00:00:16,433 --> 00:00:18,133
joining us on Chicago tonight.

3
00:00:17,433 --> 00:00:21,266
I'm Brandis Friedman. Here's

4
00:00:18,133 --> 00:00:22,000
what we're looking at.

5
00:00:21,266 --> 00:00:23,800
>> We have heard that they're

6
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:27,200
targeting as many as 2000

7
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:28,366
people initially.

8
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:30,033
>> Illinois officials are

9
00:00:28,366 --> 00:00:30,633
bracing for potential

10
00:00:30,033 --> 00:00:31,333
immigration raids. Our

11
00:00:30,633 --> 00:00:34,966
spotlight politics team has

12
00:00:31,333 --> 00:00:36,400
the latest. Becoming and

13
00:00:34,966 --> 00:00:41,300
remaining a city has been a

14
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:41,866
bit of mayoral tug of war.

15
00:00:41,300 --> 00:00:42,600
>> President Trump's

16
00:00:41,866 --> 00:00:45,133
administration is threatening

17
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:45,833
to punish sanctuary cities. We

18
00:00:45,133 --> 00:00:47,833
explore Chicago's history has

19
00:00:45,833 --> 00:00:48,566
won and what it means.

20
00:00:47,833 --> 00:00:51,166
>> We've already been through

21
00:00:48,566 --> 00:00:51,733
what we've come to. So the

22
00:00:51,166 --> 00:00:54,833
thing is we've seen

23
00:00:51,733 --> 00:00:56,066
devastating times before.

24
00:00:54,833 --> 00:00:58,033
>> And he never shies away

25
00:00:56,066 --> 00:00:59,300
from telling us what he really

26
00:00:58,033 --> 00:01:00,666
thinks. Author Michael Eric

Dyson on Trump, affirmative

28
00:01:00,666 --> 00:01:04,666
action and the future of

29
00:01:01,333 --> 00:01:05,900
American cities.

30
00:01:04,666 --> 00:01:07,533
>> First off tonight, Illinois

31
00:01:05,900 --> 00:01:09,733
is now among a growing number

32
00:01:07,533 --> 00:01:10,900
of states suing to block

33
00:01:09,733 --> 00:01:13,166
President Donald Trump's

34
00:01:10,900 --> 00:01:14,033
executive order ending

35
00:01:13,166 --> 00:01:15,933
birthright citizenship. The

36
00:01:14,033 --> 00:01:18,000
order says children born to

37
00:01:15,933 --> 00:01:19,200

subject to the jurisdiction of

39
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,900

40
00:01:20,266 --> 00:01:24,066

efforts diametrically opposed

44

to American values and said in

a statement, quote, We need to

46
00:01:32,700 --> 00:01:35,833
discuss bipartisan commonsense

immigration reforms but

48
00:01:35,833 --> 00:01:39,266
denying birthright

49
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:40,000
citizenship, which dates back

50
00:01:39,266 --> 00:01:40,800
centuries and has been upheld

51
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:44,300
twice by the U.S. Supreme

52
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:44,933
Court is not the solution.

53
00:01:44,300 --> 00:01:46,366
Illinois is joined by

54
00:01:44,933 --> 00:01:48,500
Washington, Arizona and

55
00:01:46,366 --> 00:01:49,233
Oregon. Additional lawsuits

56
00:01:48,500 --> 00:01:53,400
have been filed by the ACLU

57
00:01:49,233 --> 00:01:54,100
and 18 other states.

58
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:56,433
Chicagoans could finally get

59
00:01:54,100 --> 00:01:57,600
some relief from the subzero

60
00:01:56,433 --> 00:01:59,533
temperatures soon. But some

61
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:01,500
light snow is on the way it is

62
00:01:59,533 --> 00:02:03,300
winter in Chicago. Looking

63
00:02:01,500 --> 00:02:04,033
ahead, Wednesday's forecast

64
00:02:03,300 --> 00:02:04,766
shows temperatures in the low

65
00:02:04,033 --> 00:02:05,400
to mid 20's and a chance for

66
00:02:04,766 --> 00:02:08,600
about an inch of snow

67
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:09,366
beginning in the afternoon. A

68
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,066
cold weather advisory is still

69
00:02:09,366 --> 00:02:12,833

to negative 20 degrees

72
00:02:13,500 --> 00:02:18,900

74
00:02:18,900 --> 00:02:22,333
everyone to cover all exposed

75
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,433

00:02:28,966 --> 00:02:30,800
Illinois is set to begin

80
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,633
phasing out of sub minimum

81
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:36,033
wage for disabled workers.

today to sign the dignity in

85
00:02:38,633 --> 00:02:42,466
pay act. The legislation will

86
00:02:40,966 --> 00:02:43,166
phase out the current voucher

87
00:02:42,466 --> 00:02:44,333
program employers can use to

88
00:02:43,166 --> 00:02:47,900
pay workers with disabilities

89
00:02:44,333 --> 00:02:49,166
by 2029 advocates say the

90
00:02:47,900 --> 00:02:51,933
program allows employers to

91
00:02:49,166 --> 00:02:52,800
pay disabled workers less than

92
00:02:51,933 --> 00:02:54,766
the minimum wage in the new

93
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:56,666
law ensures they receive fair

94
00:02:54,766 --> 00:02:58,333
wages. The new law also

95
00:02:56,666 --> 00:02:59,100
allocates funds for expanding

96
00:02:58,333 --> 00:03:02,866
work environments that support

97
00:02:59,100 --> 00:03:03,666
people with disabilities.

