>>>THANKS FOR JOINING US ON CHICAGO WEEK IN REVIEW.

$30 MILLION DEALS, LOOKING AT CHICAGO'S MIGRANT CRISIS.

THE MAYOR SAYS HE WANTS 1600 ASYLUM-SEEKERS MOVED FROM POLICE STATIONS TO TENT CITIES AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, AFTER THE CITY SIGNED THE CONTRACT FOR THESE VETERAN SERVICES.

>> IT IS TIME.

YOU DESERVE WORK PERMITS TOO.

>>> MEANWHILE, PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN, IS LOOKING AT VENEZUELAN ASSIGNMENT SEEKERS WORK PERMITS.

THIS IS FROM THE ILLINOIS OFFICIALS.

WEEK ONE OF THESE NEW LAW, DEVELOPING CASH DEVELOPMENTS WITHOUT ANY MAJOR HICCUPS.

SOME LAW ENFORCEMENT, STILL WORRIED THAT THEY MIGHT BE LET BACK OUT ON THE STREET.

THESE LEGAL AND ETHICAL HOT WATERS, ARE ALLEGEDLY MAKING CITY WORKERS PERFORM PERSONAL DUTIES FOR THEM.

THIS IS ON TIME.

>>> IN SPORTS, THE CUBS PLAYOFF CHANCES ARE IN LIFE SUPPORT AS THE SEASON ENTERS ITS FINAL WEEKS.

THIS IS A CHAOTIC WEEK FOR THE BUMBLING BEARS, AS THEIR DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR ABRUPTLY RESIGNS.

>>> TO A CHICAGO WEEK IN REVIEW PANEL.

THIS IS FROM THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE.

SARASOTA CAMERA, ABC 7 CHICAGO.

JIM ROSE, NEWLY RETIRED FROM ABC 7 CHICAGO AFTER 41 YEARS.

STELLAR CAREER.

WELCOME, IT IS GREAT TO HAVE YOU HERE.

SARAH SHELTIE, TELL US ABOUT THIS $30 MILLION CONTRACT.

HOW WILL THIS IMPACT THE MIGRANT SITUATION?

>> IS THE POINT.

WE ARE TRYING TO GET TO SOME OF THE 1600 PEOPLE.

WHETHER THEY WILL DO THAT OR NOT, I AM NOT SURE IT WILL.

THIS COMPANY THAT THEY HAVE SIGNED QUIETLY, THIS IS FROM LAST WEEK WITH $30 MILLION.

THIS IS A CONTROVERSIAL COMPANY.

THEY ACTUALLY HAVE BEEN USED BY THE STATE OF FLORIDA.

THEY ACTUALLY SEND MIGRANTS TO CHICAGO.

THIS IS A LITTLE BIT ODD.

I THINK THE POINT OF THIS COMPANY IS THE POINT OF THESE SHELTERS.

TEMPORARY SHELTERS.

THEY ARE WINTERIZED.

THE CITY IS TRYING TO CALL THEM BAY SCANS.

THEY WANT TO GET AWAY FROM THAT TERMINOLOGY.

THEY ARE NOT REALLY TENSE.

THEY ARE TRYING TO OPERATE AND RUN THEM.

>> WHY DID THE MAYOR DO IT THIS WAY?

MAYBE THEY OPPOSED TO HAVING OTHER CITY COUNCILS?

>> SPEED.

YOU KNOW WHAT IS FASTER THAN BASE CAMP?

YURTS.

YOU CAN DO THAT FASTER.

YOU CAN GET THAT SET UP.

THAT IS WHAT THEY ARE GOING FOR.

>> THE STATE HAS THE CONTRACT WITH THIS COMPANY.

THEY ONLY HAVE A TINY FRACTION OF WHAT THEY SIGNED UP FOR.

IS THERE A CHANCE THAT THIS REALLY ISN'T GOING TO HAPPEN AS PLANNED?

>> IT IS A LITTLE BIT EARLY TO TELL AT THIS POINT.

I FEEL LIKE CHICAGO DOES NEED A SOLUTION.

IT NEEDS TO HAPPEN FAST.

WINTER IS COMING, AS EVERYONE HAS BEEN SAYING.

WINTER IN CHICAGO IS SUPPOSED TO BE BRUTAL.

>> I HAVE HEARD THAT BEFORE.

