SCHUTZ PROPERTY TAXES WON'T GO UP.

THERE BRANDON JOHNSON, HIS FIRST-EVER BUDGET.

>> WHAT I PERSON HERE, TODAY'S IT'S JUST OUR FIRST STEP TOWARDS A BETTER, STRONGER.

SAY FOR CHICAGO.

>> MAYOR JOHNSON UNVEIL 16.6 BILLION DOLLAR SPENDING PLAN WITH NO PROPERTY TAX HIKES THAT DETAIL SPARSE ON HOW TO CLOSE A 500 MILLION DOLLARS GAP AND WHETHER THERE'S ENOUGH MONEY FOR THE MIGRANT CRISIS.

CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS GET INTO A SPAT OVER RESOLUTION SUPPORTING ISRAEL AND CONDEMNING THE BRUTAL HAMAS ATTACKS.

A GROUP WHO STATED PURPOSE FOR BEING >> IS TO KILL JEWS.

MORE PLANS FOR MIGRANT SHELTERS FOIL AS BUSES KEEP ARRIVING IN WASHINGTON.

REPUBLICANS IN DISARRAY AS THE U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES STILL DOES NOT HAVE ELECTED SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE AND IN SPORTS.

BLACKHAWKS ROOKIE PHENOM CONNOR BEDARD GETS HIS FIRST GOAL AND THE BEARS LOOK TO KEEP THE MOMENTUM ALIVE THIS WEEK AGAINST MINNESOTA.

>> AND JOINING US ON OUR WEEK IN REVIEW PANEL, OUR RICK PEARSON WITH THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE, OUR VERY OWN HEATHER SHARON.

ALL RIGHT.

JAKE IS PRESENT WITH THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE AS WELL.

AND CHERYL RACED OUT OF WBEZ.

LET'S GET RIGHT INTO IT.

HEATHER SHARON, NOW THIS JUST HAPPENING WITHIN THE LAST HOUR.

LOT OF ACTIVITY AT CITY HALL PROTESTS, COUNTER PROTEST DEBATE OVER RESOLUTION ABOUT THE SITUATION IN ISRAEL AND GAZA.

SET THE SCENE FOR US.

WELL, THIS WAS A RESOLUTION INTRODUCED BY ALDERMAN DEBRA SILVERSTEIN, WHO IS THE ONLY JEWISH MEMBER OF THE CITY COUNCIL THAT ASKED THE CITY TO CONDEMN HAMAS IS ATTACK ON ISRAEL AND BECAME A REALLY BIG FLASH POINT AFTER ALDERMAN REGGIE REP ROSANA RODRIGUEZ, SANCHEZ OBJECTED, SAYING THAT THE RESOLUTION SHOULD ALSO REFLECT THE REALITY THAT MILLIONS OF PALESTINIANS HAVE BEEN LIVING UNDER ISRAELI OCCUPATION.

>> FOR DECADES AND TO CENTER THEIR HUMANITY AND THE VIOLENCE THAT THEY ARE NOW CONFRONTING.

NOW THAT ISRAEL IS RETALIATING WITH ABOUT A BOMBING CAMPAIGN AND THREATS OF A GROUND INVASION.

SO THAT RESOLUTION WAS APPROVED THIS AFTERNOON ON A VOICE VOTE.

ALDERMAN VIRGINIA SANCHEZ WAS THE ONLY PERSON TO ASKED TO BE RECORDED AS VOTING BEFORE THIS HAPPENED TO ME WAS KIND OF UNPRECEDENTED SITUATION WHERE THINGS GOT SO TESTING THE COUNCIL CHAMBERS AT THE MERE BASICALLY THE CLEAR EVERYBODY OUT.

THAT'S RIGHT.

WHEN ALDERMAN SILVER ROSE TO SPEAK, SHE WAS HECKLED BY MEMBERS IN THE GALLERY SHOUTING PRIEST, FREE PALESTINE, INCUR AND ACCUSING HER OF INCURRING ENCOURAGING GENOCIDE AGAINST THE PALESTINIAN PEOPLE.

THAT PROMPTED MAYOR BRANDON JOHNSON WAS BEN DEEPLY RELUCTANT TO REMOVE PEOPLE FROM THE CITY COUNCIL EVEN WHEN THEY'RE CREATING DISTURBANCES TO CLEAR THE ENTIRE SECOND FLOOR GALLERY.

PARIS, YOU KNOW, I'VE BEEN COVERING CITY HALL FOR LONGER THAN I SHOULD PROBABLY ADMIT POLITE COMPANY.

NEVER SEEN THAT HAPPEN BEFORE.

SO IT'S CERTAINLY A PRESIDENT, BUT IT SEEMS LIKE A NO ONE HEARD OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT IN A RESOLUTION APPROVED.

SURE, A STOUT.

I MEAN, THIS IS SUCH A CONTENTIOUS THING TO TALK ABOUT.

OBVIOUSLY A HUMANITARIAN CRISIS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW.

A WAR HAPPENING RIGHT NOW.

BUT IS THERE ROOM FOR NUANCE HERE?

>> WHEN FOLKS TALK ABOUT WHAT'S HAPPENING.

