OK, LET'S MOVE ON TO SOME NATIONAL POLITICS IS GOING TO BE BONE CHILLING IN IOWA FOR THE CAUCUS SAID 3 DAYS AWAY.

MIKE MCGINN, DONALD TRUMP IS JUST HAD A COMMANDING LEAD HERE.

IS THERE IS THERE ANY DOUBT ABOUT WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN?

>> I MEAN, APPARENTLY NOT.

IT DOESN'T MAKE A TON SENSE BECAUSE HE'S BEEN KIND HE JOE BIDEN PEOPLE.

TURN TO NONSENSE CALL IN MY OPINION, IDEA.

I DON'T KNOW HOW HE'S GROWING HIS BASE, BUT KIND OF SOMEONE DESCRIBED HIM AS IN A BATHTUB THAT SO HE'S NOT JUST A BIG IN THIS THING.

WILL SAY.

>> SPLASHES EVERYBODY OUT OF THERE YOU HAVE NIKKI HALEY CLOSING IN NEW HAMPSHIRE AND NOW CHRIS CHRISTIE DROPPING OUT IS THAT MAYBE GIVE HER AN EDGE THERE?

>> YEAH, IT HELPS FOR YEAH.

THAT WAS CHRISTIE'S POT WAS REASONABLY POPULAR IN NEW SORT OF IN HIS PART OF THE COUNTRY.

HE'S HE'S SORT OF NO NONSENSE, STRAIGHTFORWARD, BLUNT MANNER.

APPEALED DEALS TO THE GRANITE STATE.

AND SO THAT HELPS ARE DEFINITELY GOING CREATE MOMENTUM TO CUT INTO TRUMP'S LEAD ELSEWHERE.

I MEAN, YOU ALWAYS SEE THIS WHERE SOMEONE WINS A STATE GET ALL THIS ATTENTION AND THEN MOMENTUM HAPPENED.

THE CHANCES ARE REALLY, REALLY GOING TO HAVE TO THREAD THE NEEDLE RIGHT TO TO HAVE A CHANCE OF UPSETTING TRUMP IN THIS.

I DON'T THINK YOU CAN JUST DISMISS THAT.

YOU KNOW, WE'VE GOT A LONG WAY TO GO.

THIS IS JUST STARTING LOTS OF THINGS CAN HAPPEN.

AND YOU KNOW, IF YOU'RE IN THE GAME, YOU CAN TAKE ADVANTAGE OF WHATEVER HAPPENS.

AND AND SO YOU KNOW IT.

BUT YES, IT'S GOING TO MATTER HOW SHE DOES IN NEW HAMPSHIRE, SARAH CARPET.

DONALD TRUMP IS IN THE GAME, BUT HE'S ALSO IN THE COURTROOM ALL THE TIME POTENTIALLY GOING TO BE CONVICTED FOR A BUSINESS FRAUD IN NEW YORK.

LET ALONE FACING MORE THAN 90 FEDERAL AND STATE CRIMINAL INDICTMENTS.

IT'S JUST ONLY SEEMS TO BOOST HIS STANDING WITH HIS SUPPORTERS.

DOESN'T IT?

>> IT'S TRUE, THOUGH.

YOU DO WONDER IF AT SOME POINT.

THIS WILL CATCH UP WITH AND IT'S I MEAN, I THINK AT SOME POINT MAYBE PEOPLE WILL START SAYING WHO ARE THE ALTERNATIVES TO THIS GUY THAT'S ALWAYS IN IN CRIMINAL COURT.

BUT, YOU KNOW, I I I CANNOT SAY THAT I AM THE READER OF REPUBLICAN AND, YOU KNOW, CERTAINLY IN ILLINOIS, I THINK WE'RE KIND OF, YOU KNOW, VERY DISTANT FROM WHAT'S HAPPENING IN IOWA IN IN A WAY THAT, YOU KNOW, I I DON'T EVEN FEEL LIKE WE'RE GOING INTO A PRIMARY AS MUCH AS IN OTHER PLACES THAT WE WE FORGET WE'RE ONLY A COUPLE MONTHS AWAY.