WHAT TV SERIES IS THAT FROM?

DO YOU FEEL LIKE THEY HAVE THIS UNDER CONTROL?

DO WE SEE THIS MONTH OF PICTURES?

DO WE HAVE ASYLUM-SEEKERS SWEEPING?

ARE WE SLEEPING ON SIDEWALKS?

>> I DON'T THINK THEY HAVE IT UNDER CONTROL.

THEY HAVE A MANDATORY CRISIS.

PEOPLE ARE COMING UP HERE, AND WE ARE ABOUT TO APPROACH THE DEAD OF WINTER.

THIS IS FOR US.

THIS IS SO SAD.

NO SOLUTION CAN BE MADE RIGHT NOW.

I AM HOPEFUL THAT THE MAYOR AND ALL OF THEM CAN GET TOGETHER.

THEY CAN SOLVE THIS HUMANITARIAN CRISIS.

AMERICA IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE A GOLDEN DOOR.

PEOPLE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE ABLE TO COME HERE, AND LIVE THE LIFE AND ENJOY THEMSELVES.

THEY WILL PROSPER, AND MULTIPLY.

THEY WILL BE MEMBERS OF SOCIETY.

THIS IS HAPPENED SO MANY TIMES IN THE PAST, IT IS HERE LIKE THIS.

>> THEY HAVE ILLINOIS LAWMAKERS BEGGING FOR THIS.

>> THEY SIGNED WORK PERMITS FOR THESE AT VENEZUELAN WORKERS.

THEY HAVE BEEN COMING RECENTLY.

IS THIS A GAME CHANGER?

>> IT IS A GAME CHANGER FOR SOME.

WITH THIS DEADLINE, IT HAS TO BE VENEZUELANS FROM BEFORE JULY 31st.

THIS WAS WITHIN 18 MONTHS.

IT WAS A LENGTHY PROCESS.

THEY HAVE LOTS AND LOTS OF PAPERWORK.

THEY ARE TRYING TO GET THIS DONE.

I THINK PEOPLE GET SOME WORK FROM IT.

WHETHER IT IS GOING TO MAKE A BIG DENT IN THE AMOUNT OF ACTIONS THAT WE HAVE IN THE CITY OF CHICAGO, I AM NOT SURE.

WE ARE GETTING BUSLOADS EVERY SINGLE DAY.

>> ALL THAT BEING SAID, YOU HAD ANOTHER SITUATION.

EVERY TIME THE JOB AND MINISTRATION OPENED UP, THEY ARE AIDING IN THESE SHELTERS SINCE MAY.

AS SOON AS THEY OPEN THEM UP, THEY FILL OUT.

YOU HAVE TO HOPE THAT PEOPLE ARE MOVING OUT.

YOU HAVE TO HOPE THE PEOPLE ARE GETTING SELF-SUFFICIENT.

THAT IS THE WAY OUT OF THE CRISIS.

YOU ARE WONDERING WHETHER OR NOT THEY ARE GOING TO CONTINUE IT.

IT IS THE BEST WAY FORWARD WORRIED >> YOU ARE IN TOUCH WITH A LOT OF THESE GROUPS.

THESE COMMUNITIES ARE EXCITED ABOUT THE PROSPECT OF HAVING THESE WORK PERMITS.

THIS IS PERHAPS SPEEDING THEM UP.

>> THESE GROUPS ARE DEFINITELY HOPEFUL.

THEY THINK IT WILL DEFINITELY HELP THEM MOVE THE PROCESS ALONG.

THEY ARE GETTING OUT OF SHELTERS.

THEY ARE IN THESE HOUSING SITUATIONS.

THEY ARE TRYING TO DO THAT.

WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THEY HAVE SAFE WORKING CONDITIONS.

THE OTHER SIDE OF IT, IT IS ONE THING THAT I DIDN'T KNOW.

I WAS TRYING TO APPLY.

IT WAS ABOUT $400.

THAT WAS ANOTHER CONVERSATION THAT NEED TO BE HAD.

THEY ARE WORKING.

MAYBE THEY DON'T HAVE FUNDS AVAILABLE TO THEM.

IS THAT ANOTHER ASPECT THAT WE NEED TO BE THINKING ABOUT?

DO WE HAVE DIFFERENT GRANTS OR SOMETHING?

