>>> THANKS FOR JOINING US ON THE WE CAN REVIEW.

THE CITY PREPARES FOR A CHANGING OF THE GUARD.

>> IT SHOULDN'T HAVE TO COME TO THIS POINT.

BUT HERE WE ARE.

AND EVEN IN MY FINAL DAYS AS MAYOR -- AND RESPOND TO THIS CRISIS.

>> CONTROVERSY AND A LACK OF COORDINATION, THE CITY'S RESPONSE TO AN INFLUX OF MIGRANTS RESPONDING BY THE BUSLOAD EVERY DAY.

-- AS HE PREPARES TO TAKE OVER ON MONDAY.

MEANWHILE, JOHNSON ANNOUNCES MORE KEY MEMBERS OF HIS ADMINISTRATION.

>> EVERYONE KEEPS THIS OFFICER AND ALL OF THE RESPONDING OFFICERS THAT DAY IN YOUR PRAYERS.

>>> FOUR TEENAGERS ARE CHARGED WITH MURDER IN THE HORRIFIC SLAYING OF A CHICAGO POLICE OFFICER JUST DAYS AWAY FROM RECEIVING HER GRADUATING DEGREE.

>>> IN SPORTS THE BLACKHAWKS GET A SEASON TICKET AFTER WINNING THE CONNOR BEDARD SWEEPSTAKES, LANDING A TOP HIT IN THE NHL DRAFT.

TO TALK ABOUT ALL THAT AND MORE, GREG HINES.

-- WT TW NEWS.

-- OF THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE AS WELL.

WE HAVE ALL SEEN THE IMAGES -- ON THE FORCE OF PLAY STATIONS.

-- >> THEY ARE SLEEPING ON FLOORS.

THEY DON'T HAVE PROTOCOL FOR THEM RIGHT NOW.

THEY ARE CONFUSED.

THEY ARE CONFUSED AS TO WHAT THEY CAN DO NEXT.

FOR SO LONG THEY WERE UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT SOMEONE WAS GOING TO COME .

AND THERE IS NO ONE ANYMORE.

>> IT SEEMS LIKE A COUPLE OF OFFICIALS RECOGNIZE -- THE CITY SAYING THEY ARE NOT COORDINATED WITH THE STATE OR THE CITY OR THE COUNTY.

WHO WAS IN CHARGE?

-- AT ITS BEST.

>> THERE IS A PROBLEM IN WASHINGTON WHERE BIDEN DOESN'T SEEM TO KNOW WHAT HE WANTS TO DO WITH THE BORDER.

SPRINGFIELD COULD COME UP WITH MORE MONEY.

LORI LIGHTFOOT SHOULD HAVE BEEN PREPARED .

ONE OF THE BEST STORIES I'VE HEARD ALL WEEK IS THAT THERE IS $30 MILLION IN MONEY SITTING DOWN IN SPRINGFIELD.

WE NEED THE MONEY.

AFTER 2.5 MONTHS THEY STILL HAVEN'T PUT IN THE PAPERWORK.

THAT IS THE KIND OF STUFF I HEAR GOING ON.

I GO BY THE POLICE STATION EVERY NIGHT.

-- A LITTLE THREE-YEAR-OLD RUNNING AROUND.

>> THERE HAVE BEEN MAKESHIFT SHELTERS DOWNTOWN.

I BELIEVE THE OLD CENTER CLUB HAS OPENED UP.

-- THEY ARE TRYING TO FIGHT AGAINST MIGRANTS COMING TO THE SOUTH SHORE HIGH SCHOOL.

HOW IS THAT SITUATION GOING TO BE RESOLVED?

>> IT'S GOING TO BE REALLY DIFFICULT.

THERE ARE TWO THINGS -- HELPING THESE PEOPLE.

ONE, A LACK OF MONEY.

TWO, A LACK OF ADEQUATE SPACE.