I MEAN, GREG PRATT, OTHER CANDIDATES KEEP STAND.

>> YOU TRUMP IS GOING BRING A CIRCUS.

I'M THE PERSON THAT CAN THAT CAUSE PAUSE WITHOUT THE CIRCUITS ARE.

NIKKI HALEY SAYS, YOU KNOW, HE'S ARE GOING TO BE NECK AND NECK WITH JOE BIDEN, BUT I CAN BE JOE BIDEN'S THAT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE ANY OF THOSE ARE GOING STICK WITH THAT WITH A BASE OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.

>> NO, IT ACTUALLY RON DESANTIS WAS TALKING TODAY ABOUT FOX NEWS AND HE SAID THAT THE CONSERVATIVE MEDIA DOESN'T WANT TO CRITICIZE TRUMP BECAUSE THEY'RE AFRAID OF LOSING RATINGS AND AND THE STAGE, WHICH IS IRONIC FOR FOR DESANTIS TO BE SAYING BECAUSE IT'S TRUE THAT THE THE REPUBLICAN HAS SORT OF BECOME THIS COLD FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP AND NO MATTER WHAT HE DOES, THEY THEY HANG WITH AND YOU SEE PEOPLE USED TO BE A CERTAIN WAY LIKE A LEASE.

TIFFANY CO WILL NOW REPEAT WHATEVER IT IS DONALD TRUMP SAYS AND SO IT'S A REALLY DISHEARTENING STATE OF AFFAIRS.

AND AND IN OUR POLITICAL SYSTEM WHERE PEOPLE AREN'T ENGAGING WITH THE SUBJECT IN ANY MEANINGFUL WAY.

AND YOU BRING UP IT'S A RIGHT THAT RON DESANTIS SAYS THAT BECAUSE LITERALLY ARRANGED EXCLUSIVE.

>> INTERVIEWS WITH FOX NEWS ALL THE TIME.

THERE'S ALL THESE REPORTS THAT RUPERT MURDOCH WANT TO ELEVATE HIM.

MEAN, >> I THINK A LOT OF THESE CANDIDATES HAVE HAD THEIR KIND OF ARRANGEMENTS WITH THAT WITH THAT MEDIA OUTLET.

MOVE ON TO SOME OF THE OTHER NEWS OF BOEING.

THE 7 THIRTY-SEVENS HEAR THEM ACCESS FIRST AT THE MAX 8 AND NOW THE MAX 9 AND THESE BOLTS ON THE DOORS.

SO WHAT'S HAPPENING OVER QUALITY CONTROL AT THE BOEING CORPORATION THAT NOT ENOUGH?

THAT'S GOOD, RIGHT?

I IT'S IT'S OBVIOUSLY ANY TIME YOU HAVE SOMETHING LIKE THAT HAPPENED.

>> IN AVIATION OF ALL THINGS, IT FREAKS PEOPLE OUT, YOU KNOW, AND YOU KNOW, THE STATISTICS ARE STILL WHAT THEY ARE.

IT'S ONE OF THE IT'S PROBABLY THE SAFEST WAY TO TRAVEL, YOU KNOW, SAFER THAN CERTAINLY DRIVING AND PROBABLY EVEN EVEN TAKING THAT RECENTLY.

I WAS GETTING ON THE TICKET.

IT SAYS 7.37 MAX 8 AND I YEAH, I WENT.

I SAID IS THIS REALLY LIKE, YOU KNOW, THIS IS THE SAFEST PLANE IN THE AIR RIGHT NOW, GIVEN ALL THE SCRUTINY THAT IT'S GONE THROUGH.