>> THERE HAS TO FIND A WAY BECAUSE WE GOT TO HAVE SOME PEAS OTHERWISE THE CORE OF ALL OF US IS GETTING DESTROYED.

WHY ANGER AND THE HATRED BETWEEN BOTH SIDES.

AND SO WE HAVE TO LOOK AT IT WITH PEACE AND HOPE THAT SOMEHOW SOME OF THE WAY THROUGH SOME SORT RESOLUTION.

AND I DON'T KNOW IT'S EVER GOING TO HAPPEN BECAUSE I WE'VE SEEN THIS FOR YEARS AND YEARS AND YEARS IN OUR LIFETIME.

BUT THIS SEEMS TO BE A FLASH POINT OF WHAT'S GOING IT.

AND AGAIN, WE DO WANT TO UNDERSCORE THE TRAGEDY OF WHAT'S HAPPENING RIGHT NOW, RICK PEARSON.

BUT IN TERMS OF HOW >> JOURNALISTS COVER MEAN, THERE'S THERE'S A LOT OF EMPHASIS ON ON THE ATTACKS ON ISRAELIS.

AND THEN THERE'S FOLKS THAT THAT THERE SHOULD BE A BROADER CONTEXT HERE IN TERMS OF THE HUMANITARIAN CRISIS PLAY ON AND THEN THE HISTORY OF WHAT'S HAPPENED IN THE WEST BANK.

WELL, AS YOU'RE DEALING WITH KIND THE TRADITIONAL JOURNALISM OF THE HERE AND NOW FOR SAYS >> DEEP DIVE KIND OF STORY AND THE MORE CAN TEXT TWO-STORY.

AND I THINK, YOU KNOW, ACTUALLY THERE HAS TO BE ROOM FOR BOTH.

I MEAN, THE BRUTALITY OF THE MURDERS THAT HAMAS COMMITTED IN THE KIDNAPPINGS ARE, YOU KNOW, THAT IS EVERYBODY SAYS THAT'S THEIR 9, 0, 9.11 IN ISRAEL.

AND NOW AS THIS WAR CONTINUES TO DEVELOP AND AGAINST AGAINST.

WE DO NEED SOME NEW ONES HERE BECAUSE EVERYTHING HAS BECOME IS CHERYL.

SO IT'S BOTH YOU KNOW, GOT TO BE HERE.

YOU'VE GOT TO BE HERE.

YOU CAN'T NEW WANTS THINGS.

THERE'S PLENTY OF ROOM FOR CONTEXT HERE, THAT WE GOT SO CONTENTIOUS IN CITY COUNCIL BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, AND THAT'S WHERE IT CAME DOWN TO THE LANGUAGE YOU KNOW, CONDEMNING.

>> HAMAS A I GUESS, EXPANDING TO TO THE THE BROADER CONTEXT, RIGHT?

I THINK WHAT ALDERMAN RICHARD SANCHEZ WAS ASKING PEOPLE TO DO WAS TO HOLD 2 COMPETING THOUGHTS AT THE SAME TIME YOU CAN OPPOSE HAMAS, WHICH IS DECLARED TERRORIST ORGANIZATION THAT ADMITTEDLY MURDERED CIVILIANS, BABIES, WOMEN, THERE'S AND THERE'S NO DEBATE ABOUT THAT.

BUT AT THE SAME TIME, YOU CAN RECOGNIZE THE PALESTINIAN PEOPLE HAVE BEEN LIVING REALLY TERRIBLE CONDITIONS FOR DECADES WITHOUT ANY REALLY HOPE OF A OF A HOMELAND AND SORT OF SELF-DETERMINATION.

I THINK THAT'S WHAT SHE WAS ASKING FOR.

ON THE OTHER HAND, OTHER SILVERSTEIN SIMPLY THAT'S FINE.

WE CAN HAVE THAT DISCUSSION.

NOW IS THE TIME TO CONDEMN THE LARGEST ATTACK ON JEWISH PEOPLE SENSE THE HOLOCAUST.

WE CAN DEAL WITH THE REST LATER.

BUT NOW WE HAVE TO STAND WITH AN ALLY THAT'S BEEN THE VICTIM OF A SIGNIFICANT TERROR ATTACK, WHICH SHE LIKENED TO SEPTEMBER 11TH AS WELL.

BE THE THESE DEBATES TO HAPPEN ACROSS THE COUNTRY IN THE WORLD.

WE'VE ALSO TALKED >> SOME SOME POSSIBLE THREATS TO PLACES IN CHICAGO THAT THE POLICE ARE WATCHING, THOUGH, NO KNOWN THREATS RIGHT NOW, ALLERGIC IS PRESENT TO BEGIN LET'S GET TALKING ABOUT THE BUDGET.

>> ONE LITTLE ASPECT OF THIS BUDGET HERE 100, 50 MILLION DOLLARS SET ASIDE FOR NEW ARRIVAL SERVICES.

THE COST IS BUT A LOT MORE THAN THAT SO SO FAR THIS YEAR.

I THINK WE'RE READY.

PASS 300 MILLION THAT SECT.

HEATHER.

