TAKING PLACE IN OUR COUNTRY.
>> PRESIDENT TRUMP VISITS
KENOSHA.
HEAR FROM ILLINOIS CONGRESSWOMAN
ON UNREST AND COVID-19.
>> WE ARE CALLING ALL DEBT THE.
>> BLACK LEGISLATIVE OFFICIALS.
PRESIDENT TRUMP'S PAYROLL TAX
DEFERRAL BEGINS TODAY.
THERE ARE MORE HOMICIDES IN
CHICAGO THIS YEAR THAN ALL OF
LAST YEAR AND THERE ARE FOUR
MONTHS LEFT OF 2020.
THE DEATH OF ACTOR CHADWICK
BOSEMAN PUT COLON CANCER IN THE
BLACK COMMUNITY ON THE
SPOTLIGHT.
QUANTUM RESEARCH AND COMPUTING
THAT CAN TRANSFORM THE WORLD.
[♪♪♪]
A DRUMMER WITH INTERNATIONAL
ROOTS RECORDS HIS NEW ALBUM IN
CHICAGO.
>> THERE IS A LOT TO THIS PLACE
THAT WE KEEP DISCOVERING.
>> AND RENOVATIONS AND
REVELATIONS AAT A HISTORIC SOUTH
SIDE TAVERN.
FIRST SOME OF TODAY'S TOP
STORIES.
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP TRAVELED
TO KENOSHA, WISCONSIN TODAY
AGAINST THE WISHES OF THE CITY'S
MAYOR AND OTHER ELECTED
OFFICIALS.
THE VISIT CAME NINE DAYS AFTER A
KENOSHA POLICE OFFICER SHOT
29-YEAR-OLD JACOB BLAKE SEVEN
TIMES IN THE BACK RESULTING IN
PROTESTS AND RIOTS IN THE CITY.
TRUMP TOURED DAMAGED BUILDINGS
AND MET WITH LEADERS OF LOCAL
LAW ENFORCEMENT WHERE HE PRAISED
THEIR EFFORTS.
HE SPOKE OUT AGAINST QUOTE
ANTIPOLICE RHETORIC ACROSS THE
COUNTRY.
>> YOU KNOW THE SAD THING IS YOU
CAN DO 10,000 GREAT JOBS AS A
POLICEMAN OR A POLICEWOMAN.
AND YOU CAN DO AN INCREDIBLE JOB
FOR YEARS AND YOU HAVE ONE BAD
APPLE OR SOMETHING HAPPENS THAT
IS BAD.
AND THAT'S THE NIGHTLY NEWS FOR
THREE WEEKS.
THAT IS ALL THEY TALK ABOUT.
THEY DON'T TALK ABOUT THE
THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF LIVES
YOU SAVE THEY NEVER TALK ABOUT.
>> THREE MORE STATES HAVE BEEN
ADDED TO CHICAGO'S EMERGENCY
TRAVEL ORDERLIES.
TRAVELERS FROM NORTH CAROLINA,
HAWAII AND NEBRASKA WILL NOW BE
REQUIRED TO QUARANTINE FOR
14-DAYS WHEN VISITING OR
RETURNING TO THE CITY.
THEY JOIN 18 OTHER STATES AND
PUERTO RICO.
Dr. ALLISON ARWADY SAYS
NEIGHBORING INDIANA TECHNICALLY
QUALIFIED TO MAKE THE LIST DUE
TO A SURGE IN CASES BUT THE
STATE WAS KEPT OFF DUE TO A
CHANGE IN DATA REPORTING AND
MANY NEW CASES COMING FROM
COLLEGE CAMPUSES.
Dr. ARWADY SAYS INDIANA CAN BE
ADDED NEXT WEEK.
>> WE MADE A DECISION NOT TO PUT
INDIANA ON THE LIST THIS WEEK.
I CERTAINLY, THOUGH, WANT TO LET
CHICAGOANS KNOW THAT WE HAVE
CONCERNS ABOUT INDIANA AND
PARTICULARLY WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU
NOT TO TRAVEL TO COLLEGE AND
UNIVERSITY TOWNS IN INDIANA.
IF WE DON'T SEE IMPROVEMENT
ACROSS THE STATE, WE WILL THEN
ADD THEM NEXT TUESDAY.
>> CHICAGO'S REPORTING AN
AVERAGE OF 348 NEW COVID-19
CASES THIS WEEK.
A SLIGHT DECLINE FROM LAST WEEK.
THE ILLINOIS DEPARTMENT OF
PUBLIC HEALTH IS REPORTING 1500
CONFIRMED CASES OF CORONAVIRUS
SINCE YESTERDAY BRINGING THE
STATE-WIDE TOTAL TO 236,000
CASES.
STATE HEALTH OFFICIALS REPORT 39
ADDITIONAL DEATHS FOR A TOTAL
DEATH TOLL OF MORE THAN 8,000.
AND NOW TO PHIL PONCE AND
MEMBERS OF CONGRESS.
PHIL?
>> BRANDIS AS WE MENTIONED
PRESIDENT TRUMP VISITED KENOSHA
TODAY IN THE WAKE OF THE POLICE
SHOOTING OF A BLACK MAN, JACOB
BLAKE.
AND AFTER 17-YEAR-OLD KYLE RIT
HOUSE WAS --
RITTENHOUSE WAS CHARGED WITH
KILLING TWO PROTESTORS.
THE MAYOR AND THE GOVERNOR ASKED
THE PRESIDENT NOT TO VISIT.
HE WANTED TO THANK LAW
ENFORCEMENT AND HIS PRESIDENTIAL
OPPONENT ATTACKED THE
PRESIDENT'S MOTIVATIONS.
>> ONE OF THE REASONS I'M MAKING
THE TRIP AND GOING TO WISCONSIN
IS WE HAVE HAD SUCH A BIG
SUCCESS IN SHUTTING DOWN WHAT
WOULD BE RIGHT NOW A CITY THAT
WOULD HAVE BEEN KENOSHA, A CITY
THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN BURNT TO
THE GROUND BY NOW.
>> THE INCUMBENT PRESIDENT IS
INCAPABLE OF TELLING US THE
TRUTH INCAPABLE OF FACING THE
FACTS AND INCAPABLE OF HEALING.
HE DOESN'T WANT TO SHED LIGHT HE
WANTS TO GENERATE HEAT AND HE IS
STROKING VIOLENCE IN OUR CITIES.
>> JOINING US TO DISCUSS KENOSHA
AND MUCH MORE ARE CONGRESSMAN
DANNY DAVIS HE IS A DEMOCRAT
WHOSE 7TH DISTRICT INCLUDES
PARTS OF THE WEST SIDE OF
CHICAGO AND NEAR WESTERN
SUBURBS.
AND BRAD SCHNEIDER FROM THE 10TH
DISTRICT WHICH COVERS COOK AND
LAKE COUNTIES.
CONGRESSMAN RODNEY DAVIS.
GENTLEMEN THANK YOU FOR JOINING
US.
CONGRESSMAN RODNEY DAVIS IS THE
PRESIDENT STOKING VIOLENCE AS
CANDIDATE BIDEN ASSERTS?
>> ABSOLUTELY NOT.
THE PRESIDENT SHOULD BE IN
KENOSHA RIGHT NOW.
IT IS A DISASTER.
AND THAT IS WHAT PRESIDENTS DO.
THEY GO AND MAKE SURE THAT WHEN
COMMUNITIES ARE HURTING AND WHEN
WE'VE SEEN THE DESTRUCTION AND
THE DEATH WE'VE EXPERIENCED IN
PLACES LIKE KENOSHA HE NEEDS TO
GO AND I'M GLAD HE DID.
BUT UNFORTUNATELY WE HAVE OTHER
CITIES WHERE WE HAVE LEADERS
THAT ARE LEADERS THAT ARE
AFFECTLESS TO THOSE RIOTING IN
90 STRAIGHT DAYS IN PLACES LIKE
PORTLAND.
THAT'S GOT TO STOP WE CANNOT
HAVE PEOPLE CHANTING DEATH TO
AMERICA IN OUR CITIES.
WE NEED TO RECOLLECT NEED THAT
WE LIVE IN THE GREATEST COUNTRY
IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD.
>> CONGRESSMAN DANNY DAVIS
SPEAKING OF PORTLAND THE MAYOR
SAID BASICALLY WHAT JOE BIDEN
SAYS THAT THE PRESIDENT'S
RHETORIC CREATED AN ATMOSPHERE
WHICH THE VIOLENCE CANNOT COME
AS A SURPRISE.
YOUR REACTION?
>> WELL, I THINK THE PRESIDENT
IS INDEED A DISASTER.
THAT THE PRESIDENT IS A
DISASTER.
RATHER THAN TRYING TO HARMONIZE
RELATIONS AND BRING PEOPLE AND
COMMUNITIES TOGETHER, THE
PRESIDENT'S ACTIONS AND BEHAVIOR
AS WELL AS HIS COMMENTS ARE
DOING JUST THE OPPOSITE.
I CANNOT IMAGINE SOME OF THE
THINGS THE PRESIDENT HAS SAID
RELATIVE TO WHAT'S CAUSING ALL
OF THE TURMOIL THAT IS EXISTING
IN OUR COUNTRY AND I GUESS THE
ONLY THING I CAN HOPE FOR IS
NOVEMBER THE 3 HURRY UP.
HURRY UP AND COME SO WE CAN
ELECT ANOTHER PRESIDENT.