98
00:03:02,866 --> 00:03:06,800
>> No longer will individuals

99
00:03:03,666 --> 00:03:09,800

treatments just because the

disability.

104
00:03:15,333 --> 00:03:17,433
>> Bears fans, this one's for

105
00:03:16,733 --> 00:03:19,966
you because the Chicago Bears

106
00:03:17,433 --> 00:03:20,733
are making it official. The

107
00:03:19,966 --> 00:03:22,666
team announces they've tapped

108
00:03:20,733 --> 00:03:24,700
Ben Johnson as their next head

109
00:03:22,666 --> 00:03:26,533
coach Johnson spent the last 6

110
00:03:24,700 --> 00:03:28,866
seasons with the Detroit Lions

111
00:03:26,533 --> 00:03:30,566
most recently as defensive

112
00:03:28,866 --> 00:03:31,733
coordinator. The Lions have

113
00:03:30,566 --> 00:03:33,200
been offensive juggernaut as

114
00:03:31,733 --> 00:03:33,933
of late despite coming up

115
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:37,000
short in Saturday's playoff

116
00:03:33,933 --> 00:03:37,966
matchup against the Washington

117
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:38,666
commanders.

118
00:03:37,966 --> 00:03:40,300
>> The Lions averaged more

119
00:03:38,666 --> 00:03:42,266
yards and points per game than

120
00:03:40,300 --> 00:03:43,466
any other team in the league

121
00:03:42,266 --> 00:03:45,800
this season. The Bears could

122
00:03:43,466 --> 00:03:46,800
benefit that kind of help

123
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:49,700
after finishing 28 in points

124
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:50,466
per game this season, Johnson

125
00:03:49,700 --> 00:03:54,166
is set to address the media

126
00:03:50,466 --> 00:03:56,066
Wednesday at Halas Hall. The

128
00:03:56,066 --> 00:04:00,000
for the second year in a row,

129
00:03:57,100 --> 00:04:01,366
a legendary figure from WGN TV

130
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,600

top spot according to streets

136
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:12,133

people voted in the contest,

138
00:04:12,133 --> 00:04:15,233

exactly that means right after

held the designation of a

00:06:12,100 --> 00:06:13,900
deporting undocumented

197
00:06:13,033 --> 00:06:16,000
immigrants, churches opened

198
00:06:13,900 --> 00:06:16,833
their doors to provide shelter

199
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,566
in resources for Central

200
00:06:16,833 --> 00:06:20,900
Americans fleeing civil war

201
00:06:18,566 --> 00:06:22,733
and violence in Chicago

202
00:06:20,900 --> 00:06:23,633
becoming and remaining a

203
00:06:22,733 --> 00:06:27,766
stranger. Every city has been

204
00:06:23,633 --> 00:06:29,633
a bit of mayoral tug of Mayor

205
00:06:27,766 --> 00:06:30,366
Harold Washington first

206
00:06:29,633 --> 00:06:32,333
declared Chicago a stranger

207
00:06:30,366 --> 00:06:33,233
every city in 1985. Via

208
00:06:32,333 --> 00:06:34,700
executive order.

209
00:06:33,233 --> 00:06:37,366
>> The order prohibited police

210
00:06:34,700 --> 00:06:38,033
and city employees from

211
00:06:37,366 --> 00:06:39,600
questioning residents about

212
00:06:38,033 --> 00:06:40,300
their immigration status and

213
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:41,900
terminated cooperation with

214
00:06:40,300 --> 00:06:45,833
federal immigration

215
00:06:41,900 --> 00:06:46,500
authorities. Some argued the

216
00:06:45,833 --> 00:06:47,200
policy shielded convicted

217
00:06:46,500 --> 00:06:50,766
criminals from deportation.

218
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:51,466
And in the 1990's, Mayor

219
00:06:50,766 --> 00:06:53,733
Richard Daley interpreted the

220
00:06:51,466 --> 00:06:54,333
policy to allow city officials

221
00:06:53,733 --> 00:06:55,700
to provide immigration

222
00:06:54,333 --> 00:06:58,533
information to the Fed's the

223
00:06:55,700 --> 00:06:59,733
subjects were involved in

224
00:06:58,533 --> 00:07:02,566
serious crimes, Chicago, same

225
00:06:59,733 --> 00:07:03,266
tree policies when from

226
00:07:02,566 --> 00:07:05,100
executive order to a strong

227
00:07:03,266 --> 00:07:07,500
law with the 2006 welcoming

228
00:07:05,100 --> 00:07:10,000
city ordinance in 2012, Mayor

229
00:07:07,500 --> 00:07:10,633
Rahm Emanuel in the city

230
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:11,500
council weaken the law,

231
00:07:10,633 --> 00:07:13,666
allowing police to work with

232
00:07:11,500 --> 00:07:16,600
federal officials in limited

233
00:07:13,666 --> 00:07:18,533
cases reflection 2016,

234
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:20,566
President Donald Trump

235
00:07:18,533 --> 00:07:22,200
threatened century cities with

236
00:07:20,566 --> 00:07:22,866
the loss of federal dollars.

237
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,733
Nevertheless, Chicago City

238
00:07:22,866 --> 00:07:26,866
Council voted to reaffirm

239
00:07:24,733 --> 00:07:28,800
ordinance under Mayor Lori

240
00:07:26,866 --> 00:07:30,100
Lightfoot and expanded

241
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:32,600
welcoming ordinance close the

242
00:07:30,100 --> 00:07:33,333
loopholes open by Daley and

243
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,933
Emanuel banning all police

244
00:07:33,333 --> 00:07:37,733
cooperation with federal

245
00:07:35,933 --> 00:07:39,800
immigration authorities.