>> SO THAT'S LESS THAN HALF A THEY'VE SPENT SO FAR AND I DON'T KNOW THAT THERE IS.

I'M GOING TO BE A STOP TO THE PEOPLE ARRIVING.

SO WE SEE THAT WE SEE THAT NUMBER INCREASING DAY BY DAY, MOSTLY.

AND SO WHAT MAYOR'S OFFICE IS SAYING, THOUGH, THAT THEY ONLY BUT ONE 50 ASIDE BECAUSE THEY WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT STATE AND FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ALSO REALIZE AND ACKNOWLEDGE HOW DIFFICULT IT IS FOR THE CITY TOO.

YOU KNOW, USE THAT MONEY THE MIGRANTS AND THEY WANT THEM TO ALSO PARTICIPATE AND FINDING A SOLUTION THAT WAS GOING TO SAY WE'RE NOT EAGER TO GO BACK AND APPROVE SOME KIND OF A NEW STATE MONEY FROM THE WEST?

WELL, I THINK YOU WOULD HARD PRESSED TO HAVE THE LEGISLATURE APPROVE.

>> A SUPPLEMENTAL, A NEW STATE MONEY HERE.

AND THAT MEAN, WE'RE SEEING IN THIS MIGRANT CRISIS, THE KIND OF SUFFERING OF THE FABRIC OF SOME OF THE BASE OF THE DEMOCRATIC WITH UNDERSERVED POPULATIONS SAYING, OK, WE RECOGNIZE THE ASPECT OF THIS.

BUT WHERE WAS THIS MONEY WE HAVE THESE HOMELESS PEOPLE?

WHERE WAS THIS OUR NEIGHBORHOODS WERE CRUMBLING.

>> WHY ALL OF A SUDDEN NOW.

AND I THINK I I THINK VOTE WOULD FLAT OUT LOSE IN THE ILLINOIS HOUSE.

WE HEARD MAYOR BRANDON JOHNSON ACKNOWLEDGE THAT TODAY IN A VIRTUAL PRESS BRIEFING WITH REPORTERS SAYING THAT HE PLANNED TO ASK FOR MORE MONEY TO CARE FOR THE MIGRANTS AS PART OF THE REGULAR BUDGET PROCESS THAT KICKS IN JANUARY, WHICH I THINK IS AN ACKNOWLEDGEMENT THAT WITH BOTH GOVERNOR JB PRITZKER AND HOUSE SPEAKER EMANUEL, CHRIS WELCH COMING OUT AND TOSSING NOT JUST A LITTLE BIT OF COLD WATER BUT A WHOLE BUCKET COLD WATER ON THIS PROPOSAL REALIZING THAT THIS IS GOING TO HAVE TO BE ESSENTIALLY A FIGHT FOR THE CITY'S MID-YEAR BUDGET AND THE STATE'S REGULAR BUDGET PROCESS ALSO ABOUT THE FEDERAL GO WELL, AND THAT WAS JUST GOING TO SAY, THAT'S THAT'S REALLY BEEN THE ADVICE FROM ILLINOIS LEADERS LIKE PRITZKER AND WELSH IS CALL JOE BIDEN RIGHT?

CALL JOE BIDEN.

DOESN'T LIKE ANYONE IS READY TO THE REST.

ONE WHO'S IN CHARGE THAT CONGRESS RIGHT NOW, DON'T HAVE FUNCTIONAL CONGRESS TO DO MUCH.

OBVIOUSLY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IN THE WHITE HOUSE COULD REPURPOSE CERTAIN MONIES AND GRANTS >> BUT I MEAN, I DO THINK, YOU KNOW, IN AN OVERALL SENSE WHAT YOU MIGHT BE SEEING HERE IS THAT GREG ABBOTT, THE GOVERNOR OF TEXAS, THAT WANT TALK ABOUT I MEAN, THIS IS EXACTLY THE KIND OF POLITICAL INFIGHTING, THE KIND CRISIS AS WELL AS WELL AS SEEING IS WHAT THEY WANT AS WELL AS HAVING DEMOCRATIC LEADERS ACKNOWLEDGE ACKNOWLEDGE WHAT THOSE PROBLEMS GOING FOR A WHILE OR YOU WANT TO JUMP YEAH, IT WAS JUST GOING TO SAY THAT, YOU IT'S.

>> JUST THEY'RE FORGETTING THE HUMAN ASPECT OF IT THE RIGHT WE TALK SO MUCH ABOUT MONEY.

AND AT THE END OF THE DAY, YES, GREG ABBOTT GOT WHAT HE WANTED.

BUT SO WE WALK AROUND THE STREETS AND >> WE SEE PEOPLE BABY SLEEPING ON THE GROUND IT AND I DON'T WANT TO PUT COLD.

YES, AND IT'S AND I THINK THAT RIGHT THERE HAS BEEN AND YOU CAN, YOU KNOW, TREMENDOUS, HEATHER, BUT I BELIEVE THAT THERE'S BEEN A PUSH TO ALSO HAVE OTHER CITIES STEP IN AND HELP.

BUT I DON'T KNOW THAT THAT'S BEEN VERY WELL RECEIVED.