>> SOME OF THESE NONPROFITS ARE GOING TO TAKE IT UP.

FOR THE FIRST TIME, THERE IS NOW NO CASH BAIL IN THE STATE OF ILLINOIS.

THIS IS WEEK ONE UNDER THE SYSTEM.

ANY MAJOR HICCUPS AND ANY OTHER ACTIONS?

>> THEY ARE LOOKING AT OTHER COUNTIES.

THEY WILL LOOK AT PICKUPS.

ALL OF THESE OTHER PROSECUTORS ARE KIND OF LINING UP.

THEY HAVE DIFFERENT CASES.

THEY ARE LOOKING AT OTHER COUNTIES.

THEY WERE TRYING TO LOOK AT IT.

THERE WAS A SMASH AND GRAB THAT HAPPENED.

SOMEBODY WAS RELEASED.

THEY WERE VERY QUICK TO LET THE MEDIA KNOW ABOUT THAT.

THIS IS WHERE THEY WERE READY TO GO.

THEY KNEW EXACTLY WHERE THIS THING WAS GOING TO GO ON MONDAY.

THEY WERE WAITING FOR THE CASE.

THEY LET EVERYBODY KNOW.

YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER HOW MANY PEOPLE WERE LET OUT.

THEY DIDN'T GO OUT AND COMMIT CRIMES.

ONE CRIME IS A LITTLE BIT TOO MANY.

THIS IS THE WHOLE PURPOSE OF THE NO CASH BAIL.

THIS IS SO THAT PEOPLE THAT HAVE LOW-LEVEL CRIMES, DON'T HAVE TO LINGER IN JAIL FOR A LONG TIME BECAUSE THEY CAN'T AFFORD IT.

>> THAT STARTS A VICIOUS CYCLE.

PROSECUTORS GO THROUGH THIS EXTRA STEP NOW.

THIS IS FROM THE DETENTION HEARINGS IF THEY WANT TO LOOK AT THE TRIAL.

THE LAW ENFORCEMENT STILL FEAR THAT THIS IS GOING TO LEAD TO FOLKS THAT ARE ENDANGERED IN THE COMMUNITY.

>> I DO.

THEY HAVE A LOT OF LAW ENFORCEMENT PEOPLE WHO ARE BACKING OFF FROM THE RESPONSIBILITIES.

THEY ARE USING THAT AS AN EXCUSE TO SAY THAT SINCE WE DON'T HAVE THIS CASH BAIL SYSTEM ANYMORE, AND CRIMINALS ARE GETTING OUT ON THE STREET, THIS IS WHAT WE ARE DOING WHEN I SEE SOMETHING HAPPENING.

WE ARE DOING WHAT I AM SUPPOSED TO DO AS A POLICE OFFICER.

I THINK THE WHOLE PROBLEM STARTS WITH LEGISLATION.

THE LAWS OF THE STATE HAVE GOT TO CHANGE.

FOR INSTANCE, LOOK OF THE CARJACKINGS.

IT IS JUST A STRUGGLE.

A MAJORITY OF THE CARJACKINGS ARE TAKING PLACE.

THE KIDS ARE 17 YEARS OR YOUNGER.

24 HOURS LATER, IT WAS A SCORE ON OUR AIR.

THIS WAS CHANNEL 7, A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO.

SOUTH SUBURBS, CAME UP.

THESE KIDS HAD STOLEN A CAR.

THEY HAD A JOYRIDE.

THEY KILLED A 75-YEAR-OLD MAN.

THE INVESTIGATION HAD NOT BEEN COMPLETED YET.

THE SAD THING, THEY ARE OUT AND ABOUT.

ARE THEY GOING TO COMMIT ANOTHER ONE?

WE DON'T KNOW.

WE ARE TRYING TO GET OUR SET OFF OF THE FACT THAT IF SOMEBODY IS TRYING TO COMMIT A CRIME, THEY NEED TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR IT.

THEY NEED TO TAKE A LESSON AS WELL.

>> THIS IS REALLY WITH THE JUDGES ON THIS.

THEY NEED INFORMATION FROM POLICE AND PROSECUTORS ABOUT THESE DEFENDANTS.

IN THE END, THE JUDGES HAVE TO TAKE EACH CASE, AND REALLY DO SOME DILIGENCE READ HERE.

IT USED TO BE 100,000 HOURS.

