>> THANKS FOR JOINING US ON THE WEEK.

IN REVIEW PARISH SHOTS, PLANS FOR MIGRANT CAMPS ON THE CITY'S SOUTHWEST SIDE.

MOVE FORWARD.

DESPITE PUSHBACK.

>> WE NEED TO FIX OUR PROBLEMS AT HOME.

FIRST.

DESPITE A CONTENTIOUS COMMUNITY MEETING, CITY OFFICIALS OUTLINED PLANS FOR POSSIBLE MIGRANT TENT CAMPS IN BRIGHTON PARK PENDING ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW OF THE SITE.

NEW POLICE SUPERINTENDENT LARRY SNOWING VOWS TO WEED OUT EXTREMISTS FROM THE DEPARTMENT.

THIS AFTER A SOMETIMES WBEZ INVESTIGATION REVEALING POLICE OFFICERS WITH TIES TO THE ANTI-GOVERNMENT FAR RIGHT OATH KEEPERS STILL ON THE ROLLS.

TIME FOR ACTION IS NOW AND I WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN.

NEW U.S. HOUSE SPEAKER MIKE JOHNSON TAKES THE GAVEL.

BUT WHO EXACTLY IS HE AND HOW WILL HE GOVERN IN SPRINGFIELD, LAWMAKERS WEIGH RENEWING A CONTROVERSIAL PRIVATE SCHOOL TAX CREDIT AND IN SPORTS NOW.

CANBERRA'S BACKUP QUARTERBACK TYSON BAGENT KEEP THE MAGIC ALIVE AGAINST THE LA CHARGERS.

AND NOW TO OUR WEEK IN REVIEW PANEL, AN ALL-STAR PANEL JOINING US, OUR BRANDON POPOV WCA UTV.

>> AMANDA VINDICATE LYNN SWEET OF THE CHICAGO SUN-TIMES AND AND A WHOLE LOT PLUS OF WBEZ.

LET'S GET RIGHT INTO IT.

I FEEL LIKE WE ASKED THIS QUESTION EVERY WEEK.

BUT BRANDON, POPE, THE TENT CAMPS TO WINTERIZE TENT CAMPS IN BRIGHTON PARK.

ARE THEY GOING TO HAPPEN OR NOT?

IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S ON PACE TO GET APPROVED HERE.

THEY HAD REALLY CONTENTIOUS MEETING IN BRIGHTON PARK ABOUT THIS SAME WAR THAT WELL FOR WEAR.

>> ALDERWOMAN JULIO RAMIREZ WAS ACTUALLY ACCOSTED BY PEOPLE IN A RAID.

SO TENSIONS REALLY HIGH THERE.

YOU HAD PEOPLE AT THAT MEETING.

EXPRESSING THAT THEY THEY HAD CONCERNS ABOUT SAFETY WITH MIGRANTS COMING INTO THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

BUT YOU ALSO HAVE PEOPLE THERE THAT EXPRESS THAT THEY WANT TO GIVE A HELPING HAND.

THEY THINK YOU CAN.

YOU CAN HAVE CONCERNS BUT ALSO BE A GOOD NEIGHBOR AS BIG ISSUE HERE IS LOCATION.

LIKE 38TH IN CALIFORNIA ABOUT 3 BLOCKS AWAY FROM WHERE JULIO RAMIREZ WAS ACCOSTED.

THERE AND BIG CONCERN HERE AS WELL AS JUST THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL APPROVALS AND STUFF LIKE THAT.

BUT SOMETHING AND THAT'S WHAT'S GOING TO SAY WITH THE CITY'S HASN'T SAID MUCH.

BUT THEY BASICALLY INDICATE IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN PENDING.

>> ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW OF THE SITE.

SO WHAT'S THAT GOING ENTAIL?

>> YEAH, I MEAN, THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF INDUSTRIAL USES.

THEY'RE LIKE THERE HAVE IN MANY, MANY PARTS OF CHICAGO.

AND SO YOU'VE GOT TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE AREN'T TOXINS THERE.

YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE GOING TO PUT PEOPLE TO LIVE THERE.

WHAT ARE YOU PLACING THEM ON TOP THERE HAVE BEEN SOME REPORTS COMING UP FROM ENVIRONMENTAL ACTIVISTS FROM THE SUN TIMES INDICATING PROBLEMS.

THE CITY SAYS THEY'RE GOING TO DO THEIR OWN ANALYSIS, BUT IT JUST WAS STACKED ON TOP OF ALL THE OTHER PROBLEMS.

THE BLOWBACK FROM THE COMMUNITY, THE MEMBER OF THE CITY COUNCIL WHO HAD A MEAN AS WE SAID, YOU KNOW, THAT SHE WAS IN LOOP THEN BY THE ADMINISTRATION AT CITY HALL.

AND THEN ON TOP OF IT, I ALWAYS HAVE SAID THIS YEAR BEFORE WINTER HAS 10 UNTIL I SEE IT.

I DON'T KNOW WANT TO BE TURN THAT IS MY POINT.

>> RAPIDLY.

AND THIS IS MAYOR JOHNSON IS JUST NOT PAYING PROPER ATTENTION, HOW TO GET BY.

AND AS YOU MENTIONED, >> TEND DOES NOT HAVE TO BECOME A FOR A 4 LETTER.