JULIET'S MAYOR, WAS AGAINST THE 8.6 MILLION DOLLARS THE STATE HAD ALLOCATE UP TO HELP MIGRANTS AND JULIET.

AND I THINK THAT THEY WEREN'T EXPECTING FOR THAT WAS MORE OF THE WAY THAT JOLIET TOWNSHIP.

HANDLE AND THAT THAT MEETING WITH THIS, WHAT WE SEE IN THE CITY OF CHICAGO TO BECAUSE ONCE AGAIN THIS WEEK.

>> MORE PUSHBACK TO POTENTIAL SHELTERS FOR A, FOR INSTANCE, IN AHMANSON PARK, RIGHT?

YEAH.

I MEAN, STILL OPEN QUESTION OF WHERE THESE MASSIVE WINTER ICE BASE CAMPS ARE GOING TO GO.

HOW QUICKLY CAN THEY BE DIRECTED?

BUT LAURA IS EXACTLY CORRECT.

THERE ARE SOMEWHERE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD 4,000 PEOPLE SLEEPING AT POLICE STATIONS AND O'HARE.

AND I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE START TO CENTER THEIR PLIGHT, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE FALL IS HERE.

IT IS NOT SUMMER ONLY GOING TO GET COLDER WE DO FOR PROCESSING SOME OF THESE PEOPLE MAY GETTING HIM SOME WORK BE ABLE TO WORK AND I THINK THAT IT GOES BACK TO MONEY, UNFORTUNATELY, BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH BIDEN'S MOVE, WHICH IS THE I THINK THE ONLY >> MOVE FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE CRISIS HAS BEEN TO EXTEND TPS, WHICH IS A TEMPORARY PROTECTED STATUS, WHICH LET'S REALLY ALLOW WORK PERMITS.

BUT THE PROCESS TO DO THAT IS VERY, VERY SLOW PEOPLE I HAVE TO PAY AND THEY HAVE TO PAY AT LEAST 500.

IT'S A $500 BUT A VERY BIG, YOU KNOW, THING HAPPENING HERE NOW IS THAT THERE IS THAT ENOUGH LEGAL?

2 ARE LIKE, YOU KNOW, PRO BONO ATTORNEYS.

THESE PEOPLE ARE IN THIS NEW CITY.

THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO ACCESS SO IT.

I DON'T KNOW I CAN.

I CAN SEE WHITE CITY STILL HAS NO PLAN.

SAY BECAUSE THAT AND RIGHT NOW HE'S BEEN PRITZKER'S WARNING THAT IT'S GOING TO GET COLD, RIGHT?

THAT'S ONLY THING THAT IS MONEY SPEAKING.

THE FEDERAL MONEY ASPECT OF IT.

THERE'S A SORT CATHOLIC CHARITIES GETTING 48 MILLION DOLLARS TO FEMA.

A LOT OF THAT USED TO MIGRANTS HERE.

MEANWHILE, CHICAGO ONLY GOTTEN REPORTED 7 MILLION DOLLARS FROM FEMA THAT SOME LIKEN IMBALANCE HERE AND HOW THIS MONEY IS BEING SPENT.

>> YOU THINK AND CATHOLIC CHARITIES, WHICH IS AGENCY THAT'S GETTING THAT MONEY TOUGH.

>> YOU KNOW, TO FLY THE MIGRANTS TO CHICAGO IS ALSO A CITY CONTRACTOR IN CHARGE OF FINDING MORE PERMANENT HOUSING FOR THESE SAME MIGRANTS.

SO I THINK WHAT THIS CRISIS HAS SHOWN IS THAT THE ENTIRE SYSTEM HAS MULTIPLE FAULTS AND MULTIPLE BREAK POINTS AND I'M HARD PRESSED TO THINK OF A PART OF THE SYSTEM THAT HAS FUNCTIONED AS DESIGNED OR AS INTENDED AT TO THE DETRIMENT OF AGAIN, THE MEN, THE WOMEN, THE CHILDREN WHO ARE SLEEPING UNHOUSED OUTSIDE POLICE STATIONS.

DO WE KNOW ANY MORE ABOUT THIS GARDAWORLD CONTRACT FOR POTENTIAL 30 MILLION DOLLARS TO BUILD THOSE WINTER HAS 10 CITIES THAT WE'RE LAST WEEK.

WE HAVEN'T THE FOR THE NEXT STEP IS FOR THE MAYOR TO SAY I WANT TO BUILD EAST TAMPA CAMPS HERE.

I MENTION THERE WILL BE SOME SORT OF COMMUNITY BUT HE HAS THE AUTHORITY TO EXECUTE THAT CONTRACT HAS NOT BEEN EXECUTED YET.

THE BIG QUESTION WILL BE HOW IF THOSE CAMPS ARE BUILT, WHERE THEY BUILT AND HOW ARE THEY RUN AND WHAT SORT OF PROTECTIONS ARE IN PLACE FOR THE PEOPLE WILL BE LIVING THERE AND WHAT SORT OF CONDITIONS WILL THOSE TENSE IN TALE AND AGAIN, TO UNDERSCORE JUST HOW DIFFICULT THIS IS, THE DEPUTY MAYOR IN CHARGE OF THIS, CHRISTINA PASCUCCI IS A SHE GOES TO THESE >> COMMITTEE HEARINGS AND SHE GETS PUSHED BACK ON THAT.