SO BE THE BEST TIME TO FLY RIGHT NOW IS BECAUSE EVERYBODY IS IS IS DOING EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO KEEP THESE SAFE AND CHECKING EVERY LITTLE SARAH CARPET, WOULD YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE GETTING ON A 7.37?

MAX.

I MEAN, >> THAT PHASE GROUNDED ABOUT 171 OF THEM RIGHT NOW BECAUSE OF THIS DOOR ISSUE.

>> IT'S PRETTY INCREDIBLE YOU KNOW, EVERYBODY SORT OF SURVIVED WHAT HAPPENS IN THE AIR?

I MEAN, I THINK THAT ACTUALLY GIVES ME A LITTLE MORE HOPE WITH YOU KNOW, SOME OF THESE WILL SO BAD.

I MEAN, I IT'S LIKE A DOOR FLEW LIKE EVERYBODY WOULD GO FLYING OUT TO.

AND I GUESS NOT, YOU KNOW, JUST SAYS SURE, I GUESS WENT FLYING.

SO >> IT COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE.

IT COULD HAVE BEEN.

PEOPLE ARE SEATS THAT WERE WERE NO PEOPLE, KNOW, PEOPLE IN THE ACTUAL SEATS THAT WERE THAT COULD HAVE ABSOLUTELY TRAVESTY.

>> YEAH, IT COULD HAVE BEEN CRAZY.

SO I MEAN, I GUESS THERE'S THERE'S SOMETHING TO BE SAID RIGHT ABOUT ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED.

BUT YOU KNOW, I GUESS WE ALL WANT SORT OF AT THE WINDS ARE ALL THAT, YOU KNOW, PRAYER THAT EVERYTHING IS BOLTED DOWN AND, YOU KNOW, WE ALWAYS KNOW THERE'S SOME RISK ABOUT, YOU KNOW, PHASE.

SO DON'T KNOW THAT IT WOULD CHANGE ANYTHING.

I MEAN, YOU KNOW, RIGHT NOW, IF SOMEBODY GAVE ME A TICKET TO CANCUN PATRICK, PROBABLY GET ON THAT AND SO YOU AND YOU AND TED CRUZ WHAT ABOUT YOU, MOLLY?

I MEAN, DO YOU FEEL GETTING A OKAY GETTING ON MAX 9 >> I MEAN, WHEN WHEN THEY GET IN THE AIR.

>> I I AGREE WITH THE IDEA YOU KNOW, THEY'RE PROBABLY SAFE NOW BECAUSE SO MANY OF GROUND AND THEY'RE DOING EXTRA INSPECTIONS.

>> BUT LIKE YOU, PARIS, I THINK I'D LIKE TO DO MY OWN INSPECTION USED.

IT'S SEARCH.

IS THAT WOULD BE IS USELESS.

I WOULD JUST LIKE KNOCKED ON ON THE PLANE.

CHECK A COUPLE YOU KNOW, JUST MAKE SURE.

>> JUST MAKE SURE FRANK BRING A SCREWDRIVER THERE.

IN CASE ONE A LITTLE LUCY AND THE ALLEN WRENCH AND AND THE FIX IT FOR EVERYBODY.

COMING BACK LOCALLY, GREG PRATT TELLS ABOUT SOME OF THE CITY STAFFERS.

IT'S A THEY WERE FIRED BY THE JOHNSON ADMINISTRATION FOR COMPLAINING THEY WERE HOLDOVERS FROM THE PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATION.

WE'LL SEE.

YOU HAVE 3 FORMER DIGITAL STAFFERS IN THE PRESS OFFICE WHO SAY THAT THERE'S A CULTURE OF MISTREATING WORKERS AND OF MISTREATING >> LIGHTFOOT HOLDOVERS AND AND YELLING AT THEM.