WORD.

THEY SHOULD GET A PROTOTYPE OF A WINTER ICE TENT TENTS.

CAN'T YOU KNOW BEFORE YOU DISMISS IT, COMPARING TO SLEEPING IN THE POLICE STATION.

THERE ARE SOME PROPERLY WINTERIZED TENTS THAT I WOULD HAPPILY LIVE IN.

THAT COULD BE CLEAN.

NOW THE ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS FOR THEIR YES, YES.

IF THEY ARE TRULY INSULATED, RIGHT, IF THEY'RE OFF THE GROUND.

I THE YEARS BASICALLY WOULD THAT THERE ARE MANY WAYS OF DOING IT.

THEY NEED TO GET SOME PROTOTYPES OUT THERE TO SHOW PEOPLE WHAT THIS TENT LIKE HOUSING.

THERE'S LOT THAT COULD BE DONE THAT WOULD MAKE THIS PROCESS HAVE GONE BETTER.

THIS IS NOT BRAND NEW.

IT'S NOT AS IF THE MIGRANTS, WHEN EXACTLY THEY'RE ARRIVING.

HOW MANY WILL BE COMING BY WHAT BUSLOADS THAT PRESENT?

THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON.

>> FOR MONTHS, THIS IS NOT A SHOCK TO THE ADMINISTRATION TO SEE 30'S NEXT WEEK IN THE WEATHER NEXT WEEK.

THIS IS THE TIME TO TRY ATTEND SELF ASKING THESE GO UP.

WE HAVE THIS 30 MILLION DOLLAR GARDAWORLD CONTRACT.

>> RIGHT.

DO WE KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT OR IS SOMETHING WEATHER?

AND THIS IS NOT A SITUATION WHERE PEOPLE DIDN'T COME FROM VENEZUELA FOR GLAMPING OF THERE'S OTHER BIGGER ISSUES THAT INVOLVE THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.

I DON'T KNOW WHY.

>> CHICAGO, UNLIKE NEW YORK, IS THAT DEMANDING MORE FROM JOE BIDEN'S ASK YOU AND THEY ARE THEY'RE BIG.

THEY'RE BEGGING FOR THAT FEDERAL MONEY USE THERE ARE SO DANCERS SHORT TERM.

>> THIS IS GOING TO BE THE ANSWERS THE CITY HALL.

IF YOU'RE LISTENING, NOT ONE CHECK IS GOING TO COME TO THIS.

NOW THEY MAY HAVE IDENTIFIED SOME FEDERALLY OWNED FACILITIES PEOPLE CAN GO THROUGH CITY TO MAKE IT CLEAR IF THEY HAVE TRULY TAKEN IN INVENTORY OF SCHOOLS.

FORMER RECTOR EASE MIGHT BE AVAILABLE.

IN ADDITION TO LOOK AT THIS MORE THEN SAYING JUST 10 AND IF YOUR THING TO JUST REPORT THAT THERE'S GOING TO BE A VACANT FORMER GEORGIA, FOR EXAMPLE, I MEAN THAT THERE ARE SOME OTHER LOCATIONS, I GUESS, TO GET MY POINT IS THAT THE FACT THAT THIS IS STILL HAPPENING, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT ANY CANDIDATE FOR MAYOR SHOULD HAVE HAD A PLAN ON WHEN THE ELECTION WAS STILL A CURRENT THAT THIS SHOULD NOT BE COMING BACK IN EVERY COMMUNITY IT'S A BIG LOCATION LIKE A JEWEL ABANDON.

JOY POINT PERHAPS SOME OF THIS COULD BE BETTER SOLVE BY OPEN COMMUNICATION AND SAYING THIS IS WHAT IS BEING DONE.

SCREENING PROCEDURES WITH HEALTH WHAT IN THE ROOM AND BIPARTISAN WE COULD SAY AND THE DONKEY.

WHERE IS IT WRITTEN THAT EVERYONE WHO IS TRAPPED OFF IN CHICAGO HAS TO STAY IN WHERE'S THE REST OF THE STATE WHERE THE JOLIET TURNED DOWN?

YES, 8 MILLION DOLLARS IN AID THAT WOULD HAVE SHELTERED.

MIKE, IS A POINT OF DISCUSSION.

I THINK ANOTHER POINT WHERE THE DISCUSSION WHAT IS THE PLAN THAT WE WE HAVEN'T SEEN A PLAN UNVEILED?

I KNOW I'VE HEARD FROM THE MAYOR'S OFFICE.

THERE IS A FIVE-POINT PLAN.

IT'S DETAIL THAT THEY HAVE.

>> CAN WE AT LEAST SEE THAT?

CAN WE CAN SEE WHAT'S GOING ON HERE.

THERE ARE OTHER CITIES ALSO THAT ARE LESS EXPENSIVE IN TERMS OF COST OF LIVING AND THAT HAVE LOST POPULATION AND WANT THEM.

>> THEY'RE WANT NEW POPULATION, NEW BLOOD.

ST. LOUIS IS ONE WHERE THEY'RE LOOKING TO BRING AS WELL AND OTHER ASYLUM SEEKERS FROM THE CHICAGO AREA THERE.