DEFINITELY.

I I'VE BEEN TO A COUPLE OF THOSE MEETINGS.

I THINK THAT WHAT RICK MENTIONED EARLIER IS EXACTLY WHAT THEY'RE >> ECHOING AND THEIR PLEA IS SORT OF LIKE, WHERE IS THIS MONEY COMING FROM NOW?

WHY WASN'T HERE FOR US?

YOU KNOW, THEY CONTINUE TO SAY WE IT'S NOT THAT WE DON'T WANT TO SUPPORT THE MIGRANTS, WHICH SOUNDS ALMOST CLICHE, BUT WE DO HOPE THAT THERE IS A PLAN TO ALSO HELP OUR COMMUNITIES AND THE LONG-TERM RIGHT.

INVEST IN OUR COMMUNITIES.

LONG TERM.

AND I THINK THAT AT THIS PLANT I THINK THAT THE MAYOR, WE KNOW THERE'S NO FINALIZE PLANNED ON THE 10 CITIES.

BUT I HAVE WE YOU SOURCES TOLD US THAT THERE HAS BEEN MORE MOVE MEANT TO OPEN MORE SHELTERS AND THEY'RE NO LONGER.

LOOKING FOR VERY SPECIFIC BUILDINGS.

JUST HOPING TO FIND WAREHOUSES.

STILL, THOUGH, THE SHELTER IN POLSON, IT WAS AN EMPTY WAREHOUSE AND THERE, YOU SO THAT PEOPLE ARE NOT OUT IN THE STREETS, RED LIGHTS.

IT'S AFFECTING PROBABLY BEEN TALK ABOUT OR WEAKEN.

IT DOES SEEM LIKE IT'S JUST GOING TO GET WORSE AS THE WEATHER.

>> GOES DOWN TO TALK ABOUT THE BROADER OVERALL BUDGET, 16 BILLION DOLLAR SPENDING PLAN.

538 MILLION DOLLARS SHORTFALL.

RICK PEARSON CLOSING THAT SHORTFALL.

THE MAYOR IS TALKING ABOUT.

>> THE THINGS THAT OTHER MAYORS HAVE TALKED ABOUT EFFICIENCIES AND TIFF REVENUE AND 186 MILLION DOLLARS AND QUOTE, IMPROVED REVENUE PROJECTIONS.

DOES THIS SOUND LIKE REAL NUMBERS HERE KNOW BUT IT'S NEVER I MEAN, BUT I MEAN, YOU KNOW, IT'S IT'S CLOSE ENOUGH FOR BUDGET FOR GOVERNMENT WORK KIND OF THING.

I MEAN, CERTAINLY WE HAVE SEEN THE MONEY IS REAL MONEY.

AND BUT AGAIN, THE PURPOSE OF IS TO GENERATE WITHIN THAT IF NOT AS A GENERATING GENERAL OPERATING KIND OF EXPENSE LINE.

>> MEAN, ONE THING IN ANY OTHER YEAR, I WOULD GIVE GREAT DEAL OF CREDIT FOR UPLOADING THE PENSION FUND IT RIGHT, WHICH IS SOMETHING, YOU BUT MORE AND THEN STATUTORILY WITH THAT.

AND THAT'S THAT'S A GOOD THING.

BUT WHEN YOU HAVE THESE OTHER CHALLENGES CONFRONTING YOU, I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S NECESSARILY APPROPRIATE.

SOME OF OTHER SHARON, YOU KNOW, THE MAYOR WAS ELECTED ON THESE PROGRESSIVE PROMISES.

HE TALKED ABOUT 800 MILLION DOLLARS IN NEW REVENUE HE WANTED TO FIGHT FOR.

HE'S NOT REALLY GETTING ANY OF THAT.

AND MUCH OF THAT IS GOING TO HAVE TO COME FROM THE STATE.

IT'S GOING TO BE VERY TOUGH.

>> SO ARE PROGRESSIVES HAPPY THAT THEY'RE ONLY, YOU KNOW, A FEW LITTLE BABY ALONG THE WAY TO SORT OF HIS BROADER AGENDA WITH THIS BUDGET.

I MEAN, THERE'S A REASON WHY BRANDON JOHNSON SPENT MOST OF THE PAST MONTH TELLING REPORTERS THAT HE WASN'T GOING TO HAVE 4 BUDGETS TO INTRODUCES MAYOR AND THAT THIS WAS JUST A FIRST STEP AND THAT NOBODY EXPECTED OR SHOULD EXPECT HIM TO SOLVE GENERATIONAL PROBLEMS IN CHICAGO WITH DISINVESTMENT ON THE SOUTH AND THE WEST SIDE AND SORT OF A TAXATION SYSTEM THAT PERHAPS FALLS HARDEST ON WORKING CLASS CHICAGOANS AND NOT THE WEALTHIEST CHICAGOANS.