THERE WAS AN INCIDENT WHERE TOP STAFFER WAS ALLEGEDLY YELLING AT THEM FOR NOT POSTING A PICTURE FROM THE NBA DRAFT COMBINE AND THEY SAID, HEY, THERE'S AN OFFICER FUNERAL GOING ON AND THEN A COUPLE MONTHS LATER, THESE WOMEN AND THEIR AND GET FIRED AND THEY ALLEGE THAT WAS RETALIATORY BECAUSE THEY GOT PLACED ON THE DO NOT HIRE LIST, WHICH IS TRICKED.

TYPICALLY NOT FOR SUCH FOR FOR PETTY OFFENSES.

AND SO IT'S A REALLY INTERESTING WINDOW INTO THE TRANSITION BETWEEN THE ADMINISTRATION.

AND, YOU KNOW, THE ADMINISTRATION, THE JOHNSON ADMINISTRATION WOULD SAY THIS ISN'T REALLY REPRESENTATIVE OF US THIS AND THEY'RE MISS MISS DISTORTING STUFF, MISSTATING THINGS.

AND OF COURSE THEY WELL, WE'LL HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE WHETHER OR NOT INDICATIVE OF BROADER PROBLEMS COMES OUT OF THIS TOP ADVISER TO THE MAYOR, JASON LEE.

>> WHO SEEMS TO HAVE AN OUTSIZE IN THIS ADMINISTRATION.

WHAT WHAT SHOULD VIEWERS KNOW ABOUT HIM?

JASON LEE IS IS THE VERY SENIOR ADVISOR TO MAYOR JOHNSON.

HE RAN HIS DATING BACK TO THE COOK COUNTY BOARD.

>> THEY'RE QUITE CLOSE.

HE REFERRED TO DERISIVELY BY HOLDOVERS, MERRILY, YOU KNOW, THEY THE ADMINISTRATION THINK THAT'S REALLY DISRESPECTFUL FOR ANYONE TO CALL IT MERELY BECAUSE MAYOR JOHNSON IS THE MAYOR.

>> WELL, HE'S HE'S A GUY WHO HAS A LOT OF INFLUENCE AND POWER AND HE IS A VERY >> PUBLIC VOCAL PRESENCE.

DOES A LOT OF INTERVIEWS IS OUT THERE TALKING AND HE'S A, YOU KNOW, EVERY CITY HALL HAS PERSONALITIES AND THAT'S ONE OF THEM.

>> STEVE DANIELS IS THERE IS A PROBLEM HERE IN TERMS OF THE MANAGEMENT OF ITS STAFF OR ON THE WAY IT'S HANDLING THIS.

I MEAN, WASN'T JASON LEE ALSO THE GUY THAT ALLEGEDLY HAD HAD KIND OF THREATENED ONE OF THE OLDER ABOUT THE, YOU KNOW, 10 CANDIDATES WORD THAT WASN'T THAT WAS PROBABLY REALLY PROBLEMATIC.

THAT'S GOING BACK A COUPLE OF MONTHS.

BILL CONWAY IS THE THE ALDERMEN WHO'S WHO HASN'T.

>> LARGE A HOMELESS ENCAMPMENT WAS THE SOURCE OF A LOT OF A LOT OF AND WAS TRYING ESSENTIALLY GET REMOVED AND WENT TO JASON LEAD TO DO THAT.

AND AND JASON LEE SAID, OKAY, WELL, LET'S LET'S TALK ABOUT THAT AND TRIED TO SORT OF STRONG ARM AND THEN THE VOTING FOR THINGS THAT HE WASN'T IN SUPPORT OF THAT THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY AND HE BLEW SORT OF BLEW THE WHISTLE, BLEW THE WHISTLE ON.

JASON LEE SAID THIS ISN'T, YOU KNOW, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT PUBLIC SAFETY HERE.

WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT SOMETHING THAT ARE STRAIGHT ABOUT.

I DO THINK THAT THAT WAS A AT THE TIME AND YOU KNOW THAT GREG'S ALSO, IT INDICATES MAY BE SOME ISSUES AS WELL.