>> CONGRESSMAN SCHNEIDER, THE
GOVERNOR OF WISCONSIN
SPECIFICALLY ASKED THE PRESIDENT
NOT TO COME.
SHOULD HE HAVE TO AVOIDED COMING
TO KENOSHA?
>> THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME ON.
THE TRAGEDY OF KENOSHA IS AN
EXAMPLE OF SOMETHING THAT CALLS
OUT FOR PRESIDENTIAL LEADERSHIP.
I WISH WE HAD A PRESIDENT LIKE
GEORGE BUSH WHO AFTER 9/11 WENT
TO NEW YORK AND WAS ABLE TO
SPEAK AND PULL THE NATION
TOGETHER.
I WISH WE HAD A PRESIDENT LIKE
BARACK OBAMA AFTER CHARLESTON
WENT TO MOTHER EMOONLE AME AND
LIFTED UP THE NATION.
WE HAVE SEEN THIS PRESIDENT'S
UNABLE TO RISE TO THE MOMENT
RATHER THAN UNITING THE COUNTRY
HE HAS SPOKENNED THE
DIVISIVENESS AND CONDEMNED THE
PEACEFUL PROTESTORS AND FAILED
TO CONDEMN A 17-YEAR-OLD MAN WHO
CARRIES A GUN ACROSS STATE LINES
AND ENDS UP IN A SITUATION WHERE
TWO PEOPLE ARE MURDERED.
I WANT THE PRESIDENT TO LEAD US
AND A PRESIDENT WHO CAN UNITE
US.
THIS PRESIDENT HAS DEMONSTRATED
HE IS GOING TO SEEK TO DIVIDE
US.
>> RODNEY DAVIS AS FAR AS THE
16-YEAR-OLD CHARGED WITH THE
KILLINGS THE PRESIDENT DEFENDED
HIM SAYING HE APPEARED TO HAVE
BEEN TRAPPED AND HE MAY HAVE HAD
NO CHOICE TO DO WHAT HE DID.
YOUR THOUGHTS ON THE PRESIDENT'S
COMMENTS REGARDING KYLE
RITTENHOUSE?
>> THE PRESIDENT IS TAKING
QUESTIONS FROM THE MEDIA.
THAT IS SOMETHING THAT
VICE-PRESIDENT OUGHT TO BE ABLE
TO DO, TOO.
IN THE END I WILL LET THE LEGAL
SYSTEM PLAY OUT IN ALL CASES.
WHEN WE TALK ABOUT RHETORIC, I
MEAN I WAS SOMEBODY WHO BECAUSE
OF DANGEROUS RHETORIC COMING
FROM FOLKS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF
THE AISLE FOR YEARS, I HAD TO
DODGE BULLETS ON A BASEBALL
FIELD FROM A CRAZED GUNMAN WHO
WAS A BERNIE BRO SCREAMING
HEALTHCARE AT US WHILE HE WAS
TRYING TO KILL ME AND MY
FRIENDS.
RECENTLY WE SAW SPEAKER PELOSI
CALLING EVERY REPUBLICAN ENEMIES
OF THE STATE.
THAT'S NOT THE TYPE OF RHETORIC
THAT IS CONDUCIVE TO BIPARTISAN
SOLUTIONS.
I CERTAINLY HOPE AND I'VE ASKED
HER TO APOLOGIZE AND SHE HAS YET
TO DO THAT.
LET'S MAKE SURE WE TONE IT DOWN
FROM THE SPEAKER.
I'VE ASKED THE PRESIDENT
NUMEROUS TIMES TO TONE DOWN
RHETORIC.
BUT THIS HEATED POLITICAL
ENVIRONMENT YOU GET PARTISANSHIP
AND THAT IS ONE OF THE GREATEST
THREATS TO OUR COUNTRY.
I THINK THAT IS THE REASON WHY
THE MAYOR AND THE GOVERNOR OF
WISCONSIN ASKED PRESIDENT NOT TO
COME WHEN HE SHOULD BE IN
KENOSHA.
>> LET'S SWITCH GEARS AND
CONGRESSMAN RODNEY DAVIS YOU
MENTIONED SPEAKER PELOSI, THE
WHITE HOUSE CHIEF OF STAFF MARK
MEADOWS APPEARED ON MEET THE
PRESS AND SAID IT'S HOUSE
SPEAKER NANCY PELOSI'S FAULT
THAT THE LATEST CORONAVIRUS
RELIEF BILL HAS BEEN STALLED AND
HERE IS SOME OF WHAT HE HAD TO
SAY.
>> HERE'S THE PROBLEM.
SHE PUTS FORTH A NUMBER SUGGEST
THAT SHE CAME DOWN AND YET SHE
IS WILLING TO TURN DOWN $1.3
TRILLION OF HELP BECAUSE SHE
WOULD RATHER THEM HAVE NOTHING
THAN TO GIVE WAY ON WHAT HER
FANTASY IS.
>> CONGRESSMAN DANNY DAVIS, FAIR
TO BLAME HOUSE SPEAKER NANCY
PELOSI?
>> WELL, YOU KNOW MARK'S OFFICE
WAS NEXT DOOR TO MINE BEFORE HE
BECAME CHIEF OF STAFF.
AND HE IS A GOOD SPIN MASTER.
HE PUTS A SPIN ON THE FACT THAT
WE PASSED THE TRIO ACT WHICH
WOULD HAVE BEEN MORE THAN $3
TRILLION TO WORK ON DEALING WITH
THE CORONAVIRUS.
AND THE REPUBLICANS HAVE BEEN
UNWILLING EVEN TO MEET US
HALFWAY.
WHERE WE NEED TO BE.
AND EVEN THE THREE TRILLION IS
NOT ENOUGH.
WE NEED MORE THAN THAT.
AND SO THE PRESIDENT DID A GOOD
JOB OF SELECTING A SPIN MASTER
LIKE MARK TO BE HIS CHIEF OF
STAFF OF COURSE, I DISAGREE WITH
THAT.
WHOLEHEARTEDLY.
WE NEED THE THREE TRILLION PLUS
MORE.
>> QUICK REACTION FROM RODNEY
DAVIS?
CONGRESSMAN DAVIS?
>> WELL, YOU KNOW, I ENJOYED
SERVING WITH MARK, TOO.
I USED TO SIT ACROSS THE TABLE
AND NEGOTIATE AND I'M SURPRISED
HOW FAR MARK HAS GONE.
HE NEVER WOULD HAVE GONE AS FAR
AS HE DID SITTING ACROSS THE
TABLE FROM US.
I KNOW THE ADMINISTRATION'S
MOVED.
STEVE MNUCHIN TESTIFIED THAT THE
PRESIDENT WANTS TO SEE PROGRESS
BUT JUST THROWING OUT A $3.4
TRILLION WISH LIST THAT THE MOST
LIBERAL JOURNALIST IN WASHINGTON
SAID NEVER WOULD BECOME LAW IS
NOT MEANING THAT IS A GOOD
STARTING POINT.
LET'S FILL THE HOLES THAT EXIST
AND GET OUR ECONOMY GOING AGAIN
BUT LET'S NOT PUT 70 PAGES OF
ELECTION REFORMS THAT HAVE BEEN
ON THE DEMOCRAT'S WISH LIST
SINCE DAY ONE IN THERE AND IN A
PANDEMIC AND IT'S GOING TO LAST
LONGER THAN THE ELECTION?
THAT IS THE TYPE OF NEGOTIATION
WE NEED TO HAVE TO PULL THOSE
THINGS OUT.
>> GENTLEMEN THAT IS WHERE WE
HAVE TO LEAVE IT NOW BUT WE WILL
BE JOINED LATER BY CONGRESSMAN
DANNY DAVIS AND BRAD SCHNEIDER
AND RODNEY DAVIS TO DISCUSS MORE
ON THE U.S. RESPONSE TO THE
PANDEMIC.
GENTLEMEN THANK YOU.
>> AND NOW BRANDIS WE GO BACK TO
YOU.
>> THANK YOU.
>> PROTESTORS HAVE CONSISTENTLY
TAKEN TO THE STREETS SINCE THE
DEATH OF GEORGE FLOYD.
IN CHICAGO AND ACROSS THE
COUNTRY, THERE'S BEEN A DEMAND
FOR CHANGE.
BLACK LEGISLATORS ARE BEGINNING
TO UNVEIL WHAT THEY ENVISION
THAT LOOKING LIKE.
AMANDA VINICKY JOINS US WITH
MORE.
>> BRANDIS, THE ILLINOIS GENERAL
ASSEMBLY BARELY MET THIS YEAR
DUE TO COVID-19 BUT THEY ARE
SCHEDULED TO GET BACK TO
SPRINGFIELD FOR A FEW DAYS IN
NOVEMBER SHORTLY AFTER THE
ELECTION.
AND LOOK FOR THE AGENDA THEN TOE
THE CORONAVIRUS AND POSSIBLE
BUDGET ADJUSTMENTS AND CALLS TO
STOP CORRUPTION AND THE DEMANDS
OF BLACK LEGISLATORS.
>> YOU SEE THIS IS VERY
PERSONAL.
FOR EACH AND EVERYONE OF US.