WE HAVE HEARD FROM -- THAT HE HAS BEEN OUT OF THE PARK TO MOVE IN MIGRANTS TO HOUSE THEM, WHICH IS THE KIND OF SOLUTION THAT I THINK THE CITY IS NOW CONFRONTED WITH.

THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE A SERIES OF CASCADING EFFECTS BECAUSE YOU WILL HAVE CLASSES THAT ARE MOVED AND OTHER PEOPLE -- SO IT'S REALLY GOING TO TAKE -- I DON'T THINK THERE IS ANY DOUBT THAT THERE IS A WHOLE CITY APPROACH TO IT.

AS YOU SAID, THIS IS A TRANSITION WEEKEND.

THE 66 THE MAYOR WILL GIVE WAY TO THE 67th MAYOR AND THIS IS AT THE TOP OF THE TO DO LIST -- THIRD-LARGEST CITY.

>> HAVE YOU HEARD ANYTHING FROM JOHNSON ABOUT WHAT HIS PLAN WOULD BE?

THEY ARE SAYING THEY WANT TO LISTEN TO THE COMMUNITY.

BUT ALSO TAKE CARE OF THE FOLKS COMING HERE.

>> THIS IS SOMETHING THAT HE IS PARTICULARLY -- WHAT I FIND INTERESTING -- THE CRISIS GOING ON IN NEW YORK.

-- MAYOR ADAMS ISN'T SHIFTING TO ORANGE COUNTY IN THAT STATE.

WHETHER THAT IS AN OPTION HERE -- DON'T WANT THAT TO HAPPEN.

>> ARE YOU HEARING ANYTHING ABOUT ANY SORT OF -- >> I THINK THAT'S WHERE THE SOLUTION IS RIGHT NOW.

BECAUSE OF THE TRANSITION -- ANYTHING CLEAR OVER HOW THEY WORK WITH THE CITY AND THE STATE.

IN THE BEGINNING, IN AUGUST, WE HEARD HOW FAMILIES WERE BEING -- TO HOTELS.

THEY HAD THE PROTOCOL GOING ON.

I AM UNSURE.

IT'S UNCLEAR HOW THE CITY AND MAYOR ARE WORKING TOGETHER TO ADDRESS THIS.

>> -- FROM THE UNUSED BEDS FROM THE HOSPITAL THAT WAS BUILT DURING COVID.

-- WERE TRANSFERRED FOR MIGRANTS TO SLEEP ON.

[ INADAUDIBLE ] >> -- WE'LL HAVE ANY CRISIS HERE IN MY WORK.

-- ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU WANT TO USE THIS HIGH SCHOOL TO -- THEY HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING.

THERE IS A LOT OF INSENSITIVITY AROUND.

I THINK MAYOR JOHNSON IS GOING TO HAVE A LITTLE DIFFICULT OF A PLANK TO WALK HERE.

-- >> THERE ARE PROGRESSIVES THAT ARE BLACK, WHITE, AND LATINO.

-- ANYTHING ABOUT THE SPECIFIC PLANS HE ROLLS OUT.

-- >> HE DID NOT ENDORSE OR REJECT PLANS TO HOUSE THE IMMIGRANTS AT SOUTH SHORE HIGH SCHOOL.

HE SAID HE WANTS TO COLLABORATE, HE WANTS TO BRING IN EVERYBODY TO THE TABLE.

THERE ARE A LOT OF SAD AND TERRIBLE THINGS ABOUT THE -- THE STATUS IS THE INCREASE -- BLACK COMMUNITY AND CHICAGO'S LATINO COMMUNITY.

THIS SORT OF NOTION THAT IT IS AVAILABLE, AND THEY ARE FIGHTING FOR THOSE SCRAPS, -- IN THAT NOTION.

HE IS GOING TO BE CONFRONTED WITH EXACTLY THAT PROBLEM.

PEOPLE FEEL INCORRECTLY OR CORRECTLY UNDER THREAT WERE IN DANGER.