I MEAN, THAT PERHAPS THIS THIS, THAT THIS GUY HAS A LITTLE BIT TOO MUCH INFLUENCE.

WE SEE THIS ADMINISTRATION TO WITHHOLD OVERS AND I MEAN, THINK WE SAW THAT IN THE LAST ADMINISTRATION, TOO.

>> SO IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON SERVE.

A NICE BY GREG CRAIG.

THE TRIBUNE THAT SARAH KARP.

>> WHAT HAPPENED TO US?

77,000 ELECTRONIC DEVICES THAT WERE WORTH.

23 MILLION THAT WERE GIVEN TO CPS AND THAT THEY REPORTED LOST OR STOLEN.

WHAT HAPPENED TO THEM?

>> RIGHT.

YOU KNOW, WE DON'T REALLY KNOW EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED TO THEM, BUT IT'S IT'S REALLY KIND OF, YOU KNOW, THERE ARE MARKED AS LOST OR STOLEN.

BUT ONE OF THE THINGS ABOUT THE INSPECTOR GENERAL'S REPORTED THAT HE SAID, YOU KNOW, HIS OFFICE WENT OUT AND ASKED PEOPLE, DO YOU HAVE THESE COMPUTERS?

FOR EXAMPLE, THERE IS A TEACHER THAT HAD 10 COMPUTERS IN ONE YEAR.

MARK IS LOST OR STOLEN.

AND SOMEONE OR FORM AND SHE'S LIKE ONES HERE WAS THERE WAS THERE THAT SHE HAD, THEN SHE'S LIKE NOBODY IS EVEN ASKING FOR THESE.

AND I THINK THAT REALLY ON IS THAT THERE'S A SYSTEMIC ISSUE THE SCHOOL DISTRICT, YOU KNOW, TO HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF COMPUTERS, A LOT OF IT USING FEDERAL COVID RELIEF MONEY ARMY DURING THE PANDEMIC AND DID NOT HAVE A GOOD SYSTEM IN PLACE FOR TRACKING THESE COMPUTERS.

I WROTE ABOUT THIS ACTUALLY LAST YEAR AND I'M NOT SURE THAT THEY'VE DONE ANYTHING SINCE BUT, YOU KNOW, NOT ONLY DO THEY DID NOT HAVE A GOOD SYSTEM FOR TRACKING COMPUTERS.

THEY DON'T HAVE PEOPLE IN SCHOOLS JOB.

IT IS TO KEEP INVENTORY OF COMPUTERS.

A LOT OF TIMES IT'S FALLING TO PRINCIPALS WHO HAVE 1000 OTHER THINGS TO DO.

THE PRINCIPLES ARE HIRING THIRD-PARTY VENDORS WHO DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING AND KNOW, YOU KNOW, THEY JUST COME IN AND MARK LOST OR STOLEN WITHOUT ASKING ANYBODY.

AND YOU TALK ABOUT SCHOOL SYSTEM THAT'S GOING, YOU KNOW, FACING A FISCAL CLIFF.

IS THIS LIKE SYSTEMIC MISMANAGEMENT HERE WHERE THERE'S JUST >> 10'S OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS?

IT'S JUST GOING TO COUNT IT FOR US.

THERE.

>> THINK I THINK THAT THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM.

AND IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT EVEN JUST TODAY, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF PEOPLE WORLDWIDE AND CHICAGO PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

GO TO REMOTE LEARNING LIKE A LOT OF SUBURBAN SCHOOLS DID REASON I THINK IT'S PARTLY THEY DO NOT KNOW WHERE THOSE COMPUTERS ARE IN.

IT'S REALLY ON THE SQUANDERING OF AN OPPORTUNITY BECAUSE YOU'RE HAVING DEVICES FOR EACH STUDENT IS SOMETHING THAT THE SCHOOL DISTRICT NEVER HAD BEFORE THE PANDEMIC.

AND REALLY THE COVID RELIEF MONEY GAVE THE SCHOOL DISTRICT OPPORTUNITY TO TO BUY ALL THESE COMPUTERS.