I THINK THE NUMBERS THAT I SAW WERE SMALL, BUT IT'S A CONCEPT THAT'S WORTH THE PURSUING IN THE SENSE THAT, AGAIN, THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SHOULD BE INTERVENING BEFORE ONE STATE IS BUSING PEOPLE TO ANOTHER STATE OR AFTER THEY DO IT.

THAT'S WHAT IT COMES TO AND SPREADING OUT.

THE MIGRANTS SO THAT CAN BE ABSORBED BY A COUNTRY THIS LARGE.

IT'S STILL KIND OF SURPRISING THAT THERE ISN'T MORE COORDINATION FROM THE STATE OR FEDERAL GOVERNMENT THAT WE'RE BECAUSE AS WE SAID, WE'VE GOTTEN INVOLVED IN A BIT OF POINT OF CONTENTION.

BUT IT DOES FEEL LIKE THE CITY OF CHICAGO'S TAKING ON AN INORDINATE BURDEN HERE.

I'VE GOT TO MOVE ON, DAN TWO-YEAR INVESTIGATION.

>> WITH YOUR COLLEAGUES AT THE SUN-TIMES AND BZA FINDING THAT AT LEAST 27 CURRENT AND FORMER POLICE OFFICERS NAMES APPEARED ON THE ROLES THEY SIGNED UP TO BE PART OF THIS FAR RIGHT EXTREMIST OATH KEEPERS GROUP WHICH WE KNOW NOW THEY HAD A HUGE ROLE IN THE INSURRECTION ON JANUARY 6.

THEIR LEADER IS IS CONVICTED OF HIS WHY THESE OFFICERS STILL ON THE JOB?

SOME OF THEM?

9 OF THEM ARE STILL ON THE JOB.

SOME OF THEM ARE RETIRED OR OR LEFT THE FORCE OTHERWISE.

BUT >> THE 9 WERE STILL ON THE YOU KNOW, THE DEPARTMENT IS ONLY INVESTIGATED A COUPLE OF THEM.

THEY PROMISED TO INVESTIGATE THEM A COUPLE YEARS AGO, NOBODY WAS PUNISHED.

THEY DIDN'T EVEN INVESTIGATE ALL OF THEM.

JUST THIS WEEK, THE HEAD OF INTERNAL AFFAIRS, SENATE CITY HALL THEY DIDN'T KNOW THE NAMES OF ALL THE MENTAL.

WE CONTACTED THEM LAST WEEK.

WE HAVE AN E-MAIL THAT ANTI DEFAMATION LEAGUE SENT US THE CPD IN AUGUST OF 2022.

NAMING NAMES.

SO WE DON'T KNOW WHY THEY DROPPED THE BALL.

THEY SAY THEY'RE GOING TO TAKE ANOTHER SHOT.

LARRY SNELLING SAYS A HIGH PRIORITY IN TERMS OF RESTORING TRUST BETWEEN THE COMMUNITY THAT'S PROTECTED AND SERVED AND THE POLICE FORCE.

HOWEVER, YOU KNOW, WILL THEY BE ALLOWED TO REALLY DO THAT INVESTIGATION?

THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE THAT WANT INSPECTOR GENERAL TO PERFORM AN OUTSIDE INDEPENDENT INQUIRY THAT WILL HAVE LEGITIMACY WITH THE PUBLIC.

HERE'S THE THING.

THERE WAS AN INVESTIGATION DONE A COUPLE YEARS AGO UNDER DAVID BROWN AND LORI LIGHTFOOT INTO AN OFFICER THAT HAD TIES TO THIS GROUP AND YET THEY SAID, WELL, THEY COULDN'T FIRE.

AND THE ISSUE IS LEGALLY ON WHAT GROUNDS CAN THEY IF IT'S JUST?

>> A MATTER OF WILL.

THEY WERE PART OF THIS GROUP AND THEY'RE USING POSSIBLE THAT ABILITY SAYING I WASN'T PART OF AN INSURRECTION.

I DIDN'T KNOW THAT'S WHAT THEY WERE GOING TO DO.

HERE'S THE THING.

THERE'S A RULE.

IT'S CALLED RULE 2 OF POLICE DEPARTMENT THAT IS VERY BROAD AND IT PROHIBITS ANY ACTIVITIES ASSOCIATIONS THAT AND ANY ACTIONS THAT WILL BRING DISCREDIT TO THE DEPARTMENT THAT WILL HARM ABILITY TO PERFORM THEIR MISSION IN THE COMMUNITY.

WHAT THE INSPECTOR GENERAL DEBORAH WINDS BURGA SAID IS WHY DON'T THEY USE THAT RULE?

THE USE THAT EXACT SAME ROLE IN THE 60'S TO DRUM OUT CHICAGO POLICE OFFICERS WOULD FORM THE CLEVER A KU KLUX BRANCH, THE GRAND DRAGON OF ILLINOIS WAS A COP.

NOW THESE GUYS DID IT IN THE INSURRECTION.

THEY DON'T HAVE TO BE.

BUT AT THE TIME THAT THEY WERE IN THERE OKAY.

IT ALREADY WAS A GROUP THAT WAS KNOWN OF THE DONE.

THEIR RESEARCH HAD THE GOOGLE THEM.