MANY PEOPLE ARE COMING TO CHICAGO AS A SANCTUARY CITY.

THEY ARE -- >> THEY ARE COMING TO CHICAGO BECAUSE THE GOVERNOR OF TEXAS, GREG ABBOTT.

HE IS SAYING, YOU DEAL WITH THEM.

-- NEXT SEVERAL DAYS AND WEEKS?

>> YES.

I THINK -- GROUPS OF MIGRANTS COMING HERE BY THEMSELVES.

THERE ARE SEVERAL ACTIVISTS HOUSING THEM .

WHAT HAPPENED FOR A WHILE IS -- IN CHICAGO THEY WILL GET SOME SORT OF HELP TO GET STARTED.

THEY ARE NO LONGER COMING ON BUSES OR -- ON THEIR OWN.

THEY ARE MEETING PEOPLE.

THERE HAS BEEN ANGER WITHIN THE ASYLUM SEEKING COMMUNITY.

SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE NOT MOVED OUT OF THOSE SHELTERS.

-- FROM THE BEGINNING.

>> WE HAVE -- CATHOLIC CHARITIES -- ARE THEY ABLE TO PICK UP THE SLACK RIGHT NOW?

>> I DON'T THINK SO.

[ INAUDIBLE ] >> I THINK LIGHTFOOT DID MENTION IT.

SHE SAID, WE NEED WASHINGTON TO -- DO WE NEED MORE MONEY TO CREATE SHELTERS FOR THESE PEOPLE -- POLICY CHANGES.

>> SPEAKING OF POLICY, -- JOE BIDEN DOESN'T WANT TO -- IF HE WERE TO -- ADMINISTRATIVELY PASS A LAW -- [ INAUDIBLE ] >> PEOPLE IN THE SERVICE SECTOR BEGGING FOR WORKERS.

SOMETIMES THOSE THINGS DON'T GO HAND-IN-HAND.

-- GOVERNOR SIGNED A LOT TO COVER CERTAIN UNDOCUMENTED RESIDENTS OVER -- BUDGETED FOR ABOUT $200 MILLION.

-- BIG CHUNK OF THE BUDGET.

>> WE TALK ABOUT HUMANS HERE AGAIN .

[ INAUDIBLE ] A LOT OF THESE PEOPLE ARE COMING IN FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME -- THE BURDEN WILL BE LESS.

-- JUST LIKE THE ASYLUM-SEEKERS.

WE ARE TALKING ABOUT 9000.

-- WE DON'T KNOW IF THE CITY IS KEEPING TRACK.

IT'S NOT LIKE THEY COME IN AND SIGN UP -- THE UNDOCUMENTED COMMUNITY HAS HISTORICALLY BEEN -- >> NONE OF THIS IS MAYOR LIGHTFOOT'S PROBLEM ANYMORE.

WE HAVE SOME VIDEO OF HER LEAVING ON HER FINAL DAY TODAY, GETTING -- WITH HER WIFE , AMY.

SHE SPOKE TO HER LEGACY SAYING, THERE WAS HOPE.

SHE NEVER GAVE UP HOPE .

WHAT IS HER LEGACY -- RIGHT NOW?

>> SHE WILL BE REMEMBERED FOR HER ARGUMENTATIVE -- THE WHOLE HAIRCUT ISSUE DURING THE PANDEMIC.

SHE DID A LOT THAT YOU CAN PRAISE.

-- AND WESTSIDE .

TRYING TO GET COMMUNITIES OF COLOR BACK ON THEIR FEET THAT HAVE BEEN NEGLECTED.

>> NO DOUBT ABOUT THAT.

I JUST HAD TO COMMENT ON -- SHE NEEDS ONE OF THOSE CIGARETTE HOLDERS.

HEATHER -- AS A PARTING GIFT SHE ISSUED ALL OF THESE EXECUTIVE ORDERS.

