>> THANKS FOR JOINING US ON THE WEEKEND OF YOU.

I'M PARIS SCHUTZ QUESTIONS OF TRANSPARENCY AND SAFETY AFTER WTW NEWS REPORT EXPOSES THAT THE JOHNSON ADMINISTRATION'S EARLY KNOWLEDGE PROBLEMS AT WILSON MIGRANT SHELTER.

>> WHEN E-MAILS EVERY REDACTED, YOU KNOW, OF COURSE, YOU KNOW, CONCERN IMPRESSION OF NOTE, WE NEED TO SHARE THAT INFORMATION.

>> SEWAGE ILLNESS OUTBREAK COCKROACH INFESTATION W T TW UNCOVERS EMAIL SHOWING JOHNSON ADMINISTRATION OFFICIALS WERE MADE AWARE IN OCTOBER UNSANITARY CONDITIONS AT A CROWDED HILLS AND MIGRANT SHELTER.

THAT'S WHERE 5 YEAR-OLD JOHN CARLOS MARTINEZ FELL ILL. AND LATER DIED.

THIS COMES AS MIGRANTS AND ALL OF CHICAGO BRAVED BITTER COLD TEMPERATURES THIS WEEK HILCO AGREES TO PAY 12 MILLION DOLLARS TO SETTLE CLAIMS FOLLOWING ITS BOTCHED SMOKESTACK DEMOLITION IN LITTLE VILLAGE.

IN NATIONAL POLITICS.

REPUBLICAN FRONT RUNNER DONALD TRUMP EASILY WINS IOWA CAUCUS DESPITE 91 CRIMINAL INDICTMENTS AND HIS FAVORITE TO WIN NEW HAMPSHIRE AND IN SPORTS, THE SUN-TIMES REPORTS THE SOX ARE SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING A NEW STADIUM ON THE PARCEL OF LAND KNOWN AS THE 78.

>> GET TO ALL OF THAT NOW TO OUR WEEK IN REVIEW PANEL.

JOINING US ARE MADISON'S OF AGE OF FROM BLOCK CLUB.

CHICAGO.

SHE CAPUS FROM POLITICO, CHRIS JONES FROM THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE AND JOINING US VIA ZOOM FROM WASHINGTON, D.C., LYNN SWEET OF THE CHICAGO SUN-TIMES.

WELCOME TO ALL OF YOU NEAR AND FAR.

LET'S GET RIGHT INTO A CHRIS JONES, THE JOHNSON ADMINISTRATION THERE WARN OF THESE CONDITIONS IN LATE OCTOBER, THEY READ ACTED THE EMAILS EXPLAINING THESE CONDITIONS.

WHEN WE ASKED FOR THEM, THINK FOLLOWED HERE IS FOR THE JOHNSON ADMINISTRATION.

WELL, I THINK IT'S ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF A LACK OF TRANSPARENCY AND THERE'S NO RATIONALE FOR HAVING THAT LACK.

>> WHEN IT COMES TO LOOKING AFTER PEOPLE WHO ARE IN DIFFICULT CIRCUMSTANCES, THEY SHOULD BE OPEN ABOUT WHAT THEY'RE DOING.

THEY SHOULD BE TRANSPARENT ABOUT WHAT THEY'RE DOING.

I THINK THEY SHOULD INVITE CAMERAS INTO THE MIGRANT FACILITIES AND WE SHOULD THAT SHOULD YOU KNOW, IF YOU REMEMBER IN THE COVID ERA WHEN THE GOVERNOR UP THAT TEMPER HOSPITAL MCCORMICK PLACE IN CAME THE CAMERAS, EVERYONE COULD SEE THE SET UP.

I DON'T SEE WHY THE MIGRANT FACILITIES SHOULD BE ANY DIFFERENT FROM THAT.

AND LOTS OF STORIES.

LOTS OF ANECDOTAL STORIES, LOTS OF VIDEOS FROM INSIDE OF UNSANITARY CONDITIONS.

THEIR STATEMENT THIS WEEK AFTER WE RAN OUR STORY MEDICINE WAS THAT THEY TOOK STEPS WHEN THEY HEARD ABOUT THESE THINGS LIKE THEY REMOVED COTS AWAY FROM THE SEWERS.

THEY CLEAN UP THE RAW SEWAGE.

THEY HAD.

>> THEY THEY HAD THE INSECTS.

WHAT THEY HAVE THE EXTERMINATOR COME EVERY WEEK.

DOES THAT SOUND LAKE?

A LITTLE SITUATION TO YOU?

>> I DON'T KNOW IF IT DOES.

AND I THINK ONE PIECE TO REALLY HIGHLIGHT HERE IS THAT BACK IN OCTOBER, WHEN THESE EMAILS, YOU KNOW, WE'RE EXCHANGE BETWEEN CITY OFFICIALS.

THERE ARE ONLY ABOUT 1500 PEOPLE STAYING AT PILSEN SHELTER.

THE NUMBER HAS BLUES.

THERE'S OVER.

2500 PEOPLE IN THAT SHELTER.

NOW.