>> THEY WERE TRYING TO GO BY IN 30 SECONDS.

THEY WERE REALLY TRYING TO TAKE THESE CASES THROUGH.

THEY ARE LOOKING AT DIFFERENT DETAILS.

>> THIS WAS MANY TIMES IN RESPONSE.

THEY WERE TRYING TO PUT MORE CRIMES UNDER THE UMBRELLA.

THEY WERE TRYING TO SEEK OUT DETENTIONS.

HAVE THEY TREATED IT ENOUGH?

THEY NEED TO MAKE SOUND DECISIONS.

>> WHETHER THEY HAVE THAT THROUGH OR NOT, YOU HAVE A LOT OF INSTANCES WHERE PEOPLE ARE NOT BEING RELEASED.

THEY ARE REPEAT VIOLENT OFFENDERS.

THIS IS ANOTHER CONVERSATION WHERE THEY HAVE ANOTHER PROBLEM.

SOME OF THESE PEOPLE HAVE LOW-LEVEL CRIMES.

IN A WAY, IT DESTROYS THEIR LIVES, AND HURTS EVERYONE.

YOU CAN'T THROW THE BABY OUT.

THE DUDE WHO HAD SHOT SOMEBODY, SHOT THREE DIFFERENT PEOPLE.

HE CAN'T GET OUT WITHOUT BOND BECAUSE HE DIDN'T KILL THEM.

HE WAS SHOOTING FIRST.

YOU WANT TO SEE WHAT JUDGES ARE DOING THAT.

THERE IS REASON TO BELIEVE THAT THEY ARE NOT BEING AS TRADITIONAL AS THEY SHOULD BE.

>> WE ARE GOING TO FOLLOW HOW THIS PLAYS OUT.

YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT THERE WERE ZERO REPORTED HOMICIDES SINCE LAST WEEKEND.

WARM WEATHER WEEKEND.

I DON'T THINK THERE WAS EVER A CHICAGO IN A LONG TIME THAT HAD A RELATED NOTE.

HE IS GOING TO BE THE NEW SUPERINTENDENT.

THIS IS CONFIRMED BY THE CITY COUNCIL TODAY.

THEY ARE CONSIDERING IT NEXT WEEK.

>> WE KNOW THAT THEY WERE SITTING IN ON THE HEARING TODAY.

THEY WERE FOLLOWING ALONG ON TWITTER.

IT SEEMS LIKE A LOT OF PEOPLE LIKE HIM.

THEY ARE READY TO MOVE ON WITH THE PROCESS.

THEY ARE READY TO HAVE IT CONFIRMED.

>> THEY ARE LOOKING AT SUCH DIFFERENT IDEOLOGIES.

>> THEY ARE LOOKING AT THE SELL SIDE APERTURES.

THEY KNOW WHAT THEY WERE PRESENTED WITH BALANCES.

HE REPRESENTED A GREAT BALANCE OF HAVING THE OFFICER BACK.

WE HAD A POLICE OFFICER FOR 31 YEARS.

WE ALSO REPRESENT THE COMMUNITY.

HE GREW UP IN INGLEWOOD.

HE REALLY WANTED TO MERGE THE TWO.

THEY ARE TRYING TO DO THEIR PART.

THEY ARE LOOKING AT THE ATTRACTION TOWARDS HIM.

>> THEY ARE TRYING TO HELP THE SITUATION.

THEY ARE CONFIDENT IN THE SITUATION.

IT IS A COMMUNITY CONFIDENCE SITUATION.

>> HE HAD A VERY TOUGH JOB.

THEY WERE RUNNING IT.

THEY WERE TRYING TO LOOK AT ALL OF THESE CRIME PROBLEMS.

IT IS GOING TO TAKE A LONG TIME.

A LOT OF THEM DIDN'T HAPPEN.

THEY WERE TELLING PEOPLE WHAT TO DO, AND HOW TO DO IT.

THEY WERE LOOKING AT THE DIFFERENT MEDICINES.

IT WAS ALL ABOUT THE PREVIOUS MATTERS BEFORE THAT.

THEY WERE OPERATING AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED, THE RIGHT WAY.

WE NEED HARD AND FAST SOLUTIONS.

THEY HAVE A HUGE JOB AHEAD OF US.

>> THIS IS FOR MAYOR BRANDON JOHNSON.