246
00:07:37,733 --> 00:07:41,033
Chicago enters its 40th year

247
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:43,066
as the same tree City Mayor

248
00:07:41,033 --> 00:07:45,100
Brandon Johnson has reaffirmed

249
00:07:43,066 --> 00:07:47,100
Chicago's commitment. And

250
00:07:45,100 --> 00:07:47,833
today thousands of refugees

251
00:07:47,100 --> 00:07:49,200
and undocumented immigrants

252
00:07:47,833 --> 00:07:52,266
have found a safe haven in

253
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:54,366
Chicago. A point of pride for

254
00:07:52,266 --> 00:07:55,133
those who believe offering

255
00:07:54,366 --> 00:07:55,866
sanctuary is a matter of human

256
00:07:55,133 --> 00:07:56,600
rights. The point of

257
00:07:55,866 --> 00:07:57,633
consternation for those see it

258
00:07:56,600 --> 00:08:07,166
as a hurdle for law

259
00:07:57,633 --> 00:08:08,200
enforcement.

260
00:08:07,166 --> 00:08:09,700
>> And you can find the rest

right after this.

Author and

266
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:35,966
professor Michael Eric Dyson

267
00:08:35,266 --> 00:08:37,000
is known for his rapid-fire

268

commentary threading hip-hop

make his point about politics,

272
00:08:42,866 --> 00:08:45,933
pop culture and certainly

273
00:08:43,500 --> 00:08:47,166
racial justice in America. The

274
00:08:45,933 --> 00:08:48,300
Vanderbilt professor was back

275
00:08:47,166 --> 00:08:49,333
in Chicago recently for a

276
00:08:48,300 --> 00:08:51,933
couple of Martin Luther King

277
00:08:49,333 --> 00:08:52,500
Junior Day observances,

278
00:08:51,933 --> 00:08:55,066
including the city's

279
00:08:52,500 --> 00:08:56,200
interfaith breakfast last week

280
00:08:55,066 --> 00:08:57,900
we sat down with him to get

281
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:59,400
thoughts on the latest

282
00:08:57,900 --> 00:09:01,533
starting with what he thinks

283
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:02,200
the next 4 years will be like

284
00:09:01,533 --> 00:09:02,833
now that President Donald

285
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:05,433
Trump has just begun his

286
00:09:02,833 --> 00:09:06,466
second term.

287
00:09:05,433 --> 00:09:07,700
>> Well, first of all, he's

288
00:09:06,466 --> 00:09:11,900
inheriting a tremendously

289
00:09:07,700 --> 00:09:13,066
robust economy. Much like the

290
00:09:11,900 --> 00:09:14,133
former President Obama said,

291
00:09:13,066 --> 00:09:15,600
yeah, you did a great cause. I

292
00:09:14,133 --> 00:09:17,666
gave you a great the economy.

293
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:20,300
He's inheriting yet another

294
00:09:17,666 --> 00:09:21,366
economy. Now during the

295
00:09:20,300 --> 00:09:22,100
election, you know, as

296
00:09:21,366 --> 00:09:23,566
politicians on both sides to

297
00:09:22,100 --> 00:09:26,433
be fair, want to do. It's doom

298
00:09:23,566 --> 00:09:27,133
and gloom for what the

299
00:09:26,433 --> 00:09:28,766
existing administration has

300
00:09:27,133 --> 00:09:29,866
done. We promised something

301
00:09:28,766 --> 00:09:32,633
different, but he's inheriting

302
00:09:29,866 --> 00:09:33,766
a rather robust economy. And

303
00:09:32,633 --> 00:09:34,400
if you can do anything to

304
00:09:33,766 --> 00:09:38,400
continue that we would

305
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:39,433
obviously be supportive at the

306
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:40,700
same time, he's already

307
00:09:39,433 --> 00:09:42,533
developed a list that of

308
00:09:40,700 --> 00:09:45,200
people that he wants to go

309
00:09:42,533 --> 00:09:49,333
after Liz Cheney, John Bolton,

310
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:50,100
and these are not raving

311
00:09:49,333 --> 00:09:52,133
left-wingers. Excuse me. These

312
00:09:50,100 --> 00:09:56,100
are not radical. Libertarians

313
00:09:52,133 --> 00:09:58,200
or even liberals. So the

314
00:09:56,100 --> 00:10:00,000
tragedy of the next 4 years

315
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:03,200
will be that if we're not able

316
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,933
to have government as usual

317
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:05,866
where the institutions prevail

318
00:10:03,933 --> 00:10:06,566
over any particular individual

319
00:10:05,866 --> 00:10:08,433
administration, although

320
00:10:06,566 --> 00:10:09,466
they're always impacted by

321
00:10:08,433 --> 00:10:12,100
them. And we have to both be

322
00:10:09,466 --> 00:10:13,400
conscious of the fact that he

323
00:10:12,100 --> 00:10:15,233
is the President United States

324
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:16,066
of America. But we must also

325
00:10:15,233 --> 00:10:16,833
oppose those things that we

326
00:10:16,066 --> 00:10:18,200
think are deeply and

327
00:10:16,833 --> 00:10:18,966
profoundly problematic. And

328
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:21,800
unfortunately, this probably

329
00:10:18,966 --> 00:10:22,833
going to be a lot to oppose.