>> HE SAYS THIS BUDGET STARTS TO SORT OF RIGHT THE SHIP, BUT IT'S LIKE A TITANIC OCEAN LINER, RIGHT?

YOU CAN'T YOU CAN'T MAKE ANY SUDDEN MOVES BECAUSE THE WHOLE THING FALLS APART.

BUT THERE'S A WHOLE LOT ICEBERG YES.

AND JUST ONE.

YES.

SO, YOU KNOW, THERE ARE 2 NEW MENTAL HEALTH CLINICS THAT WILL OPEN AN EXISTING FACILITIES.

I THINK THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT FOR THE PROGRESSIVE MOVEMENT.

IT ALSO SORT OF SOLIDIFIES AS PART OF THE CITY'S OPERATIONAL SYSTEM IS THE ALTERNATE POLICE RESPONSE TO 9-1-1.

CALLS FROM PEOPLE SUFFERING FROM MENTAL HEALTH CARE.

I THINK THAT IS ALSO CRUCIAL.

THERE'S ALSO AN UNDERSTANDING THAT THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, I THINK FUNDAMENTALLY HAS TO CHANGE.

NOW THE BUDGET ISN'T CHANGING.

THE BUDGET FOR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT WILL JUST BE A HAIR UNDER 2 BILLION DOLLARS IN 2024.

IF THIS PROPOSAL APPROVED AND I THINK THAT'S GOING TO BE A LITTLE BIT TOUGH FOR SOME PROGRESSIVE GROUPS TO SWALLOW.

HOWEVER, BRANDON JOHNSON SAYS, LOOK, I'M TAKING 400 OFFICER POSITIONS THAT SWORN OFFICERS MAKING THOSE POSITIONS AVAILABLE TO CIVILIANS.

AND HE SAYS THAT IS GOING TO START TO CHANGE THE WAY THAT THE POLICE DEPARTMENT OPERATES TO ADDRESS ROOT CAUSES OF CRIME AS OPPOSED TO SORT OF ARRESTING PEOPLE.

AND ANOTHER LITTLE NUGGET IN HERE, THE REOPENING OF A DEPARTMENT OF THE ENVIRONMENT, WHICH SOMETHING THAT PROGRESSIVES HAD WANTED TO SHARE A STARTING HAPPY THAT.

>> YOUR PROPERTY TAXES ARE GOING TO GO UP AT NOT EVEN WITH INFLATION OR ARE YOU WORRIED THAT THAT MEANS THAT THERE'S GOING TO BE CLIFF DOWN THE ROAD?

>> WELL, I DON'T LIVE IN I MEASURE IF YOU ARE A HOMEOWNER, THAT'S WHEN THE NEW VERY CONCERNED WITH THING I LIKED ABOUT THE BUDGET I SAW WAS ADDING MORE JOBS FOR THE FOR THE KIDS ARE REALLY WANTING TO WORK, YOU KNOW, GIVING THEM MORE OPPORTUNITIES BECAUSE IF YOU COULD GET THESE KIDS FEEL GOOD ABOUT THEMSELVES, EARNING SOME MONEY WORKING THAT CAN SOME OF THE PROBLEMS WITH WITH THE OTHER ISSUES GOES ON WITH THE CITY WILL START ANOTHER BIG PART OF A MAYOR.

JOHNSON'S PLAN CURE.

WE'VE GOT TO TALK ABOUT SOME NATIONAL RICK PEARSON, SO.

>> JIM JORDAN APPARENTLY HAS GOTTEN THE >> GOP NOT TO AT LEAST RUN FOR SPEAKER NOW.

BUT DOES THAT MEAN HE HAS THE VOTES TO DO IT?

KNOW HE DOES NOT HAVE THE THERE WERE 81 VOTES AGAINST HIM IN THE CAUCUS >> IT'S UNLIKELY THAT HE WILL GET THE VOTES JUST THE SAME WAY THAT STEVE SCHOOLIES, WHO WAS PROBABLY A MUCH MORE PALATABLE CHOICE.

HE COULDN'T GET THE VOTES.

THIS IS THIS IS JUST GOING TO KEEP CONTINUING.

I MEAN, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU LOOK AT JIM JORDAN, HE'S CO-FOUNDER OF THE FREEDOM CAUCUS, WHICH IS ONE OF THE MOST ELEMENTS.

THAT ONE OF THE MOST UNABASHED UNAPOLOGETIC DEFENDERS OF PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING TRUMP DO NO WRONG.

ACCORDING TO JENNY, WAS THAT TRUMP HAD TRUMP'S ENDORSEMENT IN THIS RACE AND TO HAVE 81 REPUBLICANS VOTE AGAINST HIM.

I THINK AT THAT CAUGHT MY WELL, ESPECIALLY AFTER HAVING LOST POLICE THE FIRST ROUND.

>> I I DON'T KNOW THAT THIS PLAYS OUT ANYTIME SOON.

>> ONE OF THE OTHER THINGS WAS THEY WANT TO RULE TO TRY TO KEEP KEEP IT ALL BEHIND CLOSED DOORS AND NEEDED TO 17 TO GET TO BE SPEAKER.

THAT RULE.