>> IT IS HER ATTEMPT , PERHAPS, AT THE VERY LAST MINUTE TO SHAPE WHAT HER LEGACY WILL BE.

-- TO TALK ABOUT HER LEGACY.

-- [ INAUDIBLE ] OR WHAT SHE HOPES BRANDON JOHNSON WILL NOT UNDO.

THE ISSUE IS THIS IS AN UNPRECEDENTED AUTHORITY BY THE MAYOR.

THE LAST EXECUTIVE ORDER ISSUED -- 14 TOTAL IN THE LAST WEEK.

IT IS PRETTY SIGNIFICANT.

I THINK IT SHOWS THAT SHE FEELS THAT SHE IS NOT DONE.

-- THAT PLAN HAS NOT FLOURED OR GROWN -- [ INAUDIBLE ] HE WOULD REVIEW EACH OF THEM AND TAKE THEM ONE BY ONE.

WITH A STROKE OF THE PEN HE CAN UNDO ALL OF IT.

>> [ INAUDIBLE ] ALL OF A SUDDEN TODAY BRANDON COMES OUT WITH HIS SELECTION -- [ INAUDIBLE ] >> THIS GUY IS VERY MUCH A POLITICIAN AND THIS IS THE KIND OF THING MAYORS WOULD DO.

-- A CAREFUL MIX OF THE CHIEF OF STAFF -- [ INAUDIBLE ] IT'S AN INTERESTING MIX.

THE KIND OF THING YOU DIDN'T SEE FROM LIGHTFOOT.

>> -- THE CHIEF OF STAFF FROM THE ADMINISTRATION -- WE TALK ABOUT [ INAUDIBLE ]THE PEOPLE THAT JOHNSON WANTS -- WE DON'T KNOW WHAT SOME OF THESE COMMITTEES DO.

-- THE BUDGET COMMITTEE AND SO ON.

[ INAUDIBLE ] -- [ INAUDIBLE ] >> THAT IS WHAT GREG IS TALKING ABOUT -- FROM THE MAYOR ELECT.

HE IS SAYING, LOOK, -- WE CAN WORK TOGETHER AND HELP EACH OTHER.

[ INAUDIBLE ] INVESTED IN KEEPING CRIME UNDER CONTROL -- LIGHTFOOT CHOSE SO OFTEN -- JOHNSON ARE NOW PULLING IN -- >> IF IT DOESN'T WORK, IT'S YOUR FAULT.

>> ALSO -- COMMITTEE POSITION.

-- >> THAT DIRECTION -- RESTORATIVE JUSTICE -- THIS IS GOING TO BE A WORK IN PROGRESS.

HE HAS GOT TO GET READY FOR WHAT IS GOING TO BE A VERY HOT SUMMER.

-- IMMIGRATION CRISIS.

-- FIRST CITY BUDGET.

THAT KIND OF EXPLAINS WHY HE IS CAREFULLY PICKING -- [ INAUDIBLE ] >> HE HAD 41 DAYS TO TRANSITION INTO OFFICE -- FOR HIS AGENDA.

IN CHICAGO HISTORY.

IT WOULD STILL BE RUN BY LIGHTFOOT'S APPOINTMENTS -- CORRECT.

>> HE SAID HE WOULD WANT TO GET RID OF -- BECAUSE OF THE -- HE WANTS TO REOPEN THE MENTAL HEALTH CLINIC.

>> I ASKED HIM THAT DIRECTLY.

-- PUBLIC HEALTH CLINIC.

[ INAUDIBLE ] AND THEN BRING IN HER REPLACEMENT.

>> WE WILL -- SHOOTING OF THE CHICAGO POLICE OFFICER -- FOUR TEENAGERS TAKEN INTO CUSTODY FOR MURDER.

>> THIS IS KIND OF AN X ESSENTIAL QUESTION.

WHY ARE FOUR TEENS TARGETING A POLICE OFFICER?