>> THEY WANT TO CAPITALIZE ON
THE UPRISINGS AND THE ATTENTION
IGNITED BY GEORGE FLOYD'S
KILLING TO BRING AN END TO THE
OPPRESSION AND THE SYSTEMIC
RACISM THAT THE BLACK CAUCUS'
LEADER KIMBERLY LIGHTFORD SAYS
HAS INFILTRATED ALL LEVELS OF
THE LAW, ECONOMY AND GOVERNMENT.
SHE SAYS IT IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO
LEVERAGE A UNIQUE MOMENT SO
BLACK MOMS LIKE HER CAN HAVE
HOPE FOR THE FUTURE.
>> KNOWING THAT OUR CHILDREN AND
OUR GRANDCHILDREN WILL NOT SHARE
THE SAME KIND OF LIFE
EXPERIENCES THAT EVERYONE IN MY
GENERATION AND EVERY GENERATION
BEFORE ME HAS HAD TO ENDURE AS
BLACK AMERICANS.
>> NOW, AT THIS POINT, THE
LEGISLATIVE WISH LIST IS VAGUE
BECAUSE IT IS STILL IN
DEVELOPMENT.
BUT IT IS ORGANIZED AROUND
SEVERAL PILLARS.
AIMING TO FOCUS ON CRIMINAL
JUSTICE, EDUCATION, HEALTHCARE,
ECONOMIC EQUALITY, LEGISLATORS
SAY THEY ARE GOING TO HOLD A
SERIES OF HEARINGS IN THE NEXT
COUPLE OF MONTHS THAT WILL FOCUS
ON THE ISSUES AND THE FIRST
WOULD FOCUS ON POLICING AND IT
TOOK PLACE THIS AFTERNOON.
STATE REPRESENTATIVE SONYA
HARPER SAYS HER CONSTITUENTS
LIVE IN TWO VERSIONS OF CHICAGO.
TWO VERSIONS SHE SAYS THAT
HIGHLIGHT THE NEED FOR
OVERHAULING CRIMINAL JUSTICE,
HOUSING AND LAND USE LAWS.
>> THE ONLY REASON WE ARE HERE
DISCUSSING CRIMINAL JUSTICE
PROBLEMS IS BECAUSE WE HAVE AN
ECONOMIC JUSTICE PROBLEM.
IN OUR COMMUNITY AND OF NO FAULT
OF OUR OWN.
I REPRESENT THE BEAUTIFUL SIXTH
DISTRICT COMPRISED OF VULNERABLE
SOUTH SIDE NEIGHBORHOODS AS WELL
AS THE DOWNTOWN HIGH-RISES.
I REPRESENT ENGLEWOOD AS WELL AS
CITY HALL.
I REPRESENT BACK OF THE YARDS
BUT ALSO RIVER NORTH.
>> WITHOUT CONCRETE MEASURES IT
IS DIFFICULT TO PREDICT WHAT THE
RECEPTION TO BLACK LAWMAKERS'
AGENDA IS GOING TO BE.
BUT SO FAR THE DEMOCRATIC
LEADERS WHO CALLED THIS UP IN
THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY HAVE GIVEN
VAGUE SUPPORT.
DON HARM MON OFFERS THIS.
THE BLACK CAUCUS IS SHOWING US A
BETTER PATH TO ILLINOIS I HOPE
BEING AN ALI IN NEEDED REFORMS.
>> MICHAEL MADIGAN SAYS HE HAS
BEEN REFLECTING ON INJUSTICES IN
COMMUNITIES OF COLOR.
I'M WORKING WITH EVERYONE
SPEAKING TO ADDRESS THE
RECOMMENDATIONS AND POLICIES
THAT START TO PROVIDE EQUAL
JUSTICE UNDER THE CONSTITUTION.
PUBLIC ATTENTION FOCUSED ON
INEQUALITIES AND DOING SOMETHING
ABOUT THAT AND BLACK LAWMAKERS
SAY THEY WILL NOT LET THIS
MOMENT SLIP.
>> WE ARE NOW AT A MOMENT WHERE
OUR WHITE COLLEAGUES THAT HAVE
BEEN RAISED IN WHITE COMMUNITIES
THAT JUST DIDN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT
WE WERE TALKING ABOUT, ARE NOW
UNCOMFORTABLE.
THEY ARE SO UNCOMFORTABLE NOW
THAT THEY ARE HEARING ALL OF THE
ASKS THAT WE HAD BEFORE.
>> WE ARE NOT HERE TO PLACATE
ANY OF OUR COLLEAGUES NOR TO
IGNORE THE JUSTICE THAT IS DUE
TO OUR COMMUNITIES.
>> IT IS LONG OVERDUE AND WE'RE
CALLING ALL DEBTS.
THE BLACK AGENDA IS DUE TODAY.
>> BLACK CAUCUS CHAIR SENATOR
KIMBERLY LIGHTFORD SAYS THE
PROPOSALS WILL BE NAILED DOWN BY
MID-NOVEMBER.
AND THOUGH USUALLY THE GENERAL
ASSEMBLY AND POLITICS SO THINGS
CAN BE DRAWN OUT LIGHTFORD DOES
DEMAND THAT THE LEGISLATURE TAKE
UP WITH THIS PACKAGE WHEN THEY
ARE BACK IN SPRINGFIELD IN
NOVEMBER.
BRANDIS BACK TO YOU.
>> UP NEXT, DETAILS ON THE
LATEST LOCAL POLITICIAN TO PLEAD
GUILTY TO CORRUPTION.
BUT FIRST, TWO YEARS AGO, HIS
ALBUM UNIVERSAL BEINGS LANDED ON
MANY TOP 10 LISTS FOR ALBUM OF
THE YEAR SO THE NEW PROJECT
COMES WITH GREAT EXPECTATIONS.
MAKAYA McCRAVEN HAS BEEN
CALLED A BEAT SCIENTIST.
HE MIXES LIVE PERFORMANCE WITH
STUDIO WIZARDRY FOR MUSIC THAT
EXPANDS THE GLOBE.
MARC VITALI MET HIM OF THE SOUTH
SIDE HEADQUARTERS OF THE LABEL
INTERNATIONAL ANTHEM.
>> NEW MUSIC ACCOMPANIES A
DOCUMENTARY SHOT IN LONDON, NEW
YORK, LOS ANGELES AND CHICAGO.
IT'S THE LATEST FROM
PERCUSSIONIST AND BAND LEADER
MAKAYA McCRAVEN THE SUBJECT OF
THE FILM.
>> MUSIC AND ART IS BEST WITH A
HEALTHY DOSE OF TRUTH, HONESTY
AND VULNERABILITY.
THE MUSIC COMES OUT OF RESPONSE
NAYTY AND FROM SPONTANEITY AND
THE PERSONALITIES SO IT'S
COLLABORATIVE AND EVERYBODY
PERFORMING WITH ME IS A COWRITER
IN THE PROCESS AND I TAKE THAT
KIND OF MOMENT IN TIME AND
FREEZE IT OR INCAPSULATE IT BY
USING LOOPING AND TECHNIQUES TO
USE THAT AUDIO NOW AS BITS AND
PIECES TO MAKE NEW COMPOSITION
OR CREATE FORM OUT OF WHAT CAME
OUT OF CHAOS.
[♪♪♪]
>> McCRAVEN WAS BORN IN PARIS
HIS FATHER IS AN AMERICAN JAZZ
DRUMMER HIS MOTHER A HUNGARIAN
FOLK MUSICIAN.
THEY RAISED HIM IN
MASSACHUSETTSISM I FEEL
FORTUNATE TO GROW UP IN A
HOUSEHOLD SURROUNDED BY MUSIC
AND ART AND DIFFERENT PEOPLE
WITH DIFFERENT LIFESTYLES IT IS
A GEF ENME AN OPPORTUNITY TO
HAVE --
GIVEN ME TO HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY
TO HAVE A BROAD PERSPECTIVE.
>> IT IS A MUSICAL SIBLINGS TO
THE FOUR SIDED ALBUM IN 2018.
THE HIGHLY PRAISED UNIVERSE TALL
BEINGS.
SOME OF THE NEW MUSIC WAS
RECORDED LIVE AT THE SOUTH SIDE
CULTURAL HUB.
>> ONE OF THE REASONS I LIKE TO
RECORD LIVE IS THAT THEN YOU CAN
CAPTURE THIS KIND OF SPIRIT IN
THE ROOM.
SOMETHING LIKE INTANGIBLE THAT
SOMETIMES HARD TO CATCH IN LIKE
A MORE STERILE RECORDING
ENVIRONMENT LIKE A STUDIO.
[♪♪♪]
BUT WE GO TO LONDON AND WE PLAY
A CONCERT IN A REALLY COOL SPACE
OR WE DO SO IN CHICAGO AND
PEOPLE ARE STANDING ALL AROUND
US AND IT IS AN INCREDIBLE VIBE.
BEING ABLE TO CAPTURE THAT IN
THE RECORDING IS LIKE A SNAPSHOT
OF THE MOMENT AND A MOMENT THAT
COULD BE FLEETING.
>> WE ASKED THIS INTERNATIONAL
MUSICIAN HOW HE IS DEALING WITH
BEING STUCK IN THE STATES?
>> MAINLY I'VE BEEN TRYING TO
FOCUS ON MY FAMILY AND TAKING
CARE OF MY KIDS AND MY WIFE AND
BEING A UNIT.