THEY HAVE MADE A HABIT SO FAR OF COMPROMISING WITH DIFFERENT ACTIONS.

THEY ARE MOVING THEM DOWN.

THEY ARE ELIMINATING THE DIFFERENT WAGES.

THEY ARE LISTENING TO SOME OF THE CONCERNS FROM INDUSTRY.

THEY'RE TRYING TO WAIVE THE CONCERNS.

>> IT HAS DEFINITELY COOLED SOME CONCERNS FROM THE ILLINOIS RESTAURANT ASSOCIATION.

I THINK IT SHOWS THAT MAYOR JOHNSON IS WILLING TO COMPROMISE.

ALL OF THE EVIDENCE SHOWS THAT THIS WAS ALREADY A DONE DEAL.

THEY WERE TRYING TO PASS IT WITHOUT HAVING TO COMPROMISE.

WITH THESE ILLINOIS ASSOCIATIONS, THEY WERE TRYING TO GO THROUGH WITH IT.

THEY WERE TRYING TO GO THROUGH IT OVER FIVE YEARS.

THAT IS A GOOD COMPROMISE.

AT THE SAME TIME, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I WANT YOU TO DELIVER ON.

BE AT THE TABLE, SO THAT I CAN WORK WITH YOU.

>> IS SEEMS LIKE THEY STILL DOESN'T WANT TO HAVE THIS.

FIVE YEARS IS A LOT EASIER TO DIGEST.

IT WAS SOMEONE THAT TESTIFIED IN THE CITY COUNCIL.

WAIT A SECOND, I WORK FOR BIG TIPS.

I WORK AND LIVE OFF OF MY TIPS.

I WANT TO HAVE THINGS NOT TO CAUSE FOLKS WANT TO TIP MORE BECAUSE I'M MAKING THIS MUCH.

>> THEY SAID THIS IS LEGISLATION IN SEARCH OF A PROBLEM.

I'M NOT SURE THAT THERE THIS HISTORICAL.

THEY ARE CONCERNED ABOUT PEOPLE HURTING THEM.

IT IS JUST HURTING WORKERS BY LOWERING THEIR ULTIMATE SALARIES.

THERE IS A MOVEMENT TO CHANGE THAT.

THERE YOU GO.

I WOULD LOOK AT THE IN ILLINOIS RESTAURANT ASSOCIATION.

MAYBE IN THE NEXT FIVE YEARS.

MAYBE AN ELECTION, SOMEBODY ELSE WINS.

MAYBE THEY GET A REPRIEVE OF SOME SORT.

>> A LITTLE BIT OF PRAISE.

THEY HAVE A LOT OF CRITICISM FOR WHAT HAPPENED OVER THE WEEKEND.

THIS IS WITH THE NEXT CELEBRATION, SHUTTING DOWN THE STREET.

>> HE RAN AS A LEFT-WING GUY.

HE IS A LEFT-WING GUY.

HE IS GOVERNING FROM THE MIDDLE.

WHAT HE DID LAST WEEKEND, WAS LOOKING AT THE CENTER MAYOR.

>> HE PUT IN THE BRIDGE.

>> YOU SO MUCH GRIEF FOR THAT.

HE NOT GET AS MUCH CRITICISM AS HE THOUGHT.

>> YOU THOUGHT WITH SOME OF THE DEMOCRATIC SOCIALIST, THEY WOULD HAVE ASKED WHAT HE WAS DOING.

>> MAYBE THEY JUST WEREN'T VERY LOUD IN THEIR CRITICISM.

>> THE PROBLEM IS THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE A PLAN TO BE ABLE TO DIVERT TRAFFIC, AND KEY PEOPLE MOVING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

I WILL GIVE YOU A PERFECT EXAMPLE.

WE WERE COMING BACK FROM DINNER ON NORTH AVENUE.

THEY HAD A HUGE DUMP TRUCK ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE STREET, TRYING TO BLOCK TRAFFIC FROM GOING EAST.

AS WE ARE APPROACHING IT, AND WE ARE STARTING TO GET THROUGH, THERE WAS AN ACCIDENT.

A TESLA, AND A TOYOTA COROLLA.

THEY WERE TRYING TO GET THESE PEOPLE THROUGH.

SOME OF THEM GOT AGGRESSIVE AND MAD.