BUT YET.

YOU KNOW, THE SCHOOL SYSTEM JUST DID NOT HAVE A SYSTEM IN AND JUST DEVELOPING A SYSTEM TO TRACK AND TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY THEY KNOW WHERE THE COMPUTERS ARE.

CRAZY THING IS THAT THEY SPENT THEY SPENT 3 MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR PUTTING TRACKING SYSTEMS IN THESE COMPUTERS, BUT THEN THEY NEVER EVEN TOLD BY VENDORS ARE TOLD ANYBODY THAT THOSE TRACKING SYSTEMS WE'RE IN THE COMPUTERS.

SO THEY WERE USED AND THEY'VE ONLY FOUND 7 COMPUTERS USING THAT 3 MILLION DOLLAR TRACKING SYSTEM.

THERE ARE SO MANY CONTRACTS, YOU KNOW THAT THE CPS, BUT THAT'S FAIR.

YOU KNOW THIS BETTER THAN ANYTHING BECAUSE YOU BROKE THE WHOLE.

>> SOUPS PRINCIPAL TRAINING IT'S JUST LIKE 10'S AND TENS OF MILLIONS OF CONTRACTED CPS.

>> YOU TALK ABOUT SCHOOL SYSTEM.

THAT'S JUST A, YOU KNOW, BEREFT MONEY OR IS IS GOING TO BE SO UP TO KEEP FOLLOWING YOUR REPORTING ON THAT, MIKE MULLIGAN, THE BEARS A ANNOUNCED THAT THE COACH MATT DESPITE A 10 24 RECORD, HE'S THEIR FOR FOR NEXT YEAR IS JUST THE RIGHT MOVE.

>> NO, MEAN, WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, DEBORAH FLOWS, THANK YOU TO GET BETTER.

AND THEY STILL LOST 10 GAMES THIS YEAR.

THEY DO A REALLY GOOD JOB OF KIND EXPLAINING LOSING OR DEFENDING LOSING THE CALLS.

IT'S GREAT.

WE ALWAYS HEAR THE CULTURE IS SO GOOD THAT THEY HAD TO FIRE 2 COACHES DURING THE SEASON.

ONE GUY PRESSURE ABOUT AND ANOTHER GOT FIRED AND THEY THAT WAS EXAM AN EXAMPLE OF THEIR GREAT CULTURE CAN SAY HEALTH HELD EVERYONE ACCOUNTABLE.

WOULDN'T IT BE BETTER NOT TO HAVE PEOPLE LIKE THAT HIGHER?

IT IS I I GOT A LOT OF TIME FOR CLOSE.

I THOUGHT HE DID A REALLY GOOD JOB WHEN HE BECAME THE DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR AFTER THEY GOT MONTANA'S SWEAT AND THEY GOT BETTER ON DEFENSE WITHOUT DOUBT.

WHAT ARE WE CREDIT PEOPLE FOR OVERCOMING ADVERSITY THAT THEY CREATED LIKE HAVING TO FIRE COACHES LOSING THE FIRST 4 GAMES OF YEAR HAVING 3 DAYS THAT THEY HAD WON AND THEY SOMEHOW FIGURED OUT A WAY TO LOSE.

IF YOU COMBINED THE 3 GAMES THAT WERE OVER 90% LIKELY TO WIN.

98 ONE OF AND THEY LOST ALL 3, WHICH IS LIKE 0, 0, 3, 0, 0, CHANCE YOU COULD ACTUALLY LOSE THOSE GAMES OVER.

BOUNCE BACK.

LOSE LIKE THAT.

SO I FEEL LIKE THERE'S NO ACCOUNTABILITY.

THERE'S A LOT OF TRYING OPTIMISM, FADED FIRE, THE OFFENSIVE COACHES.

SO FIRED 7 COACHES.