AND YOU KNOW, WITH WHAT I'VE
SEEN AS A LOT MORE CHALLENGING
TIMES, KIND OF AHEAD OF US
TRYING TO LEAN INTO ALL THE
SILVER LININGS I CAN AND MAKE
THE MOST OF WHAT I HAVE TO BE AS
STRONG AS I CAN TO CARRY FORTH
IN THE COMING TIMES.
SO I CAN BE OPERATING FROM A
POSITION OF POWER.
>> FOR "CHICAGO TONIGHT" THIS IS
MARC VITALI.
>> BY THE WAY, MAKAYA McCRAVEN
MOVED TO CHICAGO 16 YEARS AGO
WHEN HIS GIRLFRIEND AT THE TIME
NOW HIS WIFE, BECAME A PROFESSOR
AT NORTHWESTERN.
ANOTHER FUN FACT HE WAS CAPTAIN
OF HIS HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL TEAM
AND PLAYED BOTH OFFENSE AND
DEFENSE.
VISIT OUR WEBSITE FOR MORE
INFORMATION ABOUT MAKAYA
McCRAVEN AND UNIVERSAL BEINGS.
UP NEXT WHAT WE CAN EXPECT FROM
A TAX HOLIDAY.
>> TODAY MARKS THE BEGINNING OF
A PAYROLL TAX HOLIDAY.
BUT DON'T GET TOO ATTACHED TO
THE EXTRA CASH IT'S DUE BACK
NEXT APRIL.
THE DEFERRAL COMES AS ONE OF
FOUR EXECUTIVE ORDERS PRESIDENT
TRUMP SIGNED TO PROVIDE RELIEF
TO AMERICANS DURING THE PANDEMIC
BUT THIS COMES WITH CONCERNS
FROM EMPLOYEES AND EMPLOYERS.
JOINING US TO BREAKDOWN THE TAX
DEFERRAL, IS DAMON JONES
PROFESSOR AT THE HARRIS SCHOOL
OF PUBLIC POLICY HE CONDUCTS
RESEARCH AT THE INTERSECTION OF
PUBLIC FINANCE, HOUSEHOLD
FINANCE AND BEHAVIORAL
ECONOMICS.
DAMON JONES THANK YOU FOR
JOINING US.
FIRST, WHAT IS THE PAYROLL TAX
HOLIDAY?
>> SO WHAT IT IS IS A OPTION OR
AN ENCOURAGEMENT FOR EMPLOYERS
TO STOP COLLECTING PART OF THE
PAYROLL TAX OUT OF PEOPLE'S
PAYCHECK FOR THE REST OF THE
YEAR.
AND THEN STARTING NEXT YEAR IN
THE FIRST QUARTER OF NEXT YEAR,
YOU'RE EXPECTED TO PAY THOSE
TAXES BACK.
BASICALLY, YOU GET A LITTLE
EXTRA TIME BEFORE YOU PAY YOUR
REGULAR PAYROLL TAXES.
YOU CAN THINK ABOUT IT AS YOU
GETTING A LARGER PAYCHECK RIGHT
NOW AND IN THE FUTURE WHEN YOU
HAVE TO PAY THE TAXES BACK YOU
WILL GET A SMALLER PAYCHECK.
>> WHAT IS THE PRESIDENT HOPING
THIS WILL DO FOR THE ECONOMY
NOW?
>> I THINK THE STATED PURPOSE IS
THAT IF YOU DON'T PAY YOUR PAY
LOCAL TAXES NOW YOU HAVE MORE
MONEY THAT CAN HOPEFULLY TRY TO
STIMULATE THE ECONOMY.
AND ALSO GIVE YOU MONEY TO MEET
YOUR VARIOUS NEEDS.
THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO
ARE IN HIGH NEED RIGHT NOW.
MANY ARE UNEMPLOYED WHO ARE NOT
GOING TO BE AFFECTED BY THIS
POLICY.
BUT THOSE EMPLOYED THEY HAVE
NEEDS AND I THINK THE STATED
PURPOSE IS TO GET YOU CASH NOW
IN THE SHORT RUN.
>> WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR
EMPLOYERS?
THEY WILL BE WITHHOLDING THAT
AMOUNT BUT WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR
THEM?
>> EMPLOYERS USUALLY TAKE MONEY
OUT OF YOUR PAYCHECK AND SEND IT
TO THE GOVERNMENT ON BEHALF OF
YOU.
THEY ARE BEING ASKED TO STOP
DOING THAT AND ONLY FOR SOME OF
THEIR EMPLOYEES THE ONES WHO
EARN UNDER $100,000 PER YEAR AND
NEXT YEAR THEY WILL BE ASKED TO
COLLECT THAT MONEY BACK AND SEND
IT BACK TO THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT.
THERE ARE A LOT OF QUESTION
MARKS IS WHO IS ON THE HOOK FOR
THE TAXES IF THERE'S SEPARATION
BETWEEN EMPLOYER AND EMPLOYEE.
THERE IS A LOT OF UNKNOWNS.
EMPLOYERS ARE ASKED TO NOT DO
BUSINESS AS USUAL BUT MAKE
ADJUSTMENTS TO PAYROLL.
>> HERE ARE THING WE KNOW THIS
IS FOR EMPLOYEES MAKING LESS
THAN $4,000 EVERY TWO WEEKS.
IT BEGINS TODAY AND RUNS THROUGH
THE END OF THE YEAR.
AND THE TAXES MUST BE PREPAID BY
APRIL 30, 2021.
IS THIS TOO MUCH OF A BURDEN TO
PUT ON THE EMPLOYER?
>> THIS IS GOING TO BE AN
ADMINISTRATIVE BURDEN AND ALSO
THERE'S QUESTIONS ABOUT
LIABILITY.
SO IF AN EMPLOYEE LEAVES THE
FIRM HOW DOES THE EMPLOYER GET
THAT MONEY BACK FROM THE
EMPLOYEE TO SEND TO THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT?
ALSO IT SEEMS TO BE OPTION.
SOME FIRMS CAN DECIDE TO DO IT
AND SOME ARE NOT GOING TO DO IT
BECAUSE IT'S CONFUSING.
AND SO I THINK THERE ARE GOING
TO BE QUESTION MARKS FOR THE
FIRMS.
I THINK FOR THE EMPLOYEES AND
ALSO A LOT OF UNCERTAINTY.
IF YOU ARE NOT PAYING ATTENTION
YOU WILL NOTICE THAT STARTING
JANUARY 1 YOU HAVE A SMALLER
PAYCHECK.
>> ACCORDING TO A LETTER TO
CONGRESS AND THE TREASURY
DEPARTMENT FROM THE U.S. CHAMBER
OF COMMERCE AND MORE THAN 30
TRADE ORGANIZATIONS, A PERSON
WHO MAKES $35,000 A YEAR OR
$1346 EVERY TWO WEEKS, WOULD
HAVE AN INCREASE OF $83 EVERY
PAY PERIOD HOWEVER THEY WILL OWE
751 ON APRIL 30, 2021 HOW IS
THIS GOING TO AFFECT THE AVERAGE
WORKER?
>> WELL, I THINK THAT THERE ARE
A NUMBER OF THINGS.
ONE IS WILL PEOPLE NOTICE THEY
ARE GETTING MORE IN THEIR
PAYCHECK AND WHAT ARE THEY GOING
TO DO WITH THE EXTRA AMOUNT.
SOME MAY SPEND IT AND WHEN THEY
GO TO FILE THEIR TAXES IT MAY
COME AS A SURPRISE PERHAPS AN
UNPLEASANT SURPRISE.
I THINK EVERYONE WOULD LIKE
MONEY IN THE SHORT RUN BUT MONEY
THAT YOU WILL HAVE TO PAYBACK
WITHIN A NUMBER OF MONTHS THERE
IS A QUESTION HOW USEFUL IT IS.
THE BIGGER QUESTION WHAT COULD
BE DONE THAT IS MORE FRUITFUL
AND THAT IS PROBABLY TO HAVE
LEGISLATION PASSED THAT GIVES
PEOPLE A TRUE TAX CUT OR
CONTINUES TO GIVE PEOPLE DIRECT
CASH THAT IS RELIEF THAT YOU
DON'T HAVE TO PAYBACK.
>> I'M SURE IF SOME PEOPLE MAYBE
RECEIVE THIS MONEY AND THEY SAVE
IT, IS IT AN ECONOMIC BOOST?
OR IS IT BENEFICIAL IF ALL THEY
DID WAS SAVE IT TO GIVE IT BACK
TO THE GOVERNMENT LATER ON?
>> YES.
IN THAT CASE IT DOESN'T MAKE A
LOT OF SENSE TO GIVE PEOPLE
EXTRA MONEY KNOWING THEY WILL BE
ON THE HOOK FOR IT IN A COUPLE
OF MONTHS.
IF YOU ARE TRYING TO STIMULATE
THE ECONOMY YOU HAVE TO PUMP
CASH INTO PEOPLE'S POCKETS AND
THIS IS LIKE A LOAN.
YOU HAVE TO PAY IT BACK AND
SOMETIMES LOANS CAN BE HELPFUL.
BUT FOR OTHER PEOPLE IT MAY BE
TOO MUCH UNCERTAINTY.
WILL YOU OWE THE MONEY?
WE HAVE A LOT OF UNCERTAINTY
RIGHT NOW AND THIS IS ADDING ON.
>> WHILE THE IRS RELEASED
GUIDANCE DAYS BEFORE THIS ORDER
TOOK EFFECT THERE IS A LOT OF
UNKNOWNS FROM WHAT HAPPENS FOR
SEASONAL EMPLOYEES OR THOSE WHO
LEAVE THE COMPANY BEFORE THE END
OF THE YEAR.