THEY WOULD KNOW THAT WHAT THEY WERE GETTING INTO WAS NOT SOMETHING THAT THEY SHOULD BE.

AND EVEN SOME OF THESE OFFICERS YOU IN THIS STORY SAID I DON'T EVEN REMEMBER SIGNING UP FOR THIS THING OR PAYING DUES WIN IT FOUND EVIDENCE THAT THERE WAS SOME DUES PAYMENTS AND THERE'S EXTENSIVE DETAILS ON ALL OF THEM THAT THEY SUBMITTED YOU KNOW, BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION, WHY THEY WANTED TO JOIN.

AND SOME OF THEM WERE TELLING THE OATH KEEPERS WILL BE RECRUITING FOR YOU.

AMONG THE BROTHERS IN BLUE WILL BE RECRUITING FOR YOU AT ROLL CALLS SWEET.

YOU LIVE IN WASHINGTON.

YOU KNOW THE OATH KEEPERS VERY WELL.

YOU KNOW, THEY'RE OLD JANUARY 6TH.

IS IT DOES IT STAND TO REASON THAT ANY POLICE OFFICER NE SWORN LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICIAL THAT HAS HAD ANY AFFILIATION WITH THIS GROUP SHOULD NOT BE IN LAW ENFORCEMENT >> THE ANALYSIS HERE IS THAT I WANT TO JUST GO INTO BEFORE I SAY, MAKE A PROCLAMATION WHO WERE SHOULD NOT LAW ENFORCEMENT IN GENERAL, ANYONE WHO DOESN'T PAY ATTENTION TO WHERE THEY JOIN AND WHAT THEY DO AND WANT TO BE IN ENFORCEMENT PROBABLY SHOULD NOT.

SO THIS IS A BROADER QUESTION AS TO WHAT YOU MAY GIVE UP WHEN YOU BECOME A MEMBER OF THE POLICE FORCE JUST AS REPORTERS GIVE UP AS WE THE ABILITY TO JOIN A POLITICAL PARTY BE EVEN, YOU KNOW, GO OUT AND MEAL FOR A CAUSE.

WE ALL COULD BELIEVE IN WEEK.

WE DON'T DO IT.

THIS IS A MINDSET HERE THAT I'M PUTTING ON THE TABLE IS NOT DEPENDENT ON WHETHER OR NOT YOU'RE IN JANUARY 6 BECAUSE THAT ISN'T THE BENCHMARK, THE BENCHMARK, AS YOU POINT OUT IN THIS SERIES, THAT IS A WONDERFUL COLLABORATION OF CHICAGO PUBLIC MEDIA.

THE CHICAGO SUN-TIMES WITH MY COLLEAGUE TOM SHEBA.

IT'S WELL AS DAN IS PEOPLE WHO HAVE THESE VIEWS TO HAVE ALLIANCES, WHETHER OR NOT THEY WERE IN JANUARY 6, STORY DOESN'T DEPEND ON THAT.

IT POINTS OUT SOMETHING A LITTLE MORE INSIDIOUS HERE THAT THERE SHOULD BE A HIGHER STANDARD.

BUT BRANDON POLK LARRY SNELLING SAYING HE'S GOING TO.

>> HE IS GOING TO WEED OUT EXTREMISM.

WHAT YOU THINK HE'S GOING TO THE DAVID BROWN DIDN'T DO WITH THAT?

I THINK WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN AND THAT'S WHAT THE COMMUNITY COMMISSION FOR PUBLIC SAFETY ACTUALLY RECOMMENDED TO THE TO INSPECTOR GENERAL.

THERE TO BE A FULL-SCALE REVIEW OF ACT.

EXACTLY.

WHAT IS THE SCREENING PROCESS HERE AND HOW DO WE CHANGE THAT?

AND THERE PROBABLY NEEDS TO BE AN EXAMINATION OF THAT RULE TO YOU.

TALKED ABOUT TO MAKE IT MORE SPECIFIC, RIGHT TO ADD SOME LANGUAGE IN THERE.

THAT'S NOT AS BROAD BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, THE FOP WILL CHALLENGE THIS PEACE.

ANYTHING SAYS ALL GOOFY, WHICH ON.

SO WE KNOW WHERE HE'S COMING FROM.

AND WE KNOW THAT HE TOOK ON JAILS ARE THE OF INSURRECTION.

BUT BUT I THINK THE ISSUE IS FRONT FROM THE PUBLIC'S PERSPECTIVE THAT WE TALKED TO A NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO HAD INTERACTIONS WITH THESE OFFICERS OVER THE YEARS.

WE LOOKED AT THE RECORDS OF THESE OFFICERS.

THEY HAD SOME DEEPLY TROUBLING COMPLAINTS, EXCESSIVE FORCE RACISM FROM THE PUBLIC.

AND ALSO IN ONE CASE, A COLLEAGUE COMPLAINED THAT AN KEEPER SLASH POLICE OFFICER WAS USING SLURS AND MAKING BIGOTED COMMENTS.

I SHOULD SAY AT WORK FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS AND THE QUOTE FROM THAT BLACK OFFICER, VETERAN BLACK OFFICER WHO WORKED AT A TRAINING FACILITY SAID THAT IF YOU WALKED IN THERE AND YOU'RE STEVIE WONDER, YOU WOULD THINK YOU'RE AT A RALLY THAT HE HAD NEVER SEEN THAT SORT OF RACISM WHEN HE WAS IN THE MILITARY IN ALABAMA AND TENNESSEE.