ALL OF A SUDDEN, THESE TWO CARS COME TOGETHER.

THESE TWO, ARE DEALING WITH THE INSURANCE COMPANY.

THE TRAFFIC STOOD FROM CLAIBORNE, GOING WEST.

THIS IS ABOUT 15 BLOCKS.

>> THEY HAD A LOT OF SITTING AROUND AND WAITING.

IT DIDN'T SEEM LIKE THERE WAS MUCH OF A PLAN.

THESE LAWMAKERS AND GROUPS, THEY WERE STUCK WITH THIS.

IT SEEMS TO HAVE BLOWN OVER.

>> I THINK THE ULTIMATE QUESTION, IS IT SHOULD MEXICAN INDEPENDENCE DAY CELEBRATIONS HAVE A CITY SANCTIONED EVENT DOWNTOWN?

I THINK THE ANSWER IS THAT THEY SHOULD BE SAYING YES.

THIS IS SOMETHING THAT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL YEARS IN A ROW.

IT IS NOT A SURPRISE.

I THINK PEOPLE WERE VERY FRUSTRATED THAT THE CITY HAD ANNOUNCED THAT THEY WERE NOT GOING TO DO ANY ROAD CLOSURES.

AFTER EVERYBODY WAS GOING TO PLAN TO COME DOWNTOWN, WE ALREADY HAD GRIDLOCK.

PEOPLE WERE PLANNING TO MAKE THEIR WAY THROUGH.

NOW, THEY CAN'T GET THERE.

IT WAS THE ISSUE OF THE TRANSPARENCY OF BEING ABLE TO SAY ON TUESDAY, DON'T COME.

AT THE SAME TIME, WE SHOULD HAVE SOMETHING ON A CITY LEVEL SO THAT PEOPLE CAN ENJOY THEMSELVES.

WE WILL HAVE A LITTLE BIT MORE CONTROL OVER THAT.

>> THEY HAVE ONE YEAR TO HAVE THAT DEBATE, AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS NEXT YEAR.

I WANT TO GET TO THIS GREAT STORY THAT YOU BROKE ABOUT THESE CITIES, AND THEIR TREASURES.

WE HAVE A LOT OF ETHICS IN LEGAL HOT WATER.

THEY SEIZED THEIR COMPUTERS.

THEY ARE A PART OF A SERIOUS INVESTIGATION.

JUST REMIND US, WHAT ISSUES ARE YOU FACING RIGHT NOW?

>> THE ALLEGATION, IS THAT SHE TRIED TO GET A LOAN FROM A CITY DEPOSIT AND OTHER BANKS.

THEY WERE TRYING TO HAVE STAFF DO OTHER PERSONAL ERRANDS.

THEY WERE LOOKING AT OTHER KIDS BIRTHDAY PARTIES.

OTHERWISE, THEY WERE MISUSING GOVERNMENT RESOURCES.

SHE DENIES WRONGDOING.

SHE WAS TRYING TO LET IT BLOW OVER.

AS THE INSPECTOR GENERAL CAME IN, WHICH WAS AN EXTREMELY AGGRESSIVE MOVE, WE ARE LOOKING AT OTHER SERIOUS INVESTIGATIONS.

>> IT SOUNDS LIKE THE FBI TACTIC.

>> IT IS.

THAT IS A WHOLE MESS FOR HER.

SHE POSTPONED HER ANNOUNCEMENT BECAUSE OF OUR INITIAL STORY.

SHE IS NOW TRYING TO FIGHT IT OUT WITH HIM.

HAVE A CHARM OFFENSIVE GOING OUT.

THIS IS VERY TOUGH WITH OUR COLLEAGUES AT ABC 7.

HE DID A GREAT JOB INTERVIEWING THEM.

>> THEY DID NOT DENY THE BANK PART OF IT.

THEY DID NOT DENY THAT THESE FOLKS WERE DOING SOME PERSONAL ACTIONS.

NOT AT THE SAME TIME.

>> SHE IS ALSO HIRING THE NEW CHIEF OF STAFF.

SHE WORKED FOR EMMANUEL.

>> HE HAS BEEN AROUND.

>> THEY WERE GIVING THEM OUT PUBLICLY TO DENY THE ALLEGATIONS.

SHE IS TRYING TO DO HER BEST.

>> THEY WILL BE TALKING TO YOU.