AND, YOU KNOW, AROUND THE TIME WHERE JEAN CARLOS TRAGICALLY DIED IN THAT SHELTER.

SO I WOULD GUESS THAT WHAT WAS DONE, YOU KNOW, WHETHER OR NOT IT WAS UP TO SCALE FOR 1500 PEOPLE.

I DON'T KNOW IF THEY SCALE BUT UP TO DEAL WITH PROBLEMS THAT PROBABLY COME WITH HAVING ADDITIONAL 1000 PEOPLE STAYING IN THIS FACILITY THAT'S MEANT TO HOUSE PEOPLE OVER.

2500, WE SHOULD MENTION, WE DON'T KNOW WITH THE MEDICAL EXAMINER'S NOT ISSUE THE CAUSE OF DEATH FOR CARLOS YET.

>> ALSO, I MEAN, THERE BEEN MANY ILLNESSES IN CHILDREN TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL RESPIRATORY PROBLEMS SINCE THAT SHELTER OPEN.

SHE ACCOMPLICE.

>> WE'LL LET YOU KNOW THE MEN MET THIS WEEK TO ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT SOME OF THEM TELL ME THEY WERE IN THE DARK, TOO.

ALTHOUGH FOLKS HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT CONDITIONS AT THE SHELTERS FOR A WHILE.

>> EVERYBODY'S TALKING ABOUT THE CONDITIONS AT THE SHELTER.

THE CITY DOESN'T HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO MAKE.

>> TO MAKE IT ALL WORK.

THEY KNOW IT COSTS 40 MILLION DOLLARS A MONTH TO KEEP ALL THE SHELTERS OPEN AND THEY STILL DON'T HAVE ENOUGH ROOM FOR EVERYBODY TO COME IN.

AND NOW KNOWING THAT THE MONEY COULD BE RUNNING OUT THERE.

I DON'T KNOW.

THAT MEAN THEY'RE CUTTING CORNERS THIS AT WHY SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAPPEN?

I DON'T KNOW.

THAT'S WHY THEY'RE LOOKING TO THE STATE LEGISLATURE.

BUT YOU HAVE A STATE LEGISLATURE WHO SAYING, HEY, YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO FIGURE THIS OUT IN YOUR BUDGET.

WE DON'T KNOW THAT WE WANT TO FIGURE IT OUT IN OUR BUDGET THERE.

GOVERNOR PRITZKER HAS PLEDGED MONEY.

LYNN SWEET.

WE KNOW THERE'S REALLY NO.

>> FEDERAL IN THE TIME BEING FOR THIS SITUATION.

BUT AGAIN, WHEN YOU LOOK AT HOW THE JOHNSON MISSED A STATION HANDLE THIS INITIALLY REDACTING ALL OF THAT INFORMATION AS THEIR QUESTIONS ABOUT TRANSPARENCY HERE WITH THE WAY THEY'RE RUNNING THINGS.

>> I THINK THE LARGER QUESTION IS THE WAY THE RUNNING THING.

AND REPORTERS, I KNOW WE LIKE TRANSPARENCY.

SO NUMBER REPORTER SHOULD BE LET INTO THE FACILITIES.

IF YOU HAVE TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT, SO BE IT.

IF YOU NEED TO BE ACCOMPANIED BY SOMEONE NBA.

SO IF SHOULDN'T BE DEPENDENT OR NOT GOOD FOR YOU AND EMAIL, SO I WOULD SAY LET'S BE DISTRACTED ABOUT THAT.

THERE'S BIGGER THINGS HERE ABOUT WHY EVEN WITH THE EXISTING SET UP, WHOEVER IS DEFENDER, WHO HAS THE CONTRACT TO RUN THE SHELTER, LET THESE ARE CONDITIONS PREVAIL.

SO I WANT TO KEEP OUR EYE ON THE BALL HERE.

>> AND THAT WHAT THAT VENDORS FAVORITE STAFFING.

BUT WHAT THEY'VE TOLD ME IS THAT THEY'RE JUST IN CHARGE THE STAFF MEMBERS THERE THAT ARE WORKING THERE WITH THE MIGRANTS.

THERE'S ALSO THE LANDLORD OF THE BUILDING THAT LANDLORD BOUGHT THAT BUILDING BACK IN AUGUST.

I DON'T KNOW EITHER WITH OR WITHOUT THE KNOWLEDGE THAT THE CITY WAS GOING TO USE THIS.

BUT IF YOU HEARD STORIES OF 28 SHELTERS HAVING THESE KINDS OF ISSUES.

>> MAYBE NOT TO THE EXACT SCALE, BUT ABSOLUTELY THERE HAVE BEEN COMPLAINTS AND CONCERNS ABOUT SANITARY CONDITIONS ARE HUMANE CONDITIONS THROUGHOUT ALL OF 2023.

ACROSS THE CITY FROM MANY DIFFERENT PEOPLE I TALKED TO, THERE'S BEEN LOTS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT FOOD EITHER NOT BEING ENOUGH FOOD OR THE FOOD THEY'RE GETTING IS REALLY NOT UP TO.