330
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:23,900
>> You talk some of the

331
00:10:22,833 --> 00:10:25,533
country's most elite

332
00:10:23,900 --> 00:10:26,233
universities. And since

333
00:10:25,533 --> 00:10:27,766
Trump's first administration,

334
00:10:26,233 --> 00:10:28,900
we know the Supreme Court has

335
00:10:27,766 --> 00:10:32,600
struck down the use of race in

336
00:10:28,900 --> 00:10:33,266
college admissions. Some

337
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:36,466
universities have already

338
00:10:33,266 --> 00:10:38,400
started notice fewer black

339
00:10:36,466 --> 00:10:39,100
students enrolling, Hispanics

340
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:42,033
as well. Have you noticed a

341
00:10:39,100 --> 00:10:44,966
difference at Vanderbilt?

342
00:10:42,033 --> 00:10:46,133
>> Yeah, well, not immediately

343
00:10:44,966 --> 00:10:46,800
because Vanderbilt practices a

344
00:10:46,133 --> 00:10:49,133
variety of commitment to

345
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:50,433
diversity. That is not

346
00:10:49,133 --> 00:10:51,166
vulnerable. So what the law

347
00:10:50,433 --> 00:10:54,266
says you can you can evade the

348
00:10:51,166 --> 00:10:55,766
law. My point is, do you want

349
00:10:54,266 --> 00:10:56,833
the commercial with the

350
00:10:55,766 --> 00:10:59,733
product? You don't have to

351
00:10:56,833 --> 00:11:00,866
pronounce or an ounce. What it

352
00:10:59,733 --> 00:11:02,400
is that you're attempting to

353
00:11:00,866 --> 00:11:04,666
do because it's important to

354
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:06,300
have education that is diverse

355
00:11:04,666 --> 00:11:09,866
number of axes, race, class,

356
00:11:06,300 --> 00:11:12,133
gender, orientation, geography

357
00:11:09,866 --> 00:11:12,800
region, religion. So those

358
00:11:12,133 --> 00:11:13,600
things make for vibrant

359
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:17,366
classroom and you don't have

360
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:18,100
to offend any law of

361
00:11:17,366 --> 00:11:20,266
affirmative action to achieve

362
00:11:18,100 --> 00:11:21,400
those goals. You have to be

363
00:11:20,266 --> 00:11:22,100
conscious. You have to be

364
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:23,966
intentional and you have to

365
00:11:22,100 --> 00:11:25,166
understand what makes for a

366
00:11:23,966 --> 00:11:27,900
vibrant classroom even before

367
00:11:25,166 --> 00:11:29,966
dei or affirmative action. You

368
00:11:27,900 --> 00:11:31,233
know, when there were no black

369
00:11:29,966 --> 00:11:31,933
people involved and no women,

370
00:11:31,233 --> 00:11:34,333
how did they decide who got

371
00:11:31,933 --> 00:11:35,466
into Harvard, Princeton, Yale,

372
00:11:34,333 --> 00:11:38,366
right? You're a violent player

373
00:11:35,466 --> 00:11:39,666
from Oklahoma and we don't

374
00:11:38,366 --> 00:11:40,366
have people coming from there.

375
00:11:39,666 --> 00:11:42,966
We need you. So there was

376
00:11:40,366 --> 00:11:44,933
already a diversity of

377
00:11:42,966 --> 00:11:46,966
application even before gender

378
00:11:44,933 --> 00:11:48,166
race came into play. And I

379
00:11:46,966 --> 00:11:50,200
suspect we'll have to lean

380
00:11:48,166 --> 00:11:51,566
upon those issues. Having said

381
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:54,766
that, there's no denying

382
00:11:51,566 --> 00:11:57,900
looking at Harvard thing in

383
00:11:54,766 --> 00:11:58,666
there. Law school class an

384
00:11:57,900 --> 00:12:01,833
extreme diminishment of of the

385
00:11:58,666 --> 00:12:03,933
pool of diverse people. They

386
00:12:01,833 --> 00:12:05,966
are. That's to the detriment

387
00:12:03,933 --> 00:12:06,733
of America, right? If America

388
00:12:05,966 --> 00:12:08,866
Fund ultimately said, hey, we

389
00:12:06,733 --> 00:12:10,133
don't want black people, you

390
00:12:08,866 --> 00:12:11,733
know, in these arenas, then

391
00:12:10,133 --> 00:12:13,066
we'd have no Michael Jordan in

392
00:12:11,733 --> 00:12:13,900
basketball because without

393
00:12:13,066 --> 00:12:14,966
affirmative action, Michael

394
00:12:13,900 --> 00:12:17,800
Jordan would have never played

395
00:12:14,966 --> 00:12:18,633
in the NBA without the

396
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:20,300
conscious attempt to bring in

397
00:12:18,633 --> 00:12:21,533
people who have been

398
00:12:20,300 --> 00:12:23,333
historically denied. We would

399
00:12:21,533 --> 00:12:25,666
have never enjoyed his skills

400
00:12:23,333 --> 00:12:27,233
or so. So my point is that it

401
00:12:25,666 --> 00:12:29,100
is extremely important for us

402
00:12:27,233 --> 00:12:29,966
to continue to practice a

403
00:12:29,100 --> 00:12:32,933
variety of diversity in

404
00:12:29,966 --> 00:12:33,700
education, even be on the

405
00:12:32,933 --> 00:12:36,233
official or legal restrictions

406
00:12:33,700 --> 00:12:37,900
of affirmative action.