THAT VOTE SOUNDS.

SO THEN IT'S ALL GOING TO ROLL OUT ON THE FLOOR AND IT CAN BE A MESS.

SO THERE'S GOING TO BE ANOTHER CONTINUING RESOLUTION VOTING IN LESS THAN A MONTH HERE.

A COUPLE WEEKS, ACTUALLY.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR THAT?

WHEN THERE'S NO >> ORGANIZATION STRUCTURE THE HOUSE TO GET ANYTHING DONE.

WELL, IT COMES BACK TO PLAYING THAT SAME GAME OF WHO'S TO BLAME.

WHERE'S THE PLAIN JACKET OF IF GOVERNMENTS GOING TO SHUT DOWN AND THE TROUBLE IS WITHOUT SPEAKER.

THERE'S NOBODY TO MAKE THAT LEGISLATION HAPPENED.

THEY CAN'T CONDUCT REGULAR BUSINESS UNLESS OF THE HOUSE PARLIAMENTARIAN COMES UP WITH SOME CLEVER WAY TO FIGURE OUT SOMETHING.

ALL RIGHT.

ALSO NATIONAL POLICIES.

ANYONE THINK IT'S INTERESTING.

THE GOVERNOR PRITZKER LAST SENDS A STRONGLY WORDED LETTER TO PRESIDENT BIDEN SAYING, PLEASE HELP YOU'RE NOT DOING ENOUGH THIS WEEK STUMPS FOR IS HE AN ASSET TO THE PRESIDENT?

HEATHER, POLITICALLY, DO YOU CERTAINLY SO I THINK THAT HE SPOKE OUT SPECIFICALLY THIS WEEK BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, HE'S JEWISH.

HE'S OF UKRAINIAN HERITAGE, WHICH I THINK GIVES HIM SORT OF MORAL STANDING TO SPEAK AT A MOMENT WHEN ISRAEL IS UNDER ATTACK.

AND THAT'S WHY WE SAW PRESIDENT BIDEN'S CAMPAIGN BLAST OUT HIS REMARKS.

PRITZKER'S ALSO SHOWN HIMSELF TO HAVE SOME SHARP ELBOWS ON THE NATIONAL POLITICAL STAGE.

HE SAID WE SHOULD NOT THINK OF PRESIDENT BIDEN'S AGE IS A DETRIMENT.

WE SHOULD SEE HIM SOMEBODY WHO IS AGED INTO A GEM.

WELL, SOMEBODY LIKE FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP >> HAS ONLY BECOME WORSE WITH AGE AND THAT IS SOME STRAIGHT UP POLITICAL FISTICUFFS.

AND FOR SOMEBODY WHO HAS BEEN A FREQUENT AND ROBUST DONOR, IT DOES NOT HURT TO HAVE, YOU KNOW, A BILLIONAIRE IN YOUR BACK POCKET.

AND THAT IS WHY PRESIDENT BIDEN IS GOING TO KEEP HIM CLOSE.

ALTHOUGH THE ISSUE OF THE MIGRANTS IS CERTAINLY GOING TO CAUSE TENSION YOUR BACK.

POCKET REMIND YOU TO REMEMBER OR HOW MANY TIMES.

>> THEY WERE HERE, BIDEN KAMALA HARRIS.

THE ISSUE OF MIGRANTS NUMBER CAME DURING AND NOW WE'VE GOT THE DNC IN 2024.

AND THAT'S SOMETHING REPUBLICANS MINES AND WHAT HOW THAT'S GOING TO AFFECT WHAT PLAYS OUT NEXT SUMMER.

ALRIGHT, KIND OF AUTHORITY SCORES.

HIS FIRST GOAL.

SURE RACE, THOUGH, TO THE SUPER EARLY IS HE LIVING UP TO THE HYPE?

>> HE'S REALLY, REALLY ONE OF THOSE PLAYERS THAT YOU LIKE TO WATCH WHAT HE DOES COMPLETELY ON THE ICE.

THE INTERESTING THING AFTER HE SCORED THE GOAL AND THEY LOST AGAIN.

THEY HAD A PICTURE HIM HOLDING UP GOAL AND HE DIDN'T HAVE A SMILE HIS FACE THE DAY BEFORE WHEN THEY WANTED.

THEY HAD HIS SAYS TEA AT THE SMILE.

THE KIDS UNDERSTAND WHAT HE MEANS TO THE NHL AND THE GAMES THAT THEY PLAY.

THEY'VE BEEN PLAYING IN THE NATIONAL TELEVISION.

THEY'RE GETTING GREAT NUMBERS AND YOU WATCH THIS.

THIS YOUNG MAN AND YOU JUST GET THE STUDY SKILLS.

I THINK THE OTHER PLAYERS DON'T KNOW THAT THEY YOU KNOW, ON THE ICE.

HE'S HE'S VERY, VERY TO ME.

HE REMINDS ME JONATHAN TOEWS PERSONALLY, HE'S GOT THAT CALM DEMEANOR.

HE TALKS TO US.

HE DOESN'T GET HIGH.

DOESN'T GET LOW.

JUST REALLY HAS JUST WAVE DEALING WITH THE MEDIA AT 18.