YOU KNOW, COMPLAINTS ABOUT, I GUESS, YOU KNOW, AT THE TIME IT WAS LIKE TOO HOT IN THERE.

NOW IT'S TOO COLD, WHICH MAKES SENSE.

WE LIVE IN A CITY THAT HAS EXTREME HEAT SOME OLD BUILDINGS, ASIAN UNAWARE HOW EXACTLY EXACTLY SO THINGS WITH ONE BIG COMPLAINT HEARD FROM VOLUNTEERS AND, YOU KNOW, MUTUAL AID WORKERS HAVE BEEN ON THE FRONT LINES OF MIGRANTS IS THAT THEY HAVE BEEN SHUT OUT FROM SHELTERS AND FROM THESE RELATIONSHIPS WITH MIGRANTS THE ENTIRE TIME.

SO, YOU KNOW, WE'RE ASKING THESE QUESTIONS ABOUT TRANSPARENCY THAT CERTAINLY COMES TO MIND.

ONE.

THAT'S AN INTERESTING MIGRANTS.

YOU KNOW, PART OF THESE E-MAILS THAT TALKED ABOUT THE COMPLAINTS OF MIGRANTS HAVE PROBLEMS.

THEY HAVE TO SCAN A QR WITH THE COMPLAINT.

IT JUST SEEMS LIKE.

>> IT'S KIND OF A STRANGE PROCESS OF ACCOUNTABILITY HERE OF OF.

OF WHO'S IN CHARGE OF MAKING SURE THE CONDITIONS ARE LIVABLE.

WELL, I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY THE IT WAS DONE UNDER DURESS.

MADISON'S POINTS A VERY GOOD THAT IT WAS DESIGNED FOR FAR FEWER PEOPLE.

>> THAT IS NOW THE CASE.

SOMETHING AKIN TO PRISON CONDITIONS WAY HAVE A LOT OF PRISONS THAT HOUSE FILE MORE PRISONERS THAN THE FACILITIES DESIGNED FOR, BUT IT IS OBVIOUSLY A VERY GRIM SITUATION FOR THESE MIGRANTS.

AND IT'S ALSO POTENTIALLY A LEGAL LIABILITY ISSUE FOR THE CITY OF CHICAGO.

WHEN YOU KNOW, IF IF YOU'VE GOT PEOPLE IN A IN HARM'S WAY, THEY'RE GOING TO BE LOW MAKING THAT PENCILS TO COME AFTER THE CITY TO COME AFTER THE CONTRACT IS.

AND YOU ALSO, AS YOU SAY, YOU'VE GOT A VERY COMPLEX SET OF WHO'S REALLY RESPONSIBLE.

YOU'VE GOT CONTRACTORS WHO WANT TO YEAH, KEEP A LID ON COSTS.

AND THAT PROBABLY I WOULD GUESS A BIG IN IN THE SECRECY.

THEY DON'T WANT ANYONE MESSING IN WHAT DOING AND THE CITY WHICH HAS DIFFERENT SET OF RESPONSIBILITIES, ALSO HAS TO WORRY ABOUT ALL OF THESE OTHER FACTORS.

SO IT'S IT'S JUST NOT A GOOD SITUATION.

AND THAT HAS TO BE SOLUTION TO IF I COULD JUST JUMP IN HERE.

>> THERE ARE THINGS THAT COST A LOT OF MONEY AND A VERY DIFFICULT IN THIS SITUATION.

>> HERE'S WHAT IF I'M WHAT THE CITY NEEDS TO DO IS IT.

IT IS ACCESS AND INFORMATION FOR EACH SHELTER IDENTIFIED TO RESPONSIBLE.

HARDY.

WE'RE KEEPING IT CLEAN.

WE'RE MAKING REPAIRS.

IS SOMETHING THE CITY COULD DO.

IT SEEMS IT'S NOT OWNER IS STAYING.

IT'S NOT ASKING TO TAKE CARE OF EVERY PROBLEM AT ONE TIME.

AND DAN REP, BUT THINGS IDENTIFY WHO IS RESPONSIBLE.

WE HAVE TOO MANY SHELTERS GOING ON FOR TOO MANY MONTHS NOW FOR THIS.

STILL TO BE AN OPEN QUESTION AS TO AND WHERE DOES THIS ISN'T THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT VERY COMPLEX SITUATION, AT LEAST RESPONSIBLE PARTIES FOR EACH SHELTER AND LEAST SOME OF THEM DO HAVE MANAGERS.

THEY ACTUALLY LET'S JUST TAKE A BABY STEP AND TRY AND GET THIS THING EITHER THROUGH COMMUNITY GROUPS FOR NGO'S, FOR NONPROFITS.

AND YES, REPORTER.

SHE WANT TO REPORT ON IT.

AS YOU POSSIBLE PART, A COMPLEX OF THE SITUATION THIS WEEK IS A FRIGID ARCTIC.

TEMPERATURES THE CITY DOING IN TERMS OF KEEPING MIGRANTS, SAVE IT.