SO CLEARLY IS A CORRELATION HERE BETWEEN COPS WITH THIS AFFILIATION AND THINGS LIKE RACISM, EXCESSIVE AGAIN, A VERY THOROUGH INVESTIGATIVE WHILE IT WAS ONLY MADE A 5% DEBT AND THE CONSENT DECREE THAT RIGHT.

AND 82 BY THE FAMILY 5% OF THE REQUIREMENTS AND BENCHMARKS HAVE BEEN MET.

SO MANY GO INTO THIS COMES AS MAYOR JOHNSON IS URGING CITY COUNCIL TO REJECT PART OF THE LABOR AGREEMENT THAT HE HIMSELF NEGOTIATED AND INTO THE POLICE UNION.

WHY IS THAT?

YEAH, IT'S A IT'S A PRETTY BIZARRE TURN OF EVENTS BECAUSE FIRST YOU HAVE ADMINISTRATION, THE MAYOR SAYING.

>> HOW IS THIS IS THIS IS IN AGREEMENT.

WE ALL KNOW THE DEFINITION OF THAT WORD.

DON'T HAVE TO OPEN THE DICTIONARY.

KNOW WHAT AGREEMENT IS.

>> AND THEN LO AND BEHOLD A WEIGHT.

BUT NO, I DON'T ACTUALLY AGREE IN.

THIS WAS ACTUALLY AFTER THAT INVESTIGATION CAME OUT.

AND SO I THINK THAT IS SORT OF BROUGHT TO THE FORE SOME OF THE POTENTIAL ISSUES THAT HE COULD FACE, PARTICULARLY WEST, THE PROGRESSIVE ALLIANCE THAT BOOSTED JOHNSON INTO THE MAYOR'S OFFICE.

AND SO WHAT HE'S SAYING IS DON'T REJECT THE ENTIRE AGREEMENT.

KEEP IN PLACE, SALARY AGREEMENTS THAT ARE GOING TO SEE A BOOST IN PAY FOR CHICAGO POLICE OFFICERS.

REJECTS THE COMPONENT THAT WOULD LEAD TO ARBITRATION BEHIND CLOSED DOORS.

IF YOU HAVE SOME SORT OF ISSUE ON FOR AT FOREIGN OFFICE ARE INSTEAD, HE SAYS THAT SHOULD BE PUBLIC.

SO I MEAN, I DON'T THINK PART OF THE ISSUE WOULD BE WITH PASSED THE CITY COUNCIL.

PERHAPS THAT WAS WHAT ALSO LED TO THE TURN OF EVENTS THAT THE ADMINISTRATION IS TRYING TO GET OUT IN FRONT OF AN ISSUE BEFORE HE GETS BLASTED BY HIS OWN PEOPLE FOR AN AGREEMENT.

BUT IT PRETTY CONFUSING.

WE WE NEED TO CLARIFY FOR THE AUDIT, SAYS THIS SEPARATE PART OF IT IS AN ARBITRATOR'S RULING THAT POLICE OFFICERS ACCUSED OF MISCONDUCT.

THEY CAN GO BEHIND CLOSED DOORS TO AN INDEPENDENT ARBITRATOR TO GET THEIR CASE IS ADJUDICATED.

IF SOMEONE MOVES TO FIRE THEM AS OPPOSED TO GOING TO THE POLICE BOARD.

>> WHICH IS HELD IN PUBLIC, THAT'S THE PROCESS THAT'S IN PLACE RIGHT NOW.

OBVIOUSLY, GRANDPA.

THE FOP THINKS IT.

IF THIS IS A PROCESS, IT'S BEHIND CLOSED DOORS BY AN INDEPENDENT ARBITRATOR.

THEY'RE GOING TO GET MORE FAVORABLE RESULTS AND THE COPS WILL PROBABLY NOT GET FIRED.

THEY BELIEVE THE POLICE BOARD TENDS TO GIVE SKEWED PUNISHMENTS THAT ARE UNFAIR.

AND SO THEY BELIEVE YET CLOSED OR HELPS THEM BETTER.

SO THAT'S WHAT THEY SAY.

BUT OPPONENTS OF AN ARBITRATOR SAY THIS IS A DENT IN POLICE ACCOUNTABILITY AND ALLOWS FOR MISCONDUCT TO KIND OF, YOU KNOW, RUN RAMPANT IN A SO THAT'S THE ARGUMENT THAT THE MAYOR IS MAKING.

I DO WONDER IF IT'S A CHANGE OF MIND OR IF IT'S JUST LIKE WE SEE FROM MAYOR'S JUST A LACK OF COMMUNICATION MAYBE THEY DROPPED THE BALL AND AND A LOT OF CAN THEY LEGALLY SEPARATE THIS THING AND SAY VOTE ON THE SALARIES AND STUFF AND THEN VOTE ON THIS SEPARATE AND WITHOUT LEGAL CHALLENGES TO IS NOT A BUFFET.

YOU CAN SAY LOOKS SO FRESH.

I MEAN, YOU CAN'T PICK AND THEY CAME TO AN AGREEMENT.