WE'VE GOT 20 SECONDS LEFT.
PRESIDENT TRUMP SAID THAT HE
WILL TERMINATE THE PAYROLL TAX
IF ELECTED ARE YOU SAYING THIS
WOULD BE BENEFICIAL TO THE
ECONOMY?
>> I DON'T THINK SO.
I THINK THE PAYROLL TAX PLAYS A
CENTRAL ROLL IN OUR SOCIAL
SECURITY SYSTEM AND TO JUST
ELIMINATE THAT WOULD CAUSE HAVOC
ON THINKING HOW WE'RE FUNDED IT
AND THE POLITICAL STABILITY OF
THAT TYPE OF PROGRAM.
AND SO I DON'T THINK THAT IS A
GOOD POLICY.
>> A LOT OF UNKNOWNS.
DAMON JONES THANK YOU FOR
JOINING US.
>> THANK YOU.
>> STILL TO COME ON "CHICAGO
TONIGHT"...
THERE ARE MORE HOMICIDES THIS
YEAR THAN ALL OF LAST YEAR AND
THERE ARE STILL ANOTHER FOUR
MONTHS LEFT IN 2020.
WE DIG INTO THE RISING NUMBERS.
WE WILL HAVE MORE WITH ILLINOIS
CONGRESSMEN ON A CORONAVIRUS
VACCINE AND CONCERNS OF STUDENTS
RETURNING TO SCHOOL.
AFTER CHADWICK BOSEMAN'S DEATH
DOCTORS SOUND THE ALARM ON COLON
CANCER IN THE BLACK COMMUNITY.
CHICAGO'S EMERGENCE AS A GLOBAL
HUB FOR QUANTUM RESEARCH THAT
CAN CHANGE THE WORLD.
AND A TAVERN OWNED THAT IS BEING
RESTORED AND HEADING FOR CITY
LANDMARK STATUS.
BUT FIRST, MORE OF TODAY'S TOP
STORIES.
FORMER COOK COUNTY COMMISSIONER
JEFF TOBOLSKI PLEADS GUILTY TO
CORRUPTION CHARGES IN FEDERAL
COURT.
HE ADMITS TO EXTORTING TENS OF
THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN CASH
FROM A McCOOK RESTAURANT AND
TAKING $250,000 IN BRIBES WHILE
SERVING AS AN ELECTED OFFICIAL.
JEFF TOBOLSKI FACES UP TO 14
YEARS IN PRISON BUT HE COULD GET
A SENTENCING BREAK IF HE
CONTINUES TO COOPERATE WITH THE
INVESTIGATION.
JEFF TOBOLSKI RESIGNED FROM HIS
POSITIONS IN MARCH.
>> CHARGES ARE FILED IN THE
DEATH OF CALEB REED.
THE 17-YEAR-OLD ACTIVIST SHOT
AND KILLED IN LATE JULY IN WEST
ROGERS PARK.
AUTHORITIES ALLEGE HE WAS SHOT
AND KILLED ACCIDENTALLY BY A
FRIEND, GENOVE MARTIN.
MARTIN HAS BEEN CHARGED WITH
FIRST DEGREE MURDER AND IS HELD
ON $300,000 BOND.
PROSECUTORS SAY MARTIN AND REED
WERE WALKING TOGETHER WHEN
MARTIN BEGAN SHOOTING AT A CAR
THAT RETURNED FIRE AND MARTIN'S
LAST SHOT STRUCK REED AND HE
DIED TWO DAYS LATER.
>> AND THE ILLINOIS DEPARTMENT
OF PUBLIC HEALTH IS REPORTING
ALMOST 1500 CONFIRMED CASES OF
CORONAVIRUS SINCE YESTERDAY.
BRINGING THE STATE-WIDE TOTAL TO
236,000 CASES.
STATE HEALTH OFFICIALS REPORT 39
ADDITIONAL DEATHS FOR A TOTAL
DEATH TOLL OF MORE THAN 8,000.
>> SOME VERY DISMAL DATA OUT OF
THE CHICAGO POLICE DEPARTMENT
THE NUMBER OF HOMICIDES EXCEEDED
LAST YEAR'S TOTAL AND THERE IS
STILL ANOTHER FOUR MONTHS LEFT
IN 2020.
JOINING US TO GO BEHIND THE
NUMBERS IS WTTW NEWS REPORTER
MATT MASTERSON.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
THIS YEAR'S NUMBERS AND LAST
YEAR'S?
>> AS YOU SAID CHICAGO IN 2020
HAS SEEN MORE MURDERS ACROSS
EIGHT MONTHS THAN THERE WERE IN
ALL OF 2019.
ACCORDING TO THE DATA, THERE
WERE 506 HOMICIDES RECORDED
THROUGH THE END OF AUGUST IN
2020.
THERE WERE 495 HOMICIDES
RECORDED IN ALL OF 2019.
ACCORDING TO C.P.D. DATA THERE
ARE 63 HOMICIDES REPORTED
THROUGHOUT THE MONTH OF AUGUST
DOWN FROM THE 105 RECORDED IN
JULY.
>> DOES SUPERINTENDENT DAVID
BROWN SAY WHY THEY THINK THE
NUMBERS ARE WORSE THIS YEAR?
>> SUPERINTENDENT BROWN POINTED
OUT THIS IS AN UNPRECEDENTED
YEAR IN POLICING FOR A LOT OF
REASONS BETWEEN STRESS FROM THE
CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC AND CIVIL
REST CAUSE AFTER THE DEATH OF
GEORGE FLOYD AND PLAYED OUT THAT
GUN OFFENDERS NEED TO FACE
LONGER SENTENCES AND STIFFER
BAIL REQUIREMENTS SAYING
PROSECUTORS NEED TO DO MORE TO
KEEP THE PEOPLE OFF THE STREET
WHEN THEY COMMIT THESE CRIMES.
>> SUPERINTENDENT BROWN SAID THE
CREATION OF TEAMS LIKE THE
COMMUNITY SAFETY TEAM AND THE
CRITICAL RESPONSE TEAM HAVE
IMPROVED OR HELPED WITH THE
VIOLENCE IN THE CITY.
DOES THE DATA BEAR THIS OUT?
>> WELL, THERE HAVE BEEN FEWER
HOMICIDES IN AUGUST COMPARED TO
JULY WHEN THE TEAMS WERE ROLLED
OUT.
THERE ARE 100 HOMICIDES IN JULY
AND 63 LAST MONTH.
I DON'T THINK IT'S CLEAR YET
THAT WHETHER OR NOT THAT DECLINE
CAN BE ATTRIBUTED TO THE ROLL
OUT OF THE TEAMS.
I THINK THERE'S GOING TO BE MORE
TEAM THAT IS NEEDED TO DETERMINE
THE IMPACT.
>> WE'LL SEE WHAT THE REST OF
THE YEAR HOLDS.
MATT MASTERSON THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU.
>> AND YOU CAN READ MATT'S STORY
ON OUR WEBSITE AT WTTW.COM/NEWS.
>> AND NOW WE GO BACK TO PHIL
WITH MORE FROM LOCAL MEMBERS OF
CONGRESS.
PHIL?
>> EARLIER IN THE SHOW WE HEARD
FROM CONGRESSMEN DANNY DAVIS,
BRAD SCHNEIDER AND RODNEY DAVIS
ABOUT THE PRESIDENT'S VISIT TO
KENOSHA AND THE NEXT ROUND OF
CORONAVIRUS RELIEF FROM
CONGRESS.
AND THE PRESIDENT SIGNED AN
EXECUTIVE ORDER DEFERRING
PAYROLL TAX FOR SOME WORKERS IN
THE U.S. STARTING DAY AND IT
WILL BE A TEMPORARY BOOST TO
PAYCHECKS BUT THAT TAX BILL WILL
BE COMING DUE NEXT YEAR.
BRAD SCHNEIDER IS THAT LIKELY TO
HELP OR WILL IT CREATE
CONFUSION?
>> WELL, I DON'T THINK IT HELPS
AT ALL AND CREATES A LOT OF
CONFUSION.
EMPLOYERS AND EMPLOYEES ARE
WONDERING DO THEY NOT WITHHOLD
THE TAXES TODAY AND FOUR MONTHS
FROM NOW, THE TAX BILL IS DUE
AND THEY HAVE TO PAY IT.
AND WHAT ABOUT COMPANIES WHERE
THERE'S TURNOVER AND THE
EMPLOYEES ARE LONG GONE AND THE
COMPANY WILL BE LEFT HOLDING THE
BILL.
WE NEED THE REAL RELIEF
CONTAINED IN THE HEROS ACT
PASSED FOUR MONTHS AGO.
THAT WILL HELP OUR SMALL
BUSINESSES AND PRO IS VIED THEM
THE RELIEF AND PEOPLE WITHOUT OF
WORK AND HELP FAMILIES MAKE ENDS
MEET WITH ANOTHER PAYMENT OF
$1200.
THESE ARE THE THINGS WE'RE
SEEING THE SPIKES GO UP ACROSS
THE COUNTRY AND HERE IN THE
MIDWEST THAT WE NEED TO DO AND
THE SENATE NEEDS TO JOIN WITH
THE HOUSE AND TRY TO DO
SOMETHING THAT WILL PROVIDE
IMMEDIATE RELIEF.