AS WE HAVE IN THE PAST, JIM ROSE, FIRST OF ALL, CONGRATULATIONS ON AN AMAZING CAREER.

YOU HAVE DELIVERED THE SPORTS WITH GUSTO.

THIS IS INSIDE, INTELLIGENCE, AND ENTERTAINMENT.

I WANT TO GET TO SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS OF YOUR CAREER.

FOR THE CUBS, THEY WON TODAY.

>> ON THE OUTSIDE LOOKING IN.

THE WILDCARD TEAM.

SOMETHING BEHIND ARIZONA, AND PHILADELPHIA, THEY ARE THE 13.

WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN, IS ARIZONA HAS TO START LOSING GAMES.

THE CHICAGO CUBS BASICALLY HAVE TO WIN OUT.

BASICALLY, TWO WEEKS BEFORE I LEFT, SEPTEMBER 1st, I THOUGHT THEY HAD A GOOD CHANCE TO WIN THE NATIONAL LEAGUE DIVISION.

THEY FALTERED.

THEY CAN'T SEEM TO PICK THEMSELVES UP.

THEY DID WIN TODAY.

>> HOW MANY TIMES HAVE WE SEEN THIS?

>> 40 SOMETHING TIMES.

>> HOW MANY TIMES HAVE WE SEEN A BEARS TEAM COMPLETE THIS FUNCTION?

FIRST OF ALL, OUT OF NOWHERE, THE DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR, IS DECIDING THAT HE WANTS TO RESIDE WITH ALL OF THESE WILD RUMORS OVER SOCIAL MEDIA.

>> I'M GOING TO TAKE WITH THE TEAM HAS HAD RIGHT NOW, AS FAR AS HEALTH ISSUES ARE CONCERNED.

53 YEARS OLD, I'M NOT SURE IF IT WAS FAMILY, OR SOMETHING THAT HE IS GOING THROUGH.

I WISH HIM THE BEST.

THEY HAVE A HUGE DILEMMA.

I DON'T KNOW HOW HE IS GOING TO BE ABLE TO BEAT KANSAS CITY THIS WEEK.

TRYING TO RUN A SIDELINE, AND CALL DEFENSIVE SIGNALS.

>> THIS DEFENSE HASN'T BEEN ABLE TO STOP ANYBODY.

NEW YORKER ACTIONS, AND MEDIOCRE GUYS, THEY TRIED TO ACQUIRE THEM FROM LAST YEAR.

YOU CAN'T MAKE ANY MISTAKES.

HE WAS BASICALLY TRYING TO RUN THIS OFFENSE, SITTING BACK TO WHAT THE COACHES ARE TELLING HIM TO DO.

THIS IS AS OPPOSED TO DOING WHAT HE NATURALLY SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO.

>> HE WILL WANT IT BACK.

CAN HE GET OUT OF HIS HEAD AND PLAY THAT BACKYARD BALL?

>> I THINK HE CAN.

ONE OF THE SITUATION THAT HE HAS, AS WITH HIS WIDE RECEIVER.

THESE ARE SOME OF THE GUYS THAT CAME IN HERE.

DJ MOORE, HE IS NOT GETTING THE BALL ENOUGH TO HIM.

THEY HAVE A CRISIS OF CONSCIENCE RIGHT NOW.

I DON'T THINK IT IS GOING TO BE SELF-EVIDENT.

IN A DIVISION WHERE AARON RODGERS IS GONE.

HE IS OUT OF HERE.

YOU HAVE MINNESOTA STUMBLING AROUND.

>> IT IS THE ARROGANCE THAT THEY ARE SAYING, GOING INTO THAT HOME OPENER.

THEY ARE JUST WALKING OUT WITH THAT SIMILAR DEJECTED FEELING.

YOU CAME INTO ABC 7 NEWS, TELLING ME THAT SYRACUSE IS HERE IN 82.

RIGHT BEFORE THE RISE OF THE BEARS.

10 YEARS BEFORE THE RISE.

FIVE YEARS BEFORE.

WAS THERE ANYTHING LIKE COVERING THOSE?

>> UNBELIEVABLE.

MY ASSIGNMENT WAS TO COVER THE CHICAGO BULLS.

WE WERE GOING TO COVER THE SPORTS TEAM.

>> DO I HAVE TO?

>> NO.