407
00:12:36,233 --> 00:12:39,966
>> And at the same time,

408
00:12:37,900 --> 00:12:41,266
companies are slashing their

409
00:12:39,966 --> 00:12:43,566
dei initiatives. Many had been

410
00:12:41,266 --> 00:12:44,266
quietly scaling long before

411
00:12:43,566 --> 00:12:44,833
this most recent election

412
00:12:44,266 --> 00:12:46,333
because there's some

413
00:12:44,833 --> 00:12:48,233
reflections that people think

414
00:12:46,333 --> 00:12:50,033
that to the big companies are

415
00:12:48,233 --> 00:12:51,833
doing it to cozy up to

416
00:12:50,033 --> 00:12:52,533
President Trump. What do you

417
00:12:51,833 --> 00:12:54,666
think of that? Were reduced

418
00:12:52,533 --> 00:12:55,700
company Sussex, sincere in the

419
00:12:54,666 --> 00:12:56,433
first place?

420
00:12:55,700 --> 00:12:58,233
>> Probably not or they were,

421
00:12:56,433 --> 00:13:00,266
but they feel intimidated and

422
00:12:58,233 --> 00:13:01,933
they run, you know, hide at

423
00:13:00,266 --> 00:13:03,133
the first prospect of

424
00:13:01,933 --> 00:13:03,833
resistance. I think black

425
00:13:03,133 --> 00:13:07,600
people in others have to

426
00:13:03,833 --> 00:13:08,666
practice dei, too, did not

427
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:09,766
economic investment, right?

428
00:13:08,666 --> 00:13:10,500
Get involved in a boycott

429
00:13:09,766 --> 00:13:14,566
yourselves. I mean, if Walmart

430
00:13:10,500 --> 00:13:15,433
thinks that it's OK to seize

431
00:13:14,566 --> 00:13:17,200
your program, it's all right

432
00:13:15,433 --> 00:13:21,033
for us to seize our economic

433
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:22,200
investment or again, we can

434
00:13:21,033 --> 00:13:23,200
ask Walmart you can get rid of

435
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:24,900
the official dei program, but

436
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:28,200
do the things that you know

437
00:13:24,900 --> 00:13:29,000
are consciously encouraging

438
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:32,800
your customers, a number of

439
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:34,066
whom are people of color to be

440
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:34,666
involved. So again, there are

441
00:13:34,066 --> 00:13:37,300
ways around the legal

442
00:13:34,666 --> 00:13:39,200
restrictions that have been

443
00:13:37,300 --> 00:13:42,000
imposed and affirmative

444
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:43,866
action, you know, rulings for

445
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:46,233
education have been taken so

446
00:13:43,866 --> 00:13:48,833
rapidly and readily by these

447
00:13:46,233 --> 00:13:49,500
companies. Those were not the

448
00:13:48,833 --> 00:13:50,200
rulings for them, but they

449
00:13:49,500 --> 00:13:53,400
figure well, let's let's go

450
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:54,133
along and do the same thing.

451
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:55,300
Well, lets do the same thing

452
00:13:54,133 --> 00:13:56,333
when a right just causes

453
00:13:55,300 --> 00:13:58,500
championed and you want to see

454
00:13:56,333 --> 00:14:00,666
the kind of spreading of a

455
00:13:58,500 --> 00:14:02,833
good idea, which is diversity,

456
00:14:00,666 --> 00:14:05,266
which is having a workforce

457
00:14:02,833 --> 00:14:06,133
that reflects those who

458
00:14:05,266 --> 00:14:06,766
constitute our communities or

459
00:14:06,133 --> 00:14:09,733
those who are consumers.

460
00:14:06,766 --> 00:14:10,866
There's always a way to get to

461
00:14:09,733 --> 00:14:12,700
the issue of diversity in a

462
00:14:10,866 --> 00:14:14,066
creative fashion. If you have

463
00:14:12,700 --> 00:14:14,866
the desire or the intent and

464
00:14:14,066 --> 00:14:17,866
for those corporations that

465
00:14:14,866 --> 00:14:18,266
don't do it, we've got to make

466
00:14:17,866 --> 00:14:18,966
them pay.

467
00:14:18,266 --> 00:14:21,666
>> What do you think of the

468
00:14:18,966 --> 00:14:22,900
state of American cities right

469
00:14:21,666 --> 00:14:23,633
now? And do you think some of

470
00:14:22,900 --> 00:14:25,800
those cities and you know who

471
00:14:23,633 --> 00:14:26,533
are mostly governed by

472
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:27,800
Democrats, will they suffer

473
00:14:26,533 --> 00:14:28,533
under a Trump There's no

474
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:31,366
question. He's a vitriolic,

475
00:14:28,533 --> 00:14:31,766
vicious man. He small-minded

476
00:14:31,366 --> 00:14:33,600
and petty.

477
00:14:31,766 --> 00:14:35,633
>> He's in group. Previously.

478
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:36,366
Chi is a foolish fashion

479
00:14:35,633 --> 00:14:37,266
season them with a dictator.