>> RODNEY DAVIS, THIS IS
TEMPORARY DEFERRAL HELP OR DOES
IT MAKE THINGS MUDDY?
>> YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW
NECESSARILY HOW MUCH SUPPORT
THAT EXECUTIVE ORDER PROPOSAL
HAD ON CAPITOL HILL FROM
REPUBLICANS OR DEMOCRATS.
BUT I'M GLAD IT'S OPTIONAL.
IT WILL BE OPTIONAL FOR THE
EMPLOYEE AND THE EMPLOYER TO PUT
IN PLACE.
THE SAD PART IS WE HAD SO MUCH
GOOD BIPARTISAN WHEN WE PASSED
OUR BILL THAT WE LUMPED INTO THE
CARES ACT AND KIM JONG-UN
FORTUNATE SPEAKER PELOSI
SQUANDERED THAT BY PUTTING
FORWARD HER WISH LIST THAT HAD
NO CHANCE OF BACKING LAW AND
HERE WE ARE TODAY.
RODNEY DAVIS YOU ANNOUNCED YOU
TESTED POSITIVE FOR COVID.
HOW ARE YOU FEELING?
>> I FEEL GREAT I WAS ONE OF THE
LUCKY ONES DID NOT HAVE MAJOR
SYMPTOMS I NOTICED A SPIKE IN
TEMPERATURE BECAUSE MY WIFE IS A
NURSE AND I'VE BEEN TAKING MY
TEMP SINCE THE PANIC --
PANDEMIC HAD BEGUN.
I DID NOT HAVE MAJOR SYMPTOMS
AND NONE OF MY STAFF A COUPLE
DAYS BEFORE OR MY FAMILY TESTED
POSITIVE I WAS THE ONLY ONE.
>> CONGRESSMAN DANNY DAVIS, THE
DEATH RATE FOR AS A RESULT OF
CORONAVIRUS IN THE U.S. IS NOW
AT THE 200,000 LEVEL.
HOW CONCERNED ARE YOU ABOUT A
POSSIBLE FALL SURGE?
>> I'M VERY MUCH CONCERNED.
BUT I GUESS I'M OPTIMISTIC
BECAUSE MANY OF OUR RESEARCH
OUTLETS ARE INDEED WORKING ON A
VAX 16 AND I --
VACCINE AND I HOPE THEY ARE
CLOSE AND WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A
VACCINE.
IN THE MEANTIME, I THINK THAT
WHAT ALL OF US CAN DO IS MAKE
SURE THAT WE FOLLOW THE PUBLIC
HEALTH PROTOCOLS.
I AM SO GLAD THAT RODNEY IS
DOING OK.
HE IS LOOKING WELL.
AND IS VIBRANT AND I THINK THAT
IS WHAT WE HAVE TO DO IS BE AS
POSITIVE AND PRO-ACTIVE AS WE
CAN POSSIBLY BE.
WE ARE GOING TO LICK THIS VIRUS.
IT'S GOING TO TAKE A LOT OF
COOPERATION AND A LOT OF WORK TO
DO IT.
I'M OPTIMISTIC WE WILL HAVE A
VACCINE.
>> BRAD SCHNEIDER AS YOU KNOW
THERE ARE A LOT OF MODELS FOR
GOING BACK TO SCHOOL, HYBRID
MODELS, STRICTLY REMOTE, A
MIXTURE OF REMOTE AND IN-CLASS.
WHAT ARE YOU HEARING FROM
TEACHERS, PARENTS, STUDENTS IN
YOUR DISTRICT?
>> WELL, THE FIRST THING I'M
HEARING THEY WANT TO GET OUR
KIDS BACK TO SCHOOL AS QUICKLY
AS POSSIBLE AND SAFELY AS WELL.
THIS WAS CRUCIAL IN MY DISTRICT
WE HAVE 87% OF THE STUDENTS IN
MY DISTRICT ARE DOING REMOTE
LEARNING.
10% ARE DOING HYBRID AND 3% ARE
ABLE TO BE IN THE CLASSROOM
BECAUSE WE ARE SEEING THE SPIKE
IN LEVELS.
WE NEED A NATIONAL RESPONSE TO
BEATING BACK THE VIRUS AS BOTH
MY COLLEAGUES TALKED ABOUT.
I'VE INTRODUCED THE COVID
PREPARE ACT WHICH WOULD REQUIRE
EVERY AGENCY TO REPORT TO THE
CONGRESS WHAT THEY ARE DOING TO
HELP US BEAT BACK THE VIRUS WITH
THE TECHNOLOGY AND THE RESEARCH
AND THE TREATMENTS AND HOPEFULLY
A VACCINE.
THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS
SAFELY GET OUR KIDS BACK TO
SCHOOL AS SOON AS WE CAN.
>> QUICK REACTION.
YES OR NO ON WHETHER OR NOT YOU
FEEL CONFIDENT THAT MAIL-IN
BALLOTS WILL BE COUNTED IN A
PROMPT WAY?
CONGRESSMAN RODNEY DAVIS YES OR
NO.
>> YES, BECAUSE I BELIEVE IN THE
POSTAL SERVICE.
>> CONGRESSMAN DANNY DAVIS?
>> YES.
WITHOUT A DOUBT.
ILLINOIS HAS A GREAT SYSTEM.
>> CONGRESSMAN SHIEDDER YOU ARE
CONFIDENT THAT MAIL-IN VOTING
WILL GO SMOOTHLY.
>> WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE EVERYONE
KNOWS THEIR VOTE WILL BE COUNTED
AND THE OUTCOME OF THE ELECTION
WILL REFLECT THE WILL OF THE
PEOPLE.
>> GENTLEMEN THANK YOU.
CONGRESSMAN RODNEY DAVIS,
CONGRESSMAN BRAD SCHNEIDER AND
CONGRESSMAN DANNY DAVIS.
>> ACTOR CHADWICK BOSEMAN BEST
KNOWN FOR PORTRAYING THE MARVEL
COMIC BOOK CHARACTER BLACK
PANTHER DIED FROM COLON CANCER
LAST WEEK AT 43 YEARS OLD.
HIS DEATH WAS A SHOCK TO FANS
IT'S BECOMING MORE COMMON FOR
YOUNG BLACK ADULTS TO ACONTRACT
COLON CANCER IN THE U.S.
JOINING US WITH MORE IS Dr. ED
McDONALD, GAT TRO ENTER
ROLL --
CASTRO INTERROLOGIST.
WHEN BLACK PANTHER WAS RELEASED
BUT BEFORE KNOWN ABOUT BOSEMAN'S
CANCER DIAGNOSIS YOU WROTE THAT
WHAT CANADA WAKANDANS.
>> THE MOVIE CAME OUT IN MARCH
COLON CANCER AWARENESS MONTH.
I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A GOOD
IDEA TO MARRY THE SIGNIFICANCE
OF THAT MOVIE WITH THE
SIGNIFICANCE OF OUR INCREASED
RISK OF DEVELOPING COLON CANCER
AND I USED THAT MOVIE TO TALK
ABOUT COLON CANCER SCREENING AND
PREVENTION.
AND ONE ARGUMENT I MADE WAKANDA,
PEOPLE EMBRACE TECHNOLOGY AND WE
HAVE TECHNOLOGY THAT CAN PREVENT
COLON CANCER OR LEAD TO EARLY
DETECTION.
>> YOU WROTE ABOUT THE OTHER
REASONS WHY WAKANDANS WOULD BE
AT LOWER RISK.
>> THERE WAS A CHARACTER IN THE
MOVIE THAT SOME ARE VEGETARIANS
WE KNOW THAT ADOPTING A PLANNED
FOCUSED --
PLANT FOCUSED DIET, BUT A DIET
WHERE THE PLANTS ARE REALLY THE
MAIN PART OF THE MAIN COMPONENT
OF THE DIET AND POTENTIALLY
DECREASE THE RISK OF DEVELOPING
COLON CANCER.
AND THEY SEEM TO EXERCISE AND WE
KNOW THAT WEIGHT CAN PLAY A ROLE
WHEN IT COMES TO INCREASE OUR
RISK OF DEVELOPING COLON CANCER
AND EXERCISE CAN DECREASE THE
RISK OF COLON CANCER.
THESE ARE LIFESTYLE FACTORS THAT
CAN PLAY A ROLE THAT WE SHOULD
THINK ABOUT ESPECIALLY AFTER
SEEING WHAT HAPPENED TO CHADWICK
BOSEMAN.
>> BLACKS ARE 26% MORE LIKELY TO
GET COLON CANCER THAN WHITE
PEOPLE.
WHY THIS DISPARITY?
>> COMPLICATED.
SO IN COOK COUNTY, I MEAN
THERE'S A LOT OF ISSUES INVOLVED
IN NOT ONLY GETTING ANY TYPE OF
CANCER BUT HAVING THE
OPPORTUNITY TO GET SCREENING FOR
CANCER.
SCREENING RATES ARE LOWER IN THE
AFRICAN-AMERICAN COMMUNITY
COMPARED TO WHITE PEOPLE.
BUT THEY ARE NOT THAT MUCH
LOWER.
SO THIS IS JUST THE DIFFERENCE
THAT WE'RE SEEING IS NOT PEOPLE
ARE NOT GETTING COLONOSCOPIES.
THERE IS SOMETHING ELSE GOING
ON.