NOW THEY'VE GOT I THINK THAT THEY'RE GOING TO GIVE A NEW OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR TO WORK WITH THE QUARTERBACK.

PRESUMABLY THEY TRAFFIC.

THEY HAVE THE NUMBER ONE OVERALL SO THEY'RE GETTING ONCE AGAIN, THE KIND CHAOS BEHIND THE THE CART.

YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

LIKE YOU WANT THIS TO SINK SO THAT YOUR COACH IS GOING TO WORK WITH THE QUARTERBACK FOR YEARS.

TRUMP?

WHAT ARE THEY DOING?

WHAT THEY FIRED THE COACH NEXT YEAR THAN THE KIND OF ON THIS PATTERN WHERE ANOTHER GUY'S BROUGHT IN TO WORK WITH SOMEONE THAT WAS BROUGHT IT SEEMS LIKE WE IT SEEMS THAT WE'VE BEEN GOING THROUGH THIS SINCE LIKE ERIK KRAMER.

YOU KNOW, 35 YEARS AGO.

SO WHEN YOU HEAR THE GENERAL MANAGER RYAN POLES SAY, YOU KNOW ABOUT JUSTIN FIELDS, A LOT TO BLOWN AWAY BY SOMEONE IN THE DRAFT.

>> TO MOVE ON FROM JUSTIN FEEL THAT DO THINK ONE OF PROSPECTS, CALEB WILLIAMS, INJURE OR DRAKE MAYE ARE GOING TO BLOW RYAN POLES AWAY ENOUGH.

THAT FIELD HAS GONE ESSENTIALLY.

>> I THINK OF CALEB WILLIAMS WAS IN LAST YEAR'S DRAFT.

EITHER BEEN THE NUMBER ONE PICK SO HE DIDN'T HAVE AS GOOD A SEASON.

HE WAS COMING OFF HEISMAN A YEAR AGO, BUT I THINK HE WOULD HAVE BEEN THE BEST PLAYER IN THAT DRAFT.

IT WOULD HAVE BEEN THE NUMBER ONE OVERALL PICK.

AND THAT'S THE CASE, WHY WOULD YOU CHANGE?

HE TALKED ABOUT GETTING TO KNOW THE HUMAN.

COULD YOU KNOW, A LOT OF WHAT HE SAYS ABOUT JUSTIN FIELDS IS ACCURATE LIKE YOUR LOVE, HIS INTANGIBLES.

HE'S A GOOD LEADER.

THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS YOU REALLY HE'S MORE OF A WILD PLAY GUY.

>> JAMIE IS A CONSISTENT SO YOU MAKE THESE PLAYS THAT NO ONE ELSE CAN MAKE IT.

BUT HE CONSISTENTLY MARCHING DOWN THE FIELD.

IT WOULD BE MORE LIKE HIGHLIGHT REAL STUFF THAT ACTUAL NFL OFFENSIVE.

THE THINKING IS THAT CALEB WILLIAMS WILL NOT IDEAL HIS SIDE'S.

HE IS GOOD TO THE A GENERATIONAL TALENT AT THE POSITION.

SEEMS LIKE FIELDS THAT IN THE 4TH QUARTER THAT JUST THOSE GAME WINNING DRIVE SAID THAT HE PUT TOGETHER.

>> AT KEVIN WARREN'S COMMENTS ABOUT LOVING THE CITY.

WHEN ASKED ABOUT A STADIUM, IS THAT REAL MOMENTUM FOR A CITY STADIUM OR JUST PUT THE SQUEEZE ON ARLINGTON HEIGHTS.

>> WELL, I THINK THEY STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH FAIRLY TONIGHT'S THAT THEY'VE HAD.

AND THEY THOUGHT THAT FLIRTING AROUND WHAT CHANGED THAT.

YOU KNOW, THE LAND IS STILL VALUABLE.

SOMETHING LIKE THEY'VE LOST MONEY FIGHT BUYING EARLY TO PARK.