480
00:14:36,366 --> 00:14:37,966
But that's on a good day. And

481
00:14:37,266 --> 00:14:38,733
it's nice when you really

482
00:14:37,966 --> 00:14:39,500
think, right? I mean, this is

483
00:14:38,733 --> 00:14:42,600
what he's done. He's performed

484
00:14:39,500 --> 00:14:43,700
these things. However, I would

485
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:45,266
say to those mayors, a number

486
00:14:43,700 --> 00:14:47,433
of whom happen to be

487
00:14:45,266 --> 00:14:48,166
African-American. If you have

488
00:14:47,433 --> 00:14:48,900
an opportunity to work with

489
00:14:48,166 --> 00:14:50,400
him and forge a connection in

490
00:14:48,900 --> 00:14:52,333
a way that's beneficial to

491
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:53,066
your city. Go ahead. I'm a

492
00:14:52,333 --> 00:14:56,633
social critic. My job is to

493
00:14:53,066 --> 00:14:58,400
bring the force of critique to

494
00:14:56,633 --> 00:14:59,100
bear. But here we are in

495
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:02,366
Chicago. Think about Brandon

496
00:14:59,100 --> 00:15:03,066
Johnson, an extraordinary man,

497
00:15:02,366 --> 00:15:05,833
intelligent, well versed, a

498
00:15:03,066 --> 00:15:08,000
union man, a man who's an

499
00:15:05,833 --> 00:15:08,833
educator. Look, nobody is

500
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:09,566
immune to criticism. So

501
00:15:08,833 --> 00:15:11,933
everybody in that office has

502
00:15:09,566 --> 00:15:15,100
to be prepared. But the piling

503
00:15:11,933 --> 00:15:16,333
on when I think about Brandon

504
00:15:15,100 --> 00:15:18,233
Scott in Baltimore who is seen

505
00:15:16,333 --> 00:15:21,300
as the dei mayor or Karen Bass

506
00:15:18,233 --> 00:15:23,333
because a bridge collapsed

507
00:15:21,300 --> 00:15:24,666
because of a ship being out of

508
00:15:23,333 --> 00:15:26,733
place. Right? Or Karen Bass

509
00:15:24,666 --> 00:15:28,233
with the wildfires there in

510
00:15:26,733 --> 00:15:28,933
Los Angeles and being

511
00:15:28,233 --> 00:15:31,733
pummeled. Well, Brandon

512
00:15:28,933 --> 00:15:34,200
Johnson here in Chicago,

513
00:15:31,733 --> 00:15:35,100
despite the economic reversals

514
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:37,966
of fortune for those who are

515
00:15:35,100 --> 00:15:38,700
less fortunate and vulnerable

516
00:15:37,966 --> 00:15:40,966
into something more powerful.

517
00:15:38,700 --> 00:15:43,300
So we've got to say on the one

518
00:15:40,966 --> 00:15:44,300
hand, let's pay attention to

519
00:15:43,300 --> 00:15:44,933
the wind, which there's a

520
00:15:44,300 --> 00:15:46,033
relationship between the

521
00:15:44,933 --> 00:15:46,866
federal government and the

522
00:15:46,033 --> 00:15:48,566
local government and what

523
00:15:46,866 --> 00:15:50,000
goodies you can drive for your

524
00:15:48,566 --> 00:15:50,900
people. And at the same time,

525
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:54,733
hold a proudly the banner of

526
00:15:50,900 --> 00:15:56,666
commitment to the vulnerable

527
00:15:54,733 --> 00:15:58,666
and cities suffer to a degree.

528
00:15:56,666 --> 00:15:59,966
But they got to fight back. I

529
00:15:58,666 --> 00:16:00,733
mean, the what Trump has shown

530
00:15:59,966 --> 00:16:02,600
is that if you are willing to

531
00:16:00,733 --> 00:16:04,800
raise your voice and speak up

532
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:05,900
and say what you believe is

533
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:06,733
true. There are at least

534
00:16:05,900 --> 00:16:07,433
enough people who will rally

535
00:16:06,733 --> 00:16:11,333
around you to be able to

536
00:16:07,433 --> 00:16:13,000
defend your position and forge

537
00:16:11,333 --> 00:16:13,666
a kind of coalition that might

538
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:16,300
have significant political

539
00:16:13,666 --> 00:16:17,000
impact in the real world.

540
00:16:16,300 --> 00:16:17,700
>> All right. That's where

541
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:18,366
have to leave EU. Professor

542
00:16:17,700 --> 00:16:28,866
Michael Eric Dyson can see

543
00:16:18,366 --> 00:16:28,866
you. Thanks for having

544
00:16:38,066 --> 00:16:39,933
>> Closing arguments begin

545
00:16:39,133 --> 00:16:40,700
tomorrow in the corruption

546
00:16:39,933 --> 00:16:42,966
trial of former Illinois House

Speaker Michael Madigan.

548
00:16:42,966 --> 00:16:44,966
Meanwhile, President Donald

549
00:16:44,066 --> 00:16:47,400
Trump's January 6th pardons

550
00:16:44,966 --> 00:16:48,500
will help more than 50

551
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:49,633
Illinois defendants and the

552
00:16:48,500 --> 00:16:51,000
mayor and Governor Breeze for

553
00:16:49,633 --> 00:16:53,200
the president's threats of

554
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:55,033
mass deportations beginning in

555
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:56,366
Chicago. You're with all that

556
00:16:55,033 --> 00:16:58,366
and more is our spotlight

560
00:17:01,633 --> 00:17:03,133
start with the president's

561
00:17:02,300 --> 00:17:08,700
warnings of an imminent

562
00:17:03,133 --> 00:17:11,666
immigration crackdown.

rumors of a large scrapes

in Chicago this morning. Have

579
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:44,133
we seen anything so far? No,

580
00:17:42,066 --> 00:17:45,066
there were no widespread raids

581
00:17:44,133 --> 00:17:46,000
anywhere in the country. Best

582
00:17:45,066 --> 00:17:48,700
we can tell. And this is

583
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:49,533
something that President Trump