WE KNOW THAT THE FOOD PLAYS A
ROLE.
WE KNOW THAT EXERCISE AGAIN CAN
PLAY A ROLE.
BUT THERE'S GENETIC FACTORS AND
THEN THERE'S STRUCTURAL RACISM
INVOLVED.
SO WE KNOW THAT PEOPLE WITH
LOWER INCOMES HAVE HIGHER RISK
OF DEVELOPING CANCER.
AND THERE IS A VARIETY OF
DIFFERENT REASONS WHY ALL THESE
DIFFERENT DETERMINANTS AFFECT
COLON CANCER OUT COMES.
WHEN WE THINK ABOUT SOLUTIONS WE
HAVE TO HAVE ALL THE DIFFERENT
ISSUES IN MIND COMING UP WITH
PLANS FOR SOLUTIONS.
IT'S DEEPER THAN TELLING PEOPLE
TO GET A COLONOSCOPY.
WE HAVE LOOK AT ACCESS AND
LIFESTYLE.
>> WHAT ARE AMONG SOME OF THE
FACTORS ARE ANY CHRONIC GUT
CONDITIONS POTENTIALLY FACTORS
FOR EXAMPLE, CROHN'S OR COLITIS.
>> CROHN'S, COLITIS CARRY RISK
OF DEVELOPING COLON CANCER
BECAUSE THESE ARE INFLAMMATORY
CONDITIONS.
MOST OF THE COLON CANCERS WE ARE
TALKING ABOUT ARE SPORADIC WHICH
ARE DIFFERENT THAN THE COLON
CANCER ASSOCIATED WITH
INFLAMATION.
PEOPLE WITH INFLAMMATORY BOWL
DISEASE TO HAVE COLONOSCOPY ON
THEIR RADAR.
>> WHAT MIGHT MAKE THE
COLONOSCOPIES HAPPEN EARLIER IN
YOUR LIFE WHICH IS THE STANDARD
AGE IS 50?
>> THAT IS A GREAT QUESTION.
THERE'S CONTROVERSY WITH THE
STANDARD RECOMMENDATION.
THE AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY
INCREASED OR DECREASED THE AGE
WHICH THEY RECOMMEND COLON
CANCER SCREENING TO AGE 45.
OTHER SOCIETIES SUCH THEY STILL
RECOMMEND COLONOSCOPY FOR 50.
AND AFRICAN-AMERICANS ARE
RECOMMENDED TO HAVE
COLONOSCOPIES STARTING AT AGE
45.
AND THAT IS IF YOU DON'T HAVE A
FAMILY HISTORY.
IF YOU HAVE A FAMILY HISTORY OF
COLON CANCER YOU MAY HAVE TO
START AT AGE 40 OR 10 YEARS
YOUNGER THAN YOUR FAMILY MEMBER
WAS DIAGNOSED WITH COLON CANCER.
SOMEONE WAS DIAGNOSED AT AGE 45
THAT PERSON SHOULD START THE
SCREENING AT AGE 35.
>> WHAT IF YOU ARE A LITTLE BIT
YOUNGER, WHAT ARE SOME OF THE
SYMPTOMS SOMEONE MIGHT CONSIDER
GOING TO SEE A DOCTOR?
>> SO COLON CANCER SCREENING THE
POINT OF IT IS MAJORITY OF COLON
CANCERS DO NOT HAVE SYMPTOMS
THAT IS WHY PEOPLE HAVE TO COME
IN ATTIC AGES WE DON'T WANT YOU
TO DEVELOP THEM.
FOR PEOPLE MAYBE EXPERIENCING
BLOOD IN THE STOOL THAT WARRANTS
A CONVERSATION WITH A PHYSICIAN
ESPECIALLY OVER THE AGE OF 30.
SO BLOOD IN THE STOOL CAN
INDICATE CANCER IT IS NOT HANDS
DOWN THE SOLE SIGN OF CANCER.
A LOT OF THINGS CAN CAUSE BLOOD
IN THE STOOL BUT IT WARRANTS AN
EVALUATION AND A DISCUSSION WITH
A PRIMARY CARE DOCTOR.
OTHER SYMPTOMS COULD INCLUDE
SEVERE CONSTIPATION.
AND THERE ARE REASONS THAT YOU
HAVE CONSTIPATION THAT DO NOT
INVOLVE COLON CANCER.
I WANT PEOPLE TO HAVE
CONVERSATIONS WITH HEALTH
CONDITIONS THEY ARE
EXPERIENCING.
COLON CANCER CAN BE
ASYMPTOMATIC.
>> Dr. ED McDONALD THANK YOU
TOO MUCH I KNOW WE'RE WATCHING
YOU BETWEEN PROCEDURES THANK YOU
FOR JOINING US.
>> THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.
I APPRECIATE IT.
>> AND UP NEXT, HOW CHICAGO IS
BECOMING A HUB FOR QUANTUM
TECHNOLOGY.
BUT FIRST A LOOK AT THE WEATHER.
>> QUANTUM TECHNOLOGY IS
EXPECTED TO TRANSFORM OUR WORLD.
FROM THE CREATION OF ULTRA FAST
AND POWERFUL QUANTUM COMPUTERS
TO SENSORS CAPABLE OF DETECTING
THE MOVEMENT OF A SINGLE AT
TOMORROW TO UNHACKABLE NETWORKS.
CHICAGO IS AT THE CENTER AS THE
DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY ANNOUNCES
THAT THE TWO RESEARCH CENTERS
WILL BE IN THE CHICAGO AREA.
JOINING US TO TELL US MORE ARE
ANNA GRASSELLINO SENIOR
SCIENTIST AND DEPUTY CHIEF
TECHNOLOGY OFFICER AT FERMILAB
AND THE DIRECTOR OF THE QUANTUM
MATERIALS AND SYSTEMS CENTER AND
ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR AT
NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY.
AND DAVID AWSCHALOM SENIOR
SCIENTIST AT ARGONNE NATIONAL
LABORATORY AND PROFESSOR AT THE
UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO AND THE
DIRECTOR OF THE CHICAGO QUANTUM
EXCHANGE EACH LAB IS EXPECTED TO
RECEIVE $115 MILLION OVER THE
NEXT FIVE YEARS TO FURTHER THE
RESEARCH.
DAVID AWSCHALOM LET'S START WITH
YOU.
FOR SOMEONE LIKE ME WHO KNOWS
LITTLE ABOUT QUANTUM COMPUTING
AND EXPLAIN WHY SO MANY
RESEARCHERS THINK THIS IS GOING
TO BE THE NEXT TECHNOLOGICAL
DEVELOPMENT?
>> IT IS A GREAT QUESTION.
AND ONE OF THE EXCITING THINGS
ABOUT THIS FIELD WE ARE ABLE TO
ENGINEER HOW MATTER BEHAVES AT
THE INDIVIDUAL AT AT ATOMS.
AND IT'S DIFFERENT FROM WHAT WE
SEE.
AND IT MEANS WE CAN DEVELOP
TECHNOLOGIES WITH SENSORS THAT
ARE PRECISE AND COMMUNICATE WITH
ONE ANOTHER IN WAYS THAT ARE
UNHACKABLE.
THE WAY WE THINK ABOUT
INFORMATION AND TRANSMIT IT WILL
BE DIFFERENT.
>> ANNA GRASSELLINO ONE OF THE
THINGS THAT FERMILAB INTENDS TO
DO IS CREATE A BEYOND
STATE-OF-THE-ART QUANTUM
COMPUTER.
WHAT IS THE TIME-FRAME FOR THAT?
AND WHAT WILL IT BE ABLE TO DO
COMPARED TO A CONVENTIONAL SUPER
COMPUTER.
>> TOGETHER WITH OUR 20 PARTNERS
IN THE NEW EXCITING CENTER, WE
WOULD LIKE TO BUILD QUANTUM
COMPUTER IN FIVE YEARS.
THAT'S THE TIME SCALE WE HAVE
GIVEN FOR OUR PROTOTYPE.
AND THE EXCITING PART IS WE WILL
COMBINE THE STRENGTH OF THAT
NATIONAL LAB SUCH AS FERMILAB IN
SUPER CONDUCTING TECHNOLOGIES
THAT WE HAVE BEEN USING EVERYDAY
TO BUILD ACCELERATORS.
AND THOSE WILL BECOME THE
BUILDING BLOCKS THAT CAN BRING
DRAMATIC ADVANCEMENT IN TERMS OF
QUALITY OF THE CUBE THAT WILL
BUILD THIS REVOLUTIONARY QUANTUM
COMPUTER AND JOIN FORCES WITH
ACADEMIA, LOCAL NORTHWESTERN
UNIVERSITY AND OTHER
UNIVERSITIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY
AND ALSO INDUSTRY SUCH AS THE
COMPUTING A START-UP IN SILICON
VALLEY THAT HAS BEEN BUILDING
QUANTUM COMPUTERS FOR YEARS.
IT'S EXCITING ADVENTURE.
WE LOOKING FORWARD TO COMBINE
ALL THE THINGS TO THEN WHAT WE
WILL BE ABLE TO REALLY ADVANCE
FIRST OF ALL FOR US, THE THINGS
WE COULD DO.
SIMULATE ON A QUANTUM COMPUTER
LIKE PARTICLE COLLISIONS WE
BUILD AN EXCITING LARGE
ACCELERATES TO STUDY PARTICLES
AND THEIR NATURE.