HE JUST TURNED 18 THAT SUCH A YOUNG AGE THINK THAT HE'S DOING THIS ALREADY KNOW, THOUGH HE'S PROBABLY BEEN IN THE SPOTLIGHT IN BEING A PHENOM IS ALL CLEARED.

THE RE PIERSON.

>> DOES THAT ONE THING ABOUT THAT FIRST GOAL?

AND IT'S FUNNY BECAUSE THE WAY REMAINS SHOWS THE WRAPAROUND.

BUT IF YOU SAW THE PLAY LEADING UP TO WITH IT STARTS WITH HIM.

MAKING A BACKHANDED >> OF ALLYING PASS.

THAT WAS PART OF THE SET UP THAT EVENTUALLY LED FOR HIM TO BE ABLE ALSO WATCH IS KEVIN KRASINSKI DEFENSEMAN.

HE'S GOT REALLY GOOD SKILLS TO IT, THOUGH.

HE'S 19 AND WITH LUCAS REICHEL, WHO'S WHO'S 21?

THEIR TOP PROSPECTS?

THOSE 3 PLAYERS ARE GOING TO BE INTERESTING TO WATCH TO SEE THEM GROW.

>> ALL WE'RE ALSO WATCHING A JUSTIN FIELDS GROW AS BEARS QUARTERBACK AT THE LAST 2 GAMES HAVE BEEN PRETTY GOOD.

CAN HE KEEP IT UP AGAINST MINNESOTA?

MINNESOTA'S WENT ON FOR 2 SUMMERS THAT THAT'S NOT A REAL >> IT'S GOING TO BE INTERESTING BECAUSE THEY'VE LOST 3 OF THE RUNNING BACKS AND THE FACT THERE'S ONE OF THEM RIGHT THERE.

CLEARLY HER BIRTH A HEALTHY.

THEY PROVIDE THEY THEY OUT.

HE'S OUT FOR WEEKS, AT LEAST.

SO YOU HAVE IF A PROBLEM BECAUSE YOU NEED TO PASS PROTECTION FROM YOUR RUNNING BACK.

BUT THEY HAVE ANDREA FOREMAN WHO'S WHO'S A VETERAN.

SO THAT SHOULD HELP.

BUT THE FACT A DJ MOORE IS EVERYTHING THAT THEY WANTED IT WITH IT.

WITH RECEIVER NEW ONE RECEIVER FOR JUSTIN FIELDS IT.

BUT YOU'RE GOING TO SEE DOUBLE COVERAGE WITH HIM.

SO DO NAIL MOONEY AND COLE KMET REALLY HAVE TO BE THERE TO STEP UP TO STEP UP BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, A DJ MOORE HAD 230 YARDS PASSING DARNELL MOONEY AND ZEROS.

AND NOW GOING TO BE UP A, YOU KNOW, THE OPPORTUNITIES.

AND I HAVE TO THINK THAT.

>> DEFENDERS GOING TO TRY AND JUMP THESE ROUTE PICK JUSTIN FIELDS OFF BECAUSE HE'S LIKE ZEROED IN AND THEY BLITZ A LOT.

MINNESOTA BLITZ A LOT.

INTERESTING HOW THE OFFENSIVE LINE CAN HANDLE THAT, TOO.

BUT I WAS TALKING TO DARNELL MOONEY BY MYSELF YESTERDAY.

>> AND WE HAD A GREAT CONVERSATION AND HE KNOWS THAT HE'S COULD BE ABLE TO GET SOME TARGETS NOW BECAUSE EVERYONE IS GOING TO BE LOOKING AT DJ MOORE.

SO IT COULD BE REALLY IMPORTANT TO HIM AFTER NOT HAVING, YOU KNOW, AND IT CATCHES LAST FEW WEEKS IN SO THAT'S THAT'S ONE TO WATCH.

ALL RIGHT.

IT'S ONE THING.

IT'S CATCHING IT WHEN YOU ARE THE TARGET MINNESOTA, ONE IN 4.

BUT THEY SEEM LIKE THEY'RE BETTER THAN THEIR RECORD.

WHAT'S YOUR PREDICTION IS BASED THEY >> MEAN, KIRK COUSINS MAY END UP GETTING TRADED BEAT BY THE TRADE DEADLINE THAT, YEAH, IT KIND OF MIX THAT DIDN'T HE SAY HE WANTS EXCESS NO TRADE CLAUSE, BUT MAYBE THEY WANT HIM.

TO GO BECAUSE HE HE PROBABLY COULD GO TO A BETTER SITUATION THAN WHAT HE HAS RIGHT NOW.

HE LOST HIS TOP RECEIVER, JUSTIN JEFFERSON WITH THE NUMBER ONE RECEIVER IN THE NFL.

YOU LOSE HIM TO INJURED RESERVE.

THAT'S IT FOR THE UNIT FOR THE SEASON.

AND THAT'S A HUGE LOSS FOR FOR A TEAM LIKE THAT.

SO NOW THERE SHOULD BE A WIN THIS GAME.

ALL RIGHT.

WELL, WE ARE OUT OF TIME.