IT'S A VERY, VERY BIZARRE SCENARIO.

YOU KNOW, THERE'S THERE'S LAWYERS INVOLVED >> 10, 0.

JENKINS ARE THE HEAD OF THE POLICE UNION AND THAT THAT THIS DEAL AND WHEN YOU BRING IT TO THE TO THE ALDERMAN, YOU KNOW, FOR FOR EDIFICATION, YOU'RE ASSUMING THAT EVERYTHING IS BUTTONED DOWN AND NOW IT'S LIKE, WELL, WE DON'T LIKE THAT PART.

I UNDERSTAND WHY THEY DON'T LIKE THAT.

PART OF ME, BELIEVE ME.

>> THAT STUFF.

I'M ALL FOR TRANSPARENCY.

IF THERE'S ONE THING I'M BIASED IN FAVOR OF ITS TRANSPARENCY, YOU TALK ABOUT THE POLICE BOARD.

WHEN I MENTIONED THE KKK ROOTED OUT, THIS HAS BEEN THE PRACTICE FOR DECADES.

ALMOST POLICE PORT HEARINGS TO ROUTE THE KKK OUT OF THE CPD ALMOST TURNED OUT IN PUBLIC.

ALL WAS PLAYED OUT ON THE FRONT PAGES OF THE NEWSPAPERS AND ALL THAT WAS IN A BOX THAT TIME.

SURE.

BUT I WENT AND LOOKED AT AND THIS IS WHAT TRANSPARENCY MEANS.

AND SO IF THERE SERIOUS SITUATIONS WHERE COP CAN BE FIRED OR SUSPENDED FOR A YEAR OR MORE, WHY WOULD THAT BE DONE IN THE DISCHARGE OF A WEAPON OR SOMETHING THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN UNLAWFUL OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

THESE ARE SERIOUS CASES THAT GET INTO DECAYED.

AND THEIR ARGUMENT IS THAT, YOU KNOW, PUBLIC UNION EMPLOYEES THAT ARE NOT POLICE OFFICERS.

>> THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO ARBITRATION.

WHY CAN'T CPD OFFICERS HAVE THAT AS WELL?

SO IT'S A PRETTY FASCINATING CASE.

AND THE THING ABOUT IT, LIKE YOU SAID, IT'S NOT A BUFFET.

SO IF CITY COUNCIL REJECTS THIS THIS UP PART OF THIS, YOU PRETTY MUCH REJECTED WHOLE THING.

THE FOP A RIGHT BECAUSE IT'S AN ARBITRATOR.

IT'S LEGAL TO RIP UP THE WHOLE THING.

AND WE'VE GOT ANOTHER FOP VERSUS CITY HALL BATTLE ON OUR HANDS FOR A NEW CAR.

YOU GOT THERE IN PART, BY THE WAY, THROUGH WHEN HAVE BEEN COVERING CONGRESS FOR MANY YEARS, 0 TODAY IN YOUR COLUMN ALL THE YEARS YOU'VE BEEN COVERING THIS AUGUST BODY NEVER HEARD OF MIKE JOHNSON WHO NOW HAPPENS TO BE THE NEW SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE.

LIKE WHO SOME JUST SO THIS IS A CASE WHERE MY ANALYSIS.

>> HE'S BEING UNKNOWN ACTUALLY HELP HIS BEING A JUNIOR JUNIOR MEMBER OF THE LOWER LOWER LOWER RANKS OF LEADERSHIP HELP BECAUSE HE NOT HIGH ENOUGH TO GET A LOT OF PEOPLE ACTIVATED AT HIM TO MAKE SOMEBODY WHO YOU DIDN'T WANT.

SPEAKER.

THIS IS NOT REALLY THE PRESCRIPTION FOR HAVING EXPERIENCE LEADERSHIP IN PLACE BECAUSE YOU DON'T MANY TESTS AHEAD.

HE IS AFFABLE MORE THE BALL.

THE THROUGH ITS STEVE SCULLY SAYS WHO MINISTERS MAY NOT KNOW WAS ONE OF THE PEOPLE WHO TRIED AND BK TO BECOME SPEAKER NOMINEE COME AND DO IT WELL, THERE'S JORDAN PRETTY JIM JORDAN.

YOU MIGHT ALL KNOW HIM.

FORMER WRESTLING COACH.

NEVER PUT ON A SUIT JACKET.

AND OF COURSE, KEVIN MCCARTHY WHO WAS OUSTED.

IT HAS BEEN SAID THAT MIKE, WHO JOHNSON, I FEEL LIKE SAYING MIKE JOHNSON R DASH WHAT IS FROM LOUISIANA, BUT FROM LOUISIANA.

AND APPARENTLY HE IS SAYING JIM JORDAN WITH THE SPORT COAT ON AND, YOU EVEN EVEN TRUMP SUPPORTERS IN CONGRESS CALLING MAGEN MIKE, THEY THINK THAT IS KIND OF ON THEIR TEAM AND HE HAS SOME >> STATEMENTS AND POSITIONS IN HIS PAST AGAINST HOMOSEXUALITY.

LGBTQ IS GOING TO WALK THOSE BACKERS.

THAT MOST IMPORTANT POSITIONS.