BUT WHEN WE ANALYZE THE DATA
IT'S NOT AS POWERFUL AS WHEN WE
WILL BE ABLE TO DO IT ON A
QUANTUM COMPUTER THAT IT IS
CLOSER TO WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO
STUDY.
>> AND DAVID AWSCHALOM, YOU ARE
THE DIRECTOR OF THE Q NEXT
CENTER LED BY ARGONNE.
EXPLAIN WHAT IT IS OR HOW YOU
WILL BE USING THE FUNDING THAT
YOU ARE GETTING FROM THE
DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY.
>> OUR CENTER WAS INSPIRED BY
ONE OF THE CHALLENGES TO FOCUS
ON THE SCIENCE AND THE
TECHNOLOGY TO CONTROL AND
DISTRIBUTE QUANTUM INFORMATION
ACROSS DISTANCES RANGING FROM A
COMPUTER CHIP TO ACROSS THE
COUNTRY.
WE HAVE DONE THIS BY CREATING
TWO NATIONAL QUANTUM FACTORIES
TO BUILD SEMICONDUCTOR MATERIALS
AND A LAB IN CALIFORNIA.
TAKEN TOGETHER THE GAUN TUM
FACTORIES WILL BUILD MATERIALS
FOR THE SUPPLY CHAIN.
WE'VE PARTNERED WITH 10
COMPANIES AND 10 UNIVERSITIES TO
PUSH THE SCIENCE QUICKLY AND THE
TECHNOLOGY FRONT.
AND IN A SENSOR AREAS PUSHING
MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING
LOOKING AT SINGLE MOLECULES TO
SEE HOW WE CAN PROTECT OURSELVES
BETTER AND USES PHARMACEUTICALS
EFFICIENTLY.
>> WHAT WILL THIS MEAN FOR
CHICAGO AND ILLINOIS AS THE AREA
IS EMERGING AAS A LEADING HUB
FOR QUANTUM RESEARCH?
ARE WE GOING TO BE THE NEXT
SILICON VALLEY BUT FOR QUANTUM
RESEARCH?
>> I THINK THAT IS A GOOD
PARALLEL AND ANOTHER WAY I SEE
IT WHEN FERMILAB WE BROUGHT SO
MANY THOUSANDS OF STUDENTS
RESEARCHERS FROM THE COUNTRY AND
FROM THE GLOBE EVEN.
SO THIS IS SUCH AN EXCITING AND
HIGH-TECH INITIATIVE THAT WILL
DRAW A LOT OF STUDENTS AND
COMPANIES LIKE DAVID SAID.
WE WILL PROVIDE ACTUALLY SPACE
ON CAMPUS FOR THE COMPANIES FROM
CALIFORNIA TO HAVE PEOPLE HERE
TO DO THE TECH TRANSFER.
I THINK THIS IS AN AMAZING
INITIATIVE AND WORKING TOGETHER
WITH DAVID AND CHICAGO WITH
ARGONNE, WITH NORTHWESTERN
UNIVERSITY IT IS A UNIQUE.
WE HAVE TWO OF THE FIVE NATIONAL
CENTERS HERE IN THE AREA AND WE
WILL BE BUILDING THE MOST
POWERFUL QUANTUM COMPUTERS AND
NETWORKS THEN WE CAN COLLECT
THEM TOGETHER THIS IS REALLY THE
WAY I SEE IT.
LIKE THE NEW SILICON VALLEY HERE
IN THE CHICAGO AREA.
>> AND DAVID 20 SECONDS LEFT HOW
WOULD YOU DESCRIBE THE POTENTIAL
ECONOMIC IMPACT ON CHICAGO
BECAUSE OF THIS?
>> IT IS WILL BE AN
EXTRAORDINARY OPPORTUNITY FOR
CHICAGO.
WE HAVE HAD GREAT SUPPORT FROM
THE STATE AND THE CITY AND THE
FACT THAT COMPANIES AND BUSINESS
SCHOOLS ARE STARTING THIS
PROGRAM MEANS THEY STUDENTS WILL
TRANSFERRING THE DISCOVERIES TO
SOCIETY.
>> THANKS TO ANNA GRASSELLINO
AND DAVID AWSCHALOM THANK YOU
FOR JOINING US.
>> THANKS FOR HAVING US.
>> A LONG RUNNING TAVERN IN
CHICAGO'S EASTSIDE NEIGHBORHOOD
IS HEADING FOR LANDMARK STATUS.
IT IS A BAR THAT LIVED A LOT OF
LIVES AND THE NEW OWNERS SEE IT
AS AN IMPORTANT PIECE OF A
TIGHT-KNIT COMMUNITY.
>> BEFORE MIKE AND LAURA MEDINA
BOUGHT THE BAR THE BUILDING WENT
THROUGH MANY INCARNATIONS.
IT WAS BUILT IN 1907.
>> IT WAS ONE OF 60 HOUSES THAT
SKITS
SCHLITZ BOUGHT MOST.
>> TIDE HOUSES WERE REGULATED
OUT OF BUSINESS BUT SOME KEPT
GOING AS PRIFL OF PRIVATELY
OWNED BARS.
>> THERE WAS A GROUP OF BROTHERS
POPOVICH RAN IT AS A PLACE
CALLED CLUB SELO.
>> THEY DIDN'T JUST RUN THE BAR
THEY PERFORMED IN IT FOR LIVE
AUDIENCES AND ON THE RADIO.
>> I WANT TO SEE YOU EVERY
SATURDAY AND SUNDAY AND COME
HERE AND HEAR THE MUSIC.
>> AND SINCE THEY BOUGHT THE
BUILDING LAST YEAR, THEY HAVE
FOUND AND BEEN GIVEN ARTIFACTS
FROM THE BAR'S HISTORY.
>> AN OLD TELEPHONE.
THE BOX WITH FOREIGN CURRENCY IN
IT FROM WHEN FOREIGN SHIPS WERE
COMING DOWN THE ST. LAWRENCE.
>> AND THINGS RELATED TO THE
UNTOUCHED ROOMING HOUSE ON THE
SECOND FLOOR.
>> A ROOMS FOR RENT SIGN AND
SKELETON KEYS THAT WOULD HAVE
PROBABLY GONE TO SOME OF THE
ROOMS UPSTAIRS.
>> FROM THE 1970s UNTIL IT
CLOSED DOWN A FEW YEARS AGO, THE
BAR WAS KNOWN AS THE BAMBOO
LOUNGE AND YOU BETTER BELIEVE
THE MEDINA'S HAVE THE SEXY
MATCHBOOKS TO PROVE IT.
>> ON TOP OF WHAT WE FOUND IT'S
THE ORIGINALITY OF THE BUILDING
THEY NEVER GUTTED ANYTHING.
NEVER MODERNIZED IT TO A POINT
THAT YOU COULDN'T GET A SENT
BEHALF IT USED TO LOOK LIKE
WHICH IS COOL.
>> WHEN THEY BUILT THE TIDE
HOUSE THEY WERE NOT SHY ABOUT
IT.
THEY HAD IN THE NOW BOARDED UP
OPENING BEHIND ME A STAINED
GLASS WINDOW WITH THE SCHLITZ
LOGO AND IT WAS REMOVED.
>> WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO TRACK
DOWN WHO HAS IT TO APPROACH THEM
AND SEE IF THEY ARE WILLING TO
PART WITH IT WE FEEL IT BELONGS
THERE.
>> IN THE MEANTIME THEY WERE PUT
IN TOUCH WITH A STAINED GLASS
ARTIST WHO HAD BEEN GIVEN THE
ORIGINAL BLUEPRINT FOR THE
WINDOW.
>> THE GLASS COMPANY THAT MADE
THE GLASS ORIGINALLY IS STILL
AROUND AND THIS GENTLEMAN SAID
IF YOU CANNOT GET THE ORIGINAL
WINDOW BACK I CAN MAKE YOU A NEW
ONE USING THE SAME GLASS.
>> WHETHER OR NOT THEY END UP
WITH THE ORIGINAL WINDOW, THE
MEDINA'S ARE EXCITED TO PRESERVE
THIS PIECE OF CHICAGO IN A
NEIGHBORHOOD IN A PART OF TOWN
FUELED BY INDUSTRIAL JOBS AND
ONE THAT IS TIGHT-KNIT.
>> THERE IS A LOT OF NEIGHBORS
THAT HAVE GOOD MEMORIES OF THE
BUILDING AND THE PEOPLE IN IT
AND THE TIMES THEY HAD HERE
THAT'S NOT DISPOSAL.
IT'S NO LESS SIGNIFICANT JUST
BECAUSE IT'S AT 94TH STREET AND
EWING THAN IF IT WAS ON A MORE
PROSPEROUS SIDE OF TOWN.
>> I'M NICK BLUMBERG.
>> THEY OPEN TO REOPEN THE BAR
THE EASTSIDE TAP NEXT YEAR.
WITH ONCE APPROVED THE BUILDING
WILL JOIN NINE OTHER PROPERTIES
AS CHICAGOLAND MARKS.
AND THAT'S OUR SHOW FOR THIS
TUESDAY NIGHT.
JOIN US TOMORROW NIGHT LIVE AT
7:00 P.M.
FOR ALL OF US HERE AT "CHICAGO
TONIGHT".
>> I'M BRANDIS FRIEDMAN.
STAY HEALTHY AND SAFE AND HAVE A
GOOD NIGHT.