>> BASICALLY ANYONE AND HOUSED THE SAFE AS TEMPERATURES PLUNGE DANGEROUSLY LOW.

WELL, THE STATE HAS BUILT AN INTAKE CENTER THAT HAS BEEN ABLE TO GET A LOT OF PEOPLE OFF THE STREETS INTO A LITTLE CENTER THAT'S KIND OF TEMPORARY BEFORE THEY GO INTO A SHELTER.

>> SO THAT'S BEEN HELPFUL.

AND THEN SOME PEOPLE HAVE BEEN RETURNING OR SO MIGRANTS HAVE BEEN RETURNING TO POLICE STATIONS.

AND THERE ARE ANOTHER 200 I THINK AT THE AIRPORT.

AGAIN, THERE WAS A POINT WHERE THAT WAS ALL CLEARED OUT.

BUT NOW, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE THEY'RE GOING BACK THERE AGAIN UNTIL MORE SHELTER AREA CAN BE MADE AVAILABLE TO MASSES OF AGES.

THE BUS COMPANY, ONE OF U.S. COMPANIES TAKE >> BUSING MIGRANTS UP HERE TO CHICAGO.

THEY'RE SUING THE CITY NOW BECAUSE THE CITY RULES REQUIRING WHEN AND WHERE THEY CAN.

>> DROP MY PANTS OFF OF THIS LANDINGS ON.

WHY ARE THEY SUING?

>> WELL, MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT IT'S IN RETALIATION TO THE CITY'S ATTEMPTS TO CRACK DOWN ON ROGUE BUSES.

SO BUSES THAT WERE SHOWING UP ALL HOURS OF THE DAY AND DROPPING PEOPLE OFF WHEREVER IN THE CITY, YOU KNOW, OUTSIDE THEIR DESIGNATED LANDING ZONE.

SO MY UNDERSTANDING IS THIS LAWSUIT IS SAYING THAT YOU KNOW, IS AGAINST, I BELIEVE FEDERAL LAW THAT, YOU KNOW, YOU CAN'T STOP, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE'S LIKE IMMIGRATION, LIKE MIGRATION PATTERNS LIKE WITHIN THE WITHIN THE, YOU KNOW, UNITED I'M NOT AT ALL SURPRISED TO SEE THIS KIND OF ESPECIALLY AS THE CITY HAS, YOU KNOW, FIND AN IMPOUNDED, YOU KNOW, BUS COMPANIES FOR FOR DOING THIS, YOU KNOW, ROBUST DROPPING OFF, NOT EVEN JUST IN THE CITY, BUT ALSO, YOU KNOW, IN SUBURBAN COOK COUNTY IN THE COLLAR COUNTIES LIKE AN ESCALATING, GET A CHEST.

LYNN SWEET, GOVERNOR PRITZKER SAYS THAT TEXAS GOVERNOR GREG ABBOTT HAS ACTUALLY PUT A PAUSE.

>> FOR THE TIME BEING ON MIGRANTS APPEARS THAT OUT OF THE KINDNESS OF HIS HEART BECAUSE OF THE WEATHER.

>> I DON'T PARIS.

WHAT GOVERNOR ABBOTT'S MIND?

IT?

WE KNOW THAT GOVERNOR PRITZKER PERSONALLY PAY FOR ADS TO RUN IN 5 TEXAS NEWSPAPERS LAST WEEK BEGGING THE GOVERNOR TO AND SENDING PEOPLE HERE.

WE KNOW THAT IT HAS ALMOST COMMUNICATION WITH THE WHITE HOUSE WITH OFFICIAL CITY STATE ILLINOIS OR NEW YORK.

SO IF THERE IS A PAUSE HERE, SOMEBODY SOMEHOW GOT THROUGH TO THE GOVERNOR AND IT WAS A GREAT EFFORT.

AND THEN.

THAT THAT'S A PLUS RIGHT NOW.

>> AND WE SAY WE ASSUME THOSE AVERAGE PROBABLY RESUME, ESPECIALLY THE DNC COMES CLOSER.

CHRIS JONES, THE MAYOR WAS SUPPOSED TO MEET WITH SUBURBAN MAYORS THIS WEEK THAT TALK SOME KIND OF REGIONAL STRATEGY THAT GOT CANCELED.

I THINK BECAUSE OF THE WEATHER.

IS THERE A REGIONAL STRATEGY HERE?

LOVE AND MAYBE A CO-COUNSEL CAUSE OF THE WEATHER ON A B GOT CANCELED BECAUSE NOT TOO MANY SERVE AS WANTED TO SHOW UP FOR A MEETING THAT'S GOING TO HAVE GOING TO PUT THEM IN A DIFFICULT BIND WITH CONSTITUENTS.

I MEAN, I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS THE CITY HAS GOT TO FACE ABOUT THIS CRISIS IS THAT MANY NEIGHBORHOODS HAVE BEEN SAYING MANY PEOPLE OF ANY CHICAGOANS HAVE BEEN SAYING WITH FOR THIS.