BUT I THINK THAT ULTIMATELY IT'S WHERE THEY WILL WIND UP, FRANKLY, JUST TALKING TO DIFFERENT PEOPLE AROUND.

YOU KNOW, PEOPLE THAT KNOW HOW TO PUT THE BUILDING TOGETHER TOUGH.

A LOT OF MOVING BACK DOWNTOWN IS PIE IN THE SKY STUFF.

I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT HAVE BEEN JUST SAYING A LOT POSITIVE THINGS ABOUT THE CITY THAT EVERYBODY WILL LOVE.

BUT I DON'T KNOW IT'S GOT ANY LEGS.

WHAT DO YOU THINK, GREG IS THERE ANY MOVEMENT FROM THE JOHNSON ADMINISTRATION TRULY LOWER THEM?

I MEAN >> THIS THE NOTION THAT THEY'RE LOOKING AT THE SOUTH LAWN OF SOLDIER FIELD FOR A NEW STADIUM.

>> I MEAN, IT SOUNDS NICE.

IT SOUNDS VERY NICE.

AND THEY ALL THEY ALL SAY THAT.

BUT I AGREE WITH MOLLY.

SKEPTICAL OF THAT.

AND THEN YOU HAVE THE THE REALITY IS.

I MEAN, THE BEARS ARE KIND THEY'RE NOT THE EXCELLENT FRANCHISE IN THE WORLD RIGHT THERE.

THEY'RE THEY'RE TROUBLED ORGANIZATION.

AND SO THAT'S WHY THEY HAVE.

>> THEY'RE STRUGGLING IN ARLINGTON HEIGHTS.

IT'S HIM.

IT'S REALLY HARD TO IMAGINE HOW THEY CAN GET IT TOGETHER TO DO SOMETHING DOWNTOWN, WHICH IS PROBABLY GOING TO BE EVEN HARDER THAN ON THE LAND.

THEY CONTROL.

>> I HAVE A LOT SKEPTICISM AND I'M TRYING TO BE DIPLOMATIC SKEPTICISM, STEVE, YOU HAVE TO BE DIPLOMATIC.

YOU'RE ON THE EDITORIAL BOARD.

THAT'S YEAH.

THAT'S RIGHT.

NEVER WAS DIPLOMATIC ANYWAY.

>> YEAH.

THE I THINK.

>> THE THE PROBLEM FOR THE BEAR, ONE OF THE PROBLEMS FOR THE BEARS IS THAT THE APPETITE OR THE WILLINGNESS TO DO PUBLICLY FINANCED STADIUMS ANYMORE IS REALLY, REALLY LESS THAN WHAT IT WHAT IT WAS YEARS AGO.

AND THEY KEEP LOOKING FOR SOME KIND OF DEALS AND SOME KIND OF WEDGE, SOME SORT OF, YOU KNOW, AND AND NOBODY'S REALLY VERY EXCITED TO OFFER THE I'M NOT SURE IT'S BECAUSE THE TEAM IS PERFORMING POORLY.

THE BEARS ARE A VALUABLE FRANCHISE.

AND AND THERE ARE REAL ASSET TO THE CITY REGARDLESS OF HOW THEY DO ON THE FIELD.

BUT I JUST THINK THAT IS THE WINDS OF OF PUBLIC FINANCING OF STADIUMS ARE AGAINST THEM.

ALL RIGHT.

WELL, THE OVER CHICAGO ARE BLOWING THIS WEEKEND.

WE'RE GLAD THAT.

>> YOU ALL MADE IT HERE.

WE'RE GLAD THAT YOU JOINED US VIA ZOOM, BUT WE ARE OUT OF TIME.

HOPE CLOSER TO 6, BUT IT COULD EASILY BE LONG THE HE'S THE YOUNGEST NHL ALL-STAR EVER.

ANY BE ABLE TO PLAY IS THAT WASN'T A DIRTY HIT.

IT WASN'T.