584
00:17:48,700 --> 00:17:51,866
wants people to see. He has

585
00:17:49,533 --> 00:17:53,500
made this sort of a big part

586
00:17:51,866 --> 00:17:57,166
of his, you know, approach to

587
00:17:53,500 --> 00:17:58,366
this early days of his

588
00:17:57,166 --> 00:18:00,133
>> administration. And it's

589
00:17:58,366 --> 00:18:00,766
not clear why they didn't

590
00:18:00,133 --> 00:18:02,033
happen today. As first

591
00:18:00,766 --> 00:18:03,266
reported by the Wall Street

592
00:18:02,033 --> 00:18:04,333
Journal, there was further

593
00:18:03,266 --> 00:18:06,000
reporting by The Washington

594
00:18:04,333 --> 00:18:06,700
Post that said that maybe this

595
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:10,233
was leaked and that made I

596
00:18:06,700 --> 00:18:11,700
sort of rethink its plans. But

597
00:18:10,233 --> 00:18:12,500
for undocumented immigrants

598
00:18:11,700 --> 00:18:14,400
who number in the thousands of

599
00:18:12,500 --> 00:18:16,433
Chicago that the threat has

600
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:17,900
not passed. And I think this

601
00:18:16,433 --> 00:18:19,433
was just sort of an additional

602
00:18:17,900 --> 00:18:21,533
24 hour period perhaps to give

603
00:18:19,433 --> 00:18:22,800
people a little bit more

604
00:18:21,533 --> 00:18:24,433
chance to prepare, although

605
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:26,133
there was additional news

606
00:18:24,433 --> 00:18:27,000
today from the president on

607
00:18:26,133 --> 00:18:28,866
immigration. He has revoked

608
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:31,900
the policy that prohibited ice

609
00:18:28,866 --> 00:18:33,866
from detaining or arresting

610
00:18:31,900 --> 00:18:34,533
immigrants at said, quote,

611
00:18:33,866 --> 00:18:35,200
quote, unquote, sense of

612
00:18:34,533 --> 00:18:37,066
locations, which includes

613
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:39,200
churches and schools. Now we

614
00:18:37,066 --> 00:18:41,000
in Chicago are very familiar

615
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:42,100
with sort of the use of

616
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:44,966
churches, a sanctuary from

617
00:18:42,100 --> 00:18:46,966
people sort declining to

618
00:18:44,966 --> 00:18:49,000
comply with deportation

619
00:18:46,966 --> 00:18:49,600
efforts. That will not be sort

620
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:50,333
of something that ICE

621
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:51,966
recognizes going forward

622
00:18:50,333 --> 00:18:53,233
according to the sword. And

623
00:18:51,966 --> 00:18:54,066
meanwhile, of course, about

624
00:18:53,233 --> 00:18:54,833
entire communities of

625
00:18:54,066 --> 00:18:56,133
immigrants and their families

626
00:18:54,833 --> 00:18:58,266
who are in a state of fear

627
00:18:56,133 --> 00:18:59,966
right now. Heather, how did

628
00:18:58,266 --> 00:19:01,200
Mayor Johnson respond to these

629
00:18:59,966 --> 00:19:02,100
mass deportation threats? What

630
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:04,066
we heard from him briefly on

631
00:19:02,100 --> 00:19:05,200
Martin Luther King Day saying

632
00:19:04,066 --> 00:19:05,933
that the city would continue

633
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:08,633
to live its values and that

634
00:19:05,933 --> 00:19:09,366
the city was being tested.

635
00:19:08,633 --> 00:19:10,633
>> However, he did not have a

636
00:19:09,366 --> 00:19:12,933
public schedule today, which

637
00:19:10,633 --> 00:19:13,600
was it's very different from

638
00:19:12,933 --> 00:19:15,633
the governor who spent a

639
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:18,566
little bit of time yesterday

640
00:19:15,633 --> 00:19:19,966
in Little village, talking to

641
00:19:18,566 --> 00:19:21,733
businesses who have seen their

642
00:19:19,966 --> 00:19:22,466
sort customers sort of decline

643
00:19:21,733 --> 00:19:23,800
precipitously as people sort

644
00:19:22,466 --> 00:19:24,800
of stay away from public

645
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:26,400
areas. We didn't hear from him

646
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:28,400
today. And in fact, his press

647
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:29,433
office, as far as I can tell,

648
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:32,766
didn't send out his schedule

649
00:19:29,433 --> 00:19:34,233
as they normally do. And the

650
00:19:32,766 --> 00:19:35,000
days interesting. All right.

651
00:19:34,233 --> 00:19:35,900
Feels like that's something to

652
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:38,100
talk about next week. of

653
00:19:35,900 --> 00:19:39,166
today, Governor Pritzker, do

654
00:19:38,100 --> 00:19:39,866
he did. As you mentioned, you

655
00:19:39,166 --> 00:19:40,500
talked about the president's

656
00:19:39,866 --> 00:19:41,100
comments and how they've

657
00:19:40,500 --> 00:19:44,166
impacted the immigrant

658
00:19:41,100 --> 00:19:44,700
community.

659
00:19:44,166 --> 00:19:45,333
>> We should have

660
00:19:44,700 --> 00:19:49,000
comprehensive immigration

661
00:19:45,333 --> 00:19:50,200
reform in this country and not

662
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:54,000
simply have a president who is

663
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:55,833
scaring people. Forcing them

664
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,600
out of their jobs because

665
00:19:55,833 --> 00:19:58,866
they're afraid to go to work.

666
00:19:56,600 --> 00:20:02,100
You go 26 Godo to little

667
00:19:58,866 --> 00:20:05,133
village, go to pills. I was

668
00:20:02,100 --> 00:20:05,900
there yesterday. I was in

669
00:20:05,133 --> 00:20:06,533
businesses yesterday that

670
00:20:05,900 --> 00:20:10,500
relatively empty because

671
00:20:06,533 --> 00:20:11,666
people are afraid to show up.