BUT, YOU KNOW, WE DON'T WANT TO RIGHT NEXT TO WHERE I HAVE IN THE BAY.

AND THAT HAS BEEN, I THINK SOMETHING THAT THE CITY'S REALLY GOT TO SUCH AS SOLD ABOUT IS SIMPLY A REALITY IN THE SITUATION THAT'S BEEN HAPPENING.

AND I THINK THAT'S ALSO APPLIED TO THE SUMMIT IS A LOT OF WOULD RATHER NOT HAVE THE CONVERSATION AT ALL BECAUSE FOR THEM POLITICALLY IT'S A LOSE LOSE SITUATION.

>> MAY I JUMP IN HERE?

I HAVE NEWS.

UPDATE FOR YOU ON THIS.

IF I I JUST GOT OFF THE PHONE WITH BRANDON JOHNSON.

HE'S IN WASHINGTON, CAME IN ANNUAL CONFERENCE OF MAYORS AT THE WHITE HOUSE TODAY.

YOU TALK TO PRESIDENT BIDEN TALKED TO EARLIER WITH THE CHIEF OF STAFF, SCIENCE.

WHAT A MAYOR JOHNSON TRYING TO DO NOW IS ORGANIZE MARRIAGES FROM CITIES TO TRY TO FIGURE OUT A WAY TO SHARE THE BURDEN AND TO HAVE SOME KIND OF COORDINATION OF THEORY THAT MAY EXPAND RESTAURANTS TO OTHER CITIES.

AND ALSO THERE MAY BE A WILLINGNESS TO SHARE THE BURDEN.

SO THAT IS ONE OF THE PROJECTS THAT JOHNSON WORKING ON.

JUST TODAY, U.S. CONFERENCE OF MAYORS.

>> AND IT IS THERE ANY INDICATION PRESIDENT BIDEN WANTS TO HELP HERE IN AN ELECTION YEAR WHERE IMMIGRATION IS TOP OF MIND FOR SO MANY VOTERS.

>> SHOW?

BABY STEPS?

BIG STEPS?

I KNOW YOU MIGHT.

AND OUR LISTENERS MAY HEAR A LOT ABOUT.

OBVIOUSLY GO STATIONS GOING ARE NOW FOR A PACKAGE DEALING WITH MAKING THE BORDER SECURE AND TIED INTO THAT.

MAYBE SOME SUPPLEMENTAL FUNDING A PER RIDE IN OF OTHER THINGS.

I THINK IT WILL BE VERY DIFFICULT TO GET THROUGH CONGRESS THROUGH THE REPUBLICAN HOUSE.

EVEN IF THAT THAT THEY HAVE IT, DEAL COULD DOWN THE ROAD, BE VERY BENEFICIAL TO THE CITY IN THE VERY SHORT TERM THIS WEEK NEXT WEEK.

IT'S HARD TO SEE HOW SOMETHING CAN HAPPEN ENOUGH IN VERY NEAR TERM WITH THESE VERY ARCTIC TEMPERATURES, BRINGING MASSIVE ASSISTANCE TO THE CITY.

>> ALL RIGHT.

IT'S A GOOD SEGUE TO NATIONAL POLITICS AS SHE CAPA SAID, TRUMP PRETTY MUCH CLEAN THE SLATE.

THE IN IOWA, NEW HAMPSHIRE, WHEN SEEM TO BE.

A MORE FAVORABLE STATE TO A CANDIDATE LIKE NIKKI HALEY.

THAT'S THE NEXT STATE UP IN THE FIRST ACTUAL PRIMARY THAT YOU HAVE A CHANCE AT AN UPSET.

WELL, NEW HAMPSHIRE IS MORE.

>> OR LESS CONSERVATIVE.

NO WORLD.

IT DOESN'T HAVE A RURAL COMMUNITY THE WAY IOWA NOT AN EVANGELICAL COMMUNITY.

THE WAY I DOES SO A SEEMINGLY MORE MODERATE NIKKI HALEY OR RON DESANTIS COULD MAKE A LITTLE BIT MORE OF AN IN ROAD IN THAT PRIMARY.

YOU KNOW, IF YOU GO BY THE POLLS, WE ALL WONDERED IF THE POLLS WERE RIGHT AND IOWA SHOWED THAT THEY WERE MORE THAN RIGHT.

YOU KNOW, SO IF YOU GO BY THE POLLS YOU KNOW, TRUMP WILL WIN NEW HAMPSHIRE.

SO THE QUESTION IS, YOU KNOW, WELL, NIKKI HALEY BE A SECOND.

IT.

LISTS WE TO 5TH.

TRY ME TRYING TO TRUMP.

FOLKS SEEM TO THINK THAT IF HE WINS NEW HAMPSHIRE, I MEAN, THAT'S AT THE MOMENTUM IT HAS.

AND THERE'S NO STOPPING AT THIS WOULD BE THE LAST CHANCE.

>> AT SOME KIND OF BOWL ARC, IS THAT THE WAY YOU SEE IT?

>> PRESIDENT BIDEN LAST ISLAND PRISON BY THE MOST NEW HAMPSHIRE.