AND THIS IS THE POINT I WANT TO MAKE AS WE TRY TO IN A VERY SENSIBLE ARISE WAY, GO THROUGH THIS VERY POLARIZING PERIOD THAT WE'RE IN WHEN DEMOCRACY IN SOME WAYS UNRAVELING.

>> HAVING SERIOUS POLITY, SOME POLICY DISPUTES IS STILL WITHIN THE RANGE OR NORMALITY.

MAYBE HE IS.

HE IS A ADAMANTLY ANTI-ABORTION ANTI MARRIAGE.

THAT IS POLICY AND PEOPLE CAN FIGHT ABOUT THAT.

BUT THAT IS STILL POLICY WHERE THIS MORE ALARMING AND IT'S MORE ISSUE HERE IS HE'S ELECTION TONIGH AND HE ACTIVELY TRIED TO OVERTURN THE RESULTS OF THE ELECTION.

THAT IS SOMEBODY THAT IS SOMETHING THAT EVERYONE SHOULD BE CONCERNED ABOUT.

NO MATTER YOUR POSITIONS WHETHER OR NOT YOU AGREE WITH THIS POLICY.

24, BUT CLEARLY EVERYBODY ISN'T CONCERNED ABOUT IT BECAUSE HE BECAME SPEAKER.

SO THAT'S KIND OF THE PLACE THAT WERE PARKED AT NOW, WHEN YOU'VE GOT THE IMMEDIATE ISSUE OF A SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATIONS BILL TO FUND GOVERNMENT, THAT'S GOING WE NEED SOME KIND OF THE STOPGAP.

>> SPENDING MEASURE THAT WAS TO PROVE THIS IS THE MEASURE THEY GOT.

THEN SPEAKER MCCARTHY OUSTED BECAUSE SHE HAD TO DEAL WITH SOME DEMOCRATS AND YOU HAD A DEAL, THE DEMOCRATIC SIDE TO GET IT THROUGH, ONLY 45 DAY SITS UP IN NOVEMBER.

17.

SO EVEN.

EVEN BEFORE YOU MAY DEAL WITH WHAT IS CALLED.

YOU MAY HEAR THE TERM SUPPLEMENTAL APPROACH MAINLY FOR FUNDING OF TO HELP FIGHT THE MIDEAST.

THIS SITUATION, THE MIDEAST, INCLUDING AID FOR PET PALESTINIAN EVERY LEAF AND GUYS HELP ISRAEL TO PAY FOR MOSS AND TO PROVIDE AID TO UKRAINE.

EVEN BEFORE WE GET THERE, PROBABLY THE MORE URGENT THING IS TO MAKE SURE THERE'S A DEAL TO KEEP GOVERNMENT OPEN.

ALL RIGHT.

A LOT OF QUESTIONS AS TO HOW HIS LEADERSHIP IS GOING TO AFFECT ALL THAT.

SO LET'S TURN OUR FOCUS NOW.

AMANDA, TO SPRINGFIELD, SPECIAL SESSION.

>> UNDER SO GOVERNOR PRITZKER INDICATING HE WOULD SIGN AN EXTENSION OF THIS TAX CREDIT FOR PRIVATE SCHOOL TUITION.

SOME DEMOCRATS THAT HAVE SUPER MAJORITIES.

THERE ARE ALSO OPEN TO EXTENDING THIS GOING AGAINST THEIR LABOR UNION BENEFACTORS ARE THEY CAN EXTEND IT.

>> I THINK THAT REMAINS VERY OPEN TO BE SEEN.

SO WE HAD THE FIRST 3 DAYS OF ANNUAL VETO SESSION ALREADY DONE.

DIDN'T COME UP.

YOU DID HAVE WHAT, AT LEAST THE BACKERS OF THIS INVEST IN KIDS, PRIVATE SCHOOL SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM THAT IS FUNDED THROUGH INDIVIDUAL DONORS WHO THEN RECEIVE A TAX CREDIT FROM THE STATE.

THE BACKERS OF IT PUT WHAT THEY'RE CALLING A COMPROMISE BECAUSE IT WOULD REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF TAX CREDIT THEY WOULD RECEIVE.

IT WOULD ALSO REDUCE OVERALL HOW LARGE ILLINOIS WOULD ESSENTIALLY BE PUTTING TOWARD THIS PROGRAMS THROUGH A REDUCTION IN THE STATE BANK KILLED THE WHOLE UNIONS ARE STEADFASTLY AGAINST THIS.

BUT YOU OTHER CONSTITUENCIES AT PLAY INCLUDING DISTRICTS THAT HAVE A LOT OF CHILDREN WHO EITHER ATTEND THESE PRIVATE SCHOOLS BECAUSE THEY'RE PARTICULARLY RELIGIOUS ENCLAVES WHERE YOU HAVE, YOU KNOW, JEWISH ACADEMIES OR CATHOLIC IRISH CATHOLIC, THAT PROMINENT SCHOOLS AND ALSO THESE ARE SCHOLARSHIPS FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE POOR.

AND SO A LOT OF REPRESENTATIVES AND SENATORS WHO COME FROM DISTRICTS WHERE YOU HAVE CHILDREN THAT ARE GOING TO SCHOOL ON THE SCHOLARSHIPS IN HUGE WAITING LIST.