>> WE HAD ALL OF THEM READY TO GO.

TIMOTHY AND MIKE, WENT BACK BETWEEN THE CUBS AND THE WHITE SOX.

ALL THREE OF THEM ARE WITH THE WHITE SOX OR THE BLACKHAWKS.

THEY WERE TRYING TO PROVE IT.

>> WE ARE WATCHING THE DOCUMENTARY.

THERE WAS SOMETHING CALLED THE TRAVELING COCAINE SERVICE.

>> THAT WAS LAST SEASON.

IT WAS THE EXIT GAME IN PEORIA.

HE WAS WITH THE GAME.

THEY WERE PLAYING A PRESEASON GAME.

HE IS KNOCKING ON DOORS.

WHERE ALL OF MY TEAMMATES?

HE WANTED TO BE A GOOD TEAMMATE.

HE WAS LOOKING AT SOME MARIJUANA, OR WHATEVER.

HE IS COMPLETELY TURNING IT.

>> WATCHING THE GREATEST PLAYER TO EVER PLAY THE DYNASTY.

HOW IS IT HAPPENING WITH THIS?

>> THEY DRAFTED HIM.

THEY HAD THE U.S. OLYMPIC BASKETBALL TRIALS AT INDIANA UNIVERSITY IN BLOOMINGTON.

THEY ARE TRYING TO FILM EVERYTHING.

CHARLES BARKLEY AND MICHAEL JORDAN, NEVER PLAYED AGAINST EACH OTHER IN COLLEGE.

THEY WERE TAUGHT TRASH TO EACH OTHER.

HE SAID HE COULD STOP YOU ANY TIME HE WANTED TO.

THEY WERE TRYING TO LOOK AT IT REAL QUICK.

THEY ARE MOVING ABOUT SEVEN FEET FROM THE BASKET.

THEY WENT AROUND HIM, AND THEY WENT UP.

HE WENT AROUND HIM.

HE IS STILL IN THE AIR.

OH MY GOSH, LOOK AT THE TAPE.

CHICAGO, REALIZES WHAT THEY HAVE.

THE REAL STORY WAS, WHO IS THE ONLY PERSON TO APPOINT THEM TO COLLEGE?

YOU KNOW THE ANSWER?

HIS COACH, DEAN SMITH.

>> THEY HAD A STRUCTURED OFFENSE.

I BECAME FRIENDLY WITH HIM.

THEY WERE GOING TO ALL THE PRACTICES AND GAMES.

THIS WAS JUNE 19, 1991.

>> THANKS TO ALL OF YOU GUYS.

THAT IS OUR SHOW FOR THIS FRIDAY NIGHT.

DON'T FORGET CHICAGO TONIGHT, A WEEK IN REVIEW.

WE ARE GOING TO WTTW .COM/NEWS.

CHICAGO STORY IS BACK.

WE HAVE A SCHOOL FIRE OF 58.

WE ARE GOING TO WATCH CHICAGO'S FRIDAY NIGHTS, ON WTTW , STREAMING ON THE APP.

ASK FOR THE WEBSITE ON WTTW .COM/CHICAGO STORIES.

THANK YOU FOR WATCHING.

STAY HEALTHY AND SAFE.

SEE YOU AT 10:00, FOR CHICAGO TONIGHT, BLACK VOICES.

NOW, EVERYTHING IS SO CONTROLLED.

THESE PEOPLE HAVE SPUN EVERYTHING THAT THE ATHLETES SAY.

>> WE WANT TO CONTROL THEM.

THEY WANT TO CONTROL THE MESSAGE.

I CAME ALONG IN THE GOLDEN AGE.

>> MICHAEL JORDAN WAS SO GREAT WITH THE MEDIA.

HE WAS SO ELOQUENT.

>> HIS MOM AND DAD HAD A LOT TO DO WITH THAT.

YOU HAVE GOT TO KNOW THEM.

>> ABSOLUTELY.

THEY GAVE ME A VERY NICE TRIBUTE.

GOODBYE.

THIS WAS HERE A FEW TIMES DURING EVERYBODY.

SHE WAS JUST A WONDERFUL PERSON.

WATCH THE MOVIE.

YOU WILL SEE HOW IT ALL HAPPENED.

>> AMAZING PERSON.

SO INFLUENTIAL.

SO MANY ATHLETES.