NOW IT'S NOT NECESSARILY ALLERGIST.

I WOULD WORLD OUT SOMETHING HAILEY DOES COME IN A STRONG SECOND IN NEW HAMPSHIRE.

YOU KNOW, THE NEXT STOP AFTER THAT IS YOUR HOME STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA.

AND EVEN THOUGH SHE'S A TWO-TIME GOVERNOR THERE, IT DOESN'T MEAN ACTUALLY HAS ANY DOMINANT POSITION.

BUT I I WANT TO STAY OUT OF PREDICTING THAT THIS IS ALL OVER UNTIL WE ARE SEEING AT LEAST WHAT HAPPENS NEXT WEEK.

>> ALL RIGHT.

WELL, THAT'S THAT'S A GOOD THING FOR A JOURNALIST TO DO TO NOT PREDICT AND TO JUST WAIT AND SEE WHAT THE FACTS SORT OF A PUT IN FRONT OF US CHRIS JONES, YOU KNOW, TRUMP HAS STRENGTHENED HIS SUPPORT WITH EVAN DRELLICH.

ALL REMIND FOLKS TRUMP HAS 91 FEDERAL AND STATE COMING IS FACING A CIVIL FRAUD TRIAL IN NEW YORK.

ANOTHER CIVIL JURY FOUND HIM CREDIBLY ACCUSED OF RAPE.

SPEAK TO THE DISCONNECT BETWEEN WHAT HIS BASE OF SUPPORTERS BELIEVE ABOUT HIM AND WHAT APPEARS TO BE TRUE ABOUT WHO HE IS.

I FIND IT HARD TO TO THAT DISCONNECT THAT I FIND THE RESULTS IN IOWA AND A TOTAL MYSTERY TO ME AND DEFYING DO THINK THAT CLEARLY HIS SUPPORTERS BELIEVE THAT HE REPRESENTS THEIR INTEREST AND THEY'RE WILLING JUST LOOK PAST WELL OF THE THINGS THAT WHAT HE SAYS THAT EVERY SINGLE TIME HE GETS IN TROUBLE WITH THE LAW OR A JURY FINDS HIM GUILTY OF SOMETHING OR A JUDGE FINDS HIM GUILTY OF SOMETHING.

IT'S ALL JUST PART OF A WITCH HUNT.

IT'S ALL BECAUSE THEY DON'T LIKE TRUMP.

>> SEEMINGLY PEOPLE SUSPEND DISBELIEF AND SAY THAT THAT I GUESS THAT COULD BE PEOPLE COMPARTMENTALIZE.

AND I THINK THAT THIS, THAT THAT PEOPLE REAL PEOPLE SEE THIS AS A SOMEBODY WHO REALLY ABOUT THEM.

>> THAT I THINK IN MANY WAYS IT'S WHAT HE DOES AND IT'S OTHERS DO.

YOU DO.

SO THEY FIND THEMSELVES TO BE CALM, DESCENDED TO TO BE IGNORED, TO BE ALL OF THAT.

ALL OF THOSE NEGATIVES THAT THEY HAVE ABOUT PEOPLE LIKE OF COURSE, DEMOCRATIC POLITICIANS, THE SO-CALLED DEEP STATE AND THEY SEE TRUMP AS THEY'RE ON THE WAY.

BUT IT'S A YOU KNOW, TO ME, IT'S A IT'S A FOOL'S ERRAND ALL RIGHT.

WELL, LET'S LET'S GET BACK TO SOME MORE LOCAL NON-POLICE ERIN'S HILCO THE COMPANY THAT TO DEMOLISH SMOKESTACK THAT THEN CAUSE A PLUME OF SMOKE IN VILLAGE ARE GOING TO PAY OUT 12 MILLION DOLLARS IN SETTLEMENTS TO FOLKS IN THE LINE OF FIRE.

THERE WAS GOING TO GET THEM.

HOW MUCH OF THE GOING TO CHAN?

WILL THAT BE ENOUGH?

>> WELL, I'M NOT SURE EXACTLY HOW MANY HOW MUCH EVERYBODY IS GOING TO GET.

I THINK IT DOES DEPEND ON HOW MANY PEOPLE FILE LIKE ELIGIBLE CLAIMS.

ANYONE WHO WAS THERE PRESENT IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD WITHIN CERTAIN BOUNDS OF THE BOUNDARY IS GENERALLY THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF LITTLE VILLAGE.

IF YOU WERE THERE OR IF YOU OWNED PROPERTY OR LIKE LEASE PROPERTY THERE YOUR HOME OR BUSINESS ON THAT DAY TO BELIEVE WAS APRIL 11TH 2020.

YOU ARE SEEING ELIGIBLE TO SUBMIT A CLAIM AND TRY TO OPT INTO THIS PAYOUT.

OBVIOUSLY, IF YOU DO OPT IN, YOU ARE WAIVING YOUR RIGHT TO SUE HILCO YOU KNOW, ON YOUR OWN BECAUSE THIS IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AND ALSO HILCO, YOU KNOW, DENIES NO WRONGDOING YOU KNOW THAT THEY.