SO I DON'T KNOW YET WHETHER IT IS GOING TO COME UP.

I THINK PRITZKER.

HE'S BASICALLY HE'S NOT PUTTING ANY OF HIS POWER BEHIND THIS.

HE SAYING SURE, SIGN IT, BUT ONLY IF IT GETS TO ME RIGHT.

AND BOY THE GENERAL HAPPENED IN HERE.

ALL WE ARE OUT OF TIME KIND OF RIGHT NOW.

WE'RE GOING TO GET A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE BEARS IN A SECOND.

BUT RIGHT NOW WANT TO THANK.

>> BRANDON POPE.

AND I'M GOING LYNN SWEET AND MLA.

PLUS, WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK RIGHT AFTER THIS.

>> CHICAGO TONIGHT IS MADE POSSIBLE IN BY ALEXANDRA AND JOHN NICHOLS.

THE POPE BROTHERS FOUNDATION.

AND THE SUPPORT OF THESE DONORS.

>> ALL RIGHT.

BRANDON POPE, YOUR RESIDENT SPORTS GUY TODAY.

TYSON BAGENT THIS BACKUP QUARTERBACK OUT OF NOWHERE DIVISION 2, WE KIND OF SHOCKS THE WORLD, ALTHOUGH HERE'S MY LA IS NOT GOING TO BE SURPRISED BY HIM.

THEY'RE GOING TO GAME PLAN.

THEY'RE GOING TO TAKE AWAY ALL THOSE SHORT PASSES.

THE HOUSE.

BEIJING CAN RESPOND.

HE'S GOING HAVE TO RELY ON DJ MOORE.

BIG TIME, THOUGH.

THERE WAS REPORTS OF A BUILT OF STRONGER CONNECTION OVER TIME.

>> BUT HERE'S THE REALITY OF IT.

WE'RE GOING TO SEE HOW SKILLED HE ACTUALLY IS.

YOU MENTIONED WE'RE PASSING GAME.

YOU CAN'T THROW A DEEP LEFT FIELD CAN.

SO WE'RE GOING TO SEE THE REAL DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THESE 2 QUARTERBACKS.

TALK ABOUT A QUARTERBACK.

BATTLE IS IS A BATTLE AT THIS POINT FIELD IS THEIR GUY THIS SEASON.

THE ISSUE IS THIS IS FIELDS GOING TO BE THE GUY YOU KEEP GOING FORWARD THERE?

71 TO 2 AND A HALF HAVE THE NUMBER ONE NUMBER 2 PICK.

LET'S SAY THEY GET A NEW COACH.

THAT NEW COACHES GOING WANT TO HAVE HIS OWN BECAUSE THAT NEW COACH GOING TO BE CURRENT COLLEGE COACH THAT'S UNDER SOME SCRUTINY RIGHT FOR SIGN STEALING AND MAY VERY WELL HARBAUGH BY JIM HARBAUGH.

GO TO THE LOS ANGELES CHARGERS ALMOST AT SAN DIEGO.

BUT THIS HORRIBLE THING ALLEGEDLY HAVING A STAFFER GO TO GAMES OF OPPONENTS AND HE KNEW NOTHING ABOUT IT.

OF COURSE, ALLEGING FITZGERALD KNEW NOTHING ABOUT WHAT'S HAPPENING OTHER PEOPLE.

TAKE THE ENTIRE GAME ON A CELL PHONE.

THIS IS THIS IS GRIMY STUFF AND ALLEGEDLY MORE STUFF DRIPPING NOW FROM I'M GOING TO TENNESSEE GAMES, TCU, ALABAMA, NOT EVEN BIG 10.

FASCINATING SWITCH OVER.

ASKED ABOUT THE BULLS BECAUSE THEY STARTED VERY QUIETLY STARTED THEIR SEASON.

IT DIDN'T LOOK VERY GOOD AGAINST THE NOT GREAT OKLAHOMA CITY ARE THEY GONNA BLOW THIS TEAM?

AND THIS COURT HAS BEEN TOGETHER FOR A FEW YEARS NOW.

HASN'T REALLY DONE MUCH.

AND CURRENTLY DEMAR DEROZAN.

HE'S UNDER CONTRACT NEGOTIATIONS AND THEY ARE NOT GOING WELL.

THEY LIKE TO KEEP HIM AGAIN.

LEVINE LOCKED UP LONG TERM AT THIS POINT.

THE BULLS HAVE TO LOOK IN THE MIRROR AND SAY IS THERE SOMETHING WE CAN DO TO MOVE FARTHER IN THE EAST BECAUSE YOU LOOK AROUND THE BOOKS ARE BETTER, RIGHT?

YOU LOVE YOUR BOOKS, RIGHT?

YEAH.

THE KNICKS ARE BETTER.

THE EAST IS GETTING BETTER OUT DOING THE BULLS ARE FALLING STAYING THE SAME.

ONE OF THE BULLS GET JAMES HARDEN WAS IN THAT AND THEN WE'RE GOING I KNOW HE CAN SHOOT FROM THE PERIMETER BETTER THAN YOU MIGHT SEE THIS AS GREAT SPORTS TALK NOBODY JAMES HARDEN TO THIS POINT TIME SPORTS HAVE NOTHING ON US.