-- >> THIS OFFICER HAS TO LOSE HER LIFE.

[ INAUDIBLE ] >> THIS IS GOING TO BE ONE OF THE ISSUES WITH BRANDON JOHNSON.

PEOPLE THINK THEY CAN -- NOT JUST FROM WHOEVER HE APPOINTS.

GETTING IN THE GROUND AND -- >> SHE HAD LAID THERE FOR SOMETHING LIKE 30 MINUTES -- IS THERE MORE TO INVESTIGATE?

>> YES.

-- WHY IT TOOK 30 MINUTES FOR AN OFFICER TO RESPOND TO AN ALERT -- GUNFIRE IN THAT LOCATION.

IT IS NOT CLEAR WHY THAT TOOK SO LONG.

WE DID HEAR THAT SHE DIED ALMOST INSTANTANEOUSLY .

IT WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE TO SAVE HER.

HOWEVER, IF YOU ARE GOING TO -- [ INAUDIBLE ] >> A LOT OF FOLKS WANT TO GET RID OF THAT SYSTEM ANYWAY.

-- KIDS WERE CAUGHT BECAUSE A -- THAT'S WHAT THE CITY NEEDS.

WE'VE GOT TO HAVE PEOPLE COOPERATING WITH POLICE -- BETTER OFF.

>> PEOPLE NEED TO COOPERATE WITH THE POLICE, THAT IS WHY SOME OF THESE MURDERS DO NOT GET SOLVED.

-- >>> THE SILVER LINING FOR BLACKHAWKS FAN.

IS CONNOR THE SAVIOR OF THE ORGANIZATION?

>> LET'S NOT CALL HIM THE SAVIOR YET.

-- >> THAT'S A LOT ON HIS SHOULDERS.

>> THAT IS A LOT ON -- CHICAGO.

-- GENERATIONAL TALENT.

-- BEN CROSBY.

WE HAVE BEEN TALKING TO A BUNCH OF PEOPLE IN HOCKEY.

-- THEY SEE PIECES OF IN THIS KID.

FOR THE MOST PART IT IS -- [ INAUDIBLE ] HE MIGHT EVEN BE A BETTER SCORER THAN PATRICK KANE.

>> IS HE ENOUGH -- LIKE OX OUT OF THE BASEMENT?

INAUDIBLE ] -- >> IT'S ONLY GOING TO GET BETTER -- PATRICK KANE.

ALL OF THAT IS GOING TO COME TO BEAR NOW WITH HOW HE IS GOING TO BE ABLE TO MANEUVER AND -- WHEN ALL THESE KIDS GROW UP YOU MIGHT SEE A NEW DYNASTY.

>> WHAT ABOUT THE CHICAGO BEARS?

THERE IS A LOT OF YOUNG TALENT WITH THESE PICS PANNING OUT THE WAY THAT GENERAL MANAGER RYAN -- >> CARTER.

-- THE OFFENSIVE LINEMAN.

HE IS A MAULER.

-- VERY WELL PUT.

IF YOU WANT TO DO THAT IT TO BETTER PAN OUT.

THE ENTIRETY OF HIS CAREER IS GOING TO BE COMPARED TO CARTER.

-- THAT'S TRUE.

-- BEING OUT OF SHAPE, BEING OVERWEIGHT.

-- COMMITMENT TO FOOTBALL.

IF DARNELL IS HARD-CORE -- ON THE OFFENSIVE LINE.

>> WE WILL KNOW RIGHT AWAY.

>> OPENING NIGHT.

-- [ INAUDIBLE ] >> THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR JOINING US.

THAT IS OUR SHOW FOR THIS FRIDAY NIGHT.

-- THANKS FOR WATCHING.

STAY HEALTHY.

TUNE IN TONIGHT AT 10:00.

-- THEY WOULD HAVE TO TURN AROUND HAVE A CHANCE.

>> I DON'T KNOW THAT THEY CAN.