LIABLE FOR WHAT THEY WERE BEING ALLEGED OF COMMITTING IN THE LAWSUIT, WHICH WAS BLATANT DISREGARD FOR CERTAIN LOCAL LAWS AS FAR AS YOU KNOW, DOING DEMOLITIONS AND CONSTRUCTION.

SO THE SETTLEMENT HAS TO BE FINALLY APPROVED.

I BELIEVE IN AND THEN PAYOUTS, I THINK COULD START IN JUNE WITH SUMMER TIME TO SHOW DO THEY WANT TO TAKE IT?

THEY COULD STILL DECIDE TO SUE ON THERE.

I THINK THAT REALLY SICK OR IF THERE WAS SOME KIND OF A ASTHMA PROBLEM.

ARE LITTLE MORE POLITICS.

ASHLEY MELISSA COUNTY RESERVE AND ALWAYS SEEMS TO HAVE HER NAME IN THE NEWS.

THE CITY TREASURER WHO ALSO RUNNING FOR DANNY DAVIS IS A >> 7TH DISTRICT SEAT IN CONGRESS IN HOT WATER NOW COULD ONCE AGAIN ALLEGEDLY SHE'S RETALIATING AGAINST WHISTLEBLOWERS.

WHAT'S GOING ON IN THIS OFFICE STAFFERS WHO SAID, HEY, YOU CAN HAVE RELIGIOUS MEETINGS ON COMPANY TIME AND THEN THEY WERE PENALIZED FOR AND SO THEY THOSE WHISTLEBLOWERS COMPLAINED AND THE IG SAYS, HEY, YOU CAN'T YOU CAN'T DO THAT THIS CONGRESS OR FROM HIM.

SO SEEMS LIKE SHE'S RUNNING INTO THESE PROBLEMS LIKE SHE'S RUNNING, AS YOU KNOW, LYNN SWEET FOR THAT DANNY DAVIS, 7TH DISTRICT HE'S GOT A LITTLE BIT OF DO PEOPLE THINK HE'S VULNERABLE THIS TIME?

HE HAD COMPETITION FROM THE LEFT 2 YEARS AGO.

HOW VULNERABLE IS THAT STATE?

>> AGAIN, CAN YOU COUNT STILL RUNNING WELL OUT THERE, MORE COMPETITION, DANNY DAVIS HANDS AS SHE SEEKS WHAT IS IT 20ND 2015 I THINK A SHOW IN SENSE TECHNICALLY THE MORE MORE POLITICS YOU HAVE, THE EASIER IT IS IN THE MARCH PRIMARY SO FAR WE WILL KNOW MORE ABOUT THE CAMPAIGN AT THE END OF THE MONTH TO SEE IF THERE'S ANY SUBSTANTIAL FUNDRAISING.

I THINK THE CITY CHARGERS CAMPAIGN IS KIND OF JUST BEEN STORM FROM TAKING OFF BECAUSE OF ALL TV SAID NEGATIVE STORIES ABOUT HER.

DANNY DAVIS IS NOT A VERY PROLIFIC FUNDRAISER, BUT HE IS WELL KNOWN WITHIN THE DISTRICT.

SO RIGHT NOW SINCE ON JOHN SEEM TO BE MOUNTING VERY ROBUST CAMPAIGNS AGAINST HIM.

HE GOES INTO IN 2 WEEKS BEFORE THE PRIMARY DECENT SHAPE.

THIS IS FOR AGAIN, FOR OUR VIEWERS.

THIS IS A TEST OF THE LEFT RUNNING TO THE LEFT.

YOU KNOW, CONYERS UNOS TRYING TO STAKE OUT A LITTLE CENTERS.

GRAHAM AND DANNY DAVIS IS ONE THE PROGRESSIVE MEMBERS OF CONGRESS.

AND YET LAST PENA CAN COUNT INSTEAD OF IS IS TRYING TO.

MAKE THE ARGUMENT OF EVEN FURTHER LEFT MOST AREAS.

ARGUMENT A GENERATIONAL CHANGE ARE ON WHERE HAVE CANDIDATES ARE RUNNING AGAINST YOUNGER.

>> RIGHT.

THANK YOU.

COLLEGE COMES HER HEARING COMES UP.

I THINK IT IS WEDNESDAY TERMS OF FITCH WHETHER CAN STAY IN THAT.

YES, SHE ABOUT WHETHER SHE WILL STAY IN OF THE BALLOT.

THAT'S GOING OKAY.

WE'VE GOT TO GET TO THIS STORY ABOUT THAT.

THE WHITE SOX ALLEGEDLY IN SERIOUS TALKS BUILD A STATEMENT.

THE 78 THAT PARCEL OF LAND, JUST HOW THE SOUTH HOUSES YOU THINK THESE TALKS ALL RIGHT.

SO I'M A BIG FAN OF THE 70.

I THINK THE 7 WAYS TO COOL SPOT FOR A STAY.

THE EDITORIAL BOARD.

WE THOUGHT THE CASINO SHED NOTHING TO DO WITH THE FACT THAT WE ALREADY LIVING IN THE OTHER WE THOUGHT THAT THE CASINO SHOULD GO IN THE IS WHAT THE 78 HAS HAS READ THE FROM TAKING OVER BEAUTIFUL BAH RESTAURANT.

KIND OF SEEN IT'S NOT DISPLACING ANYBODY.

HE'S GOT GOOD INFRASTRUCTURE A SUBWAY STATION ON THE WAY.

IT'S A COOL 3 CTA LINES WITHIN A COUPLE.

METRO LINES, RIGHT?

THERE IS HIGHWAY RIGHT THERE.

YEAH.

I MEAN, IF YOU IF YOU KNOW IF THEY CAN COME UP WITH OUT AND CREATE ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICT, THAT HE'S THE OTHER THING, TOO.

IT'S A GREAT BETWEEN THE LOOP ON THE SOUTH SIDE SO THAT THAT WOULD THAT WOULD CONNECT THE SOUTH LOOP, PULLED AWAY ITALY INTO CHINATOWN INTO BRONZEVILLE.

IT WOULD BE GREAT THING FOR THE CITY BUT ALL FAR.

HERE'S THE THING SO THAT SUCH A REINSDORF HAD HIS OLD STADIUM BUILT.

>> WITHOUT SPENDING A DIME OF HIS OWN MONEY, GOT THE GOT THE CREATION OF THIS ILLINOIS SPORTS FACILITIES AUTHORITY TO FUND THE HOLDER.

THAT WAS IS IT GOING TO GET WAS PUBLICLY THAT BUILT THIS EVENT BECAUSE HE'S THREATENING JUST LIKE THAT, WELL, I THINK THE THINKING IS YES, WHY NOT JUST HAVE IS THAT HOTEL TAX MONEY?

WHY NOT JUST HAVE THAT HOTEL TAX?

PLENTY HELP.

>> THIS NEW STADIUM THE WAY IT'S HELPING FIELD, ONE OF THEM, THE CITY, I GUESS WE'LL HAVE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO WITH THE OLD I AROUND.

>> UPSTAIRS KNOW OUT.

I'M GROWN UP AND GET IT OVER T-SHIRT THAT SAYS THE FLORIDA ON IT.

THAT WAS GREAT.

ST. WAS TRENDING.

AT THEY GOT STADIUM THROUGH LEGISLATIVE SLEIGHT OF HAND BY BASICALLY STOPPING THE JOE THOMPSON DID IN ORDER GET SQUEEZED VOTES OUT BEFORE MIDNIGHT WHEN LEGISLATIVE RULES WERE CHANGED.

I DON'T THINK THAT WOULD HAPPEN.

INTERESTED IN DOING IT.

WE WE KNOW THAT THE GOVERNOR THOMPSON AND MIKE MADIGAN, BIG WHITE SOX FANS.

WELL, VERY INTERESTED IN KEEPING THEM >> IN TOWN.

BUT, YOU KNOW, GOVERNOR PRITZKER SAID NO PUBLIC FOR.

I MEAN, THERE IS A NEGOTIATION WHERE YOU COULD MAKES A NICE CONCESSIONS AROUND THAT SITE.

IF IT'S BRINGING PUBLIC GOOD, THEY'RE ALWAYS I THINK THE WHITE SOX COULD BE BROUGHT TO THE TABLE FOR THAT SITE.

BUT NO, WE GIVE AWAY PUBLIC MONEY TO THESE.

>> MASSIVELY VALUABLE MAJOR LEAGUE FRANCHISES, THOSE THOSE SUPPLIES TO JUST OVER.

>> I THINK WHAT WE DEFINED MARRIAGE ACT HERE DID.

THIS IS A PRETTY SERIOUS THING THERE ABOUT THIS INVESTMENT IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

YOU CAN'T RICH FROM THE STADIUM ON THE SOUTH SIDE.

JUST BECAUSE YOU THINK WOULD BE COOL TO HAVE IT FEW MILES NORTH.

SO I I DON'T THINK THAT COVER AGAIN.

MAYBE.

LET ME JUST SEE IF WE CAN RETOOL THE CONVERSATION HERE.

ONE OF THE THINGS STADIUMS DO ITS LINKED TO DEVELOPMENT YES, HAPPENED TO THE DEGREE THAT YOU OPT IN WASHINGTON HERE WHEN NATIONAL STADIUM WAS BUILT, IT SPARKED A WHOLE RENAISSANCE IN AREAS THAT HAD BEEN UNDER DEVELOPED IN THE CITY.

SO THERE NEEDS TO BE A VERY ROBUST PLAN OF WHAT TO DO WITH THE CURRENT SHOCKS PARK FOR YOU.

LAUGH AND TALK ABOUT AND YOU WANT BECAUSE OTHERWISE YOU'RE CRATERING ONE OF THE BIG.

BEING OF THE SOUTH.

I THINK THERE'S GOING WHEN THEY SHOW A LITTLE PLUG TIME RIGHT THANKS TO MADISON.