672
00:20:10,500 --> 00:20:13,566
>> Amanda, what else to the

673
00:20:11,666 --> 00:20:14,600
governor had to say about this

674
00:20:13,566 --> 00:20:16,433
looming immigration crackdown?

675
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:17,700
He said that Illinois has

676
00:20:16,433 --> 00:20:18,600
received no communication from

677
00:20:17,700 --> 00:20:19,466
the Trump administration about

678
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:20,200
what may or may not calm. And

679
00:20:19,466 --> 00:20:22,100
he says he believes that's

680
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:25,033
intentional. Part of this

681
00:20:22,100 --> 00:20:26,133
theme of sowing chaos and

682
00:20:25,033 --> 00:20:26,933
fear. He also made a point is

683
00:20:26,133 --> 00:20:30,533
he he's sort of done more and

684
00:20:26,933 --> 00:20:31,700
more often lately of saying

685
00:20:30,533 --> 00:20:34,300
that he believes violent

686
00:20:31,700 --> 00:20:36,466
criminals who are here and are

687
00:20:34,300 --> 00:20:39,466
undocumented should not be

688
00:20:36,466 --> 00:20:41,300
protected by Illinois by ICE.

689
00:20:39,466 --> 00:20:43,333
He says that that is something

690
00:20:41,300 --> 00:20:44,100
that is already illegal. And

691
00:20:43,333 --> 00:20:45,200
he believes that they doesn't

692
00:20:44,100 --> 00:20:46,266
want in Illinois. He doesn't

693
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,200
want him in the country. I

694
00:20:46,266 --> 00:20:48,333
think that the governor is

695
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:51,266
making a point of this. Each

696
00:20:48,333 --> 00:20:51,966
time he speaks on immigration

697
00:20:51,266 --> 00:20:53,233
truly on is there political

698
00:20:51,966 --> 00:20:55,300
reasons or really to connect

699
00:20:53,233 --> 00:20:56,200
with people who are concerned

700
00:20:55,300 --> 00:20:58,500
about this threat that you

701
00:20:56,200 --> 00:21:00,166
hear voiced by the president.

702
00:20:58,500 --> 00:21:02,200
Now, the United States

703
00:21:00,166 --> 00:21:03,266
continuously that there are

704
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:03,933
criminals amongst our midst

705
00:21:03,266 --> 00:21:05,266
who are are scary and could

706
00:21:03,933 --> 00:21:07,233
hurt them. So he makes a point

707
00:21:05,266 --> 00:21:09,133
really to say that in his

708
00:21:07,233 --> 00:21:10,500
remarks while noting that the

709
00:21:09,133 --> 00:21:11,466
vast majority of undocumented

710
00:21:10,500 --> 00:21:12,700
immigrants are not criminals

711
00:21:11,466 --> 00:21:13,766
do not have a criminal record

712
00:21:12,700 --> 00:21:17,633
and are sort of not engaged in

713
00:21:13,766 --> 00:21:18,400
any illicit activity. And is

714
00:21:17,633 --> 00:21:20,733
Pritzker saying anything about

715
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:21,433
whether the state can protect

716
00:21:20,733 --> 00:21:22,200
any undocumented immigrants

717
00:21:21,433 --> 00:21:24,566
from deportation? He continues

718
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:25,500
to say that Illinois will

719
00:21:24,566 --> 00:21:27,466
stand up for its values and

720
00:21:25,500 --> 00:21:28,133
keep the keep people safe.

721
00:21:27,466 --> 00:21:28,900
Illinois has the trust act

722
00:21:28,133 --> 00:21:31,300
that provides really sanctuary

723
00:21:28,900 --> 00:21:32,200
status and says that and law

724
00:21:31,300 --> 00:21:35,200
enforcement cannot be working

725
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:36,000
with ICE on deportation

726
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:36,733
orders. So he could be on that

727
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:39,133
that we don't have a lot of

728
00:21:36,733 --> 00:21:41,233
details. But but but Illinois

729
00:21:39,133 --> 00:21:43,300
is joined with 3 other states

730
00:21:41,233 --> 00:21:44,000
to file suit now against the

731
00:21:43,300 --> 00:21:47,166
Trump administration seeking

732
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:49,133
to block it from implementing

733
00:21:47,166 --> 00:21:50,500
executive order that would end

734
00:21:49,133 --> 00:21:51,166
the right place citizenship.

735
00:21:50,500 --> 00:21:52,233
So that's certainly a big

736
00:21:51,166 --> 00:21:55,466
action on the part of the

737
00:21:52,233 --> 00:21:56,500
state. So another one of

738
00:21:55,466 --> 00:21:57,400
President Trump's many

739
00:21:56,500 --> 00:21:58,400
executive orders. orders

740
00:21:57,400 --> 00:21:59,366
signed yesterday, though,

741
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:01,300
Nick, he pardoned those who

742
00:21:59,366 --> 00:22:02,166
are involved in the January

743
00:22:01,300 --> 00:22:03,300
6th attack of ways. As we've

744
00:22:02,166 --> 00:22:04,466
mentioned, how many

745
00:22:03,300 --> 00:22:05,133
Illinoisans are impacted here?

746
00:22:04,466 --> 00:22:06,500
That's right. This is a

747
00:22:05,133 --> 00:22:09,166
sweeping order. More than 1500

748
00:22:06,500 --> 00:22:11,300
people from all 50 states who

749
00:22:09,166 --> 00:22:12,033
have been caught up in this

750
00:22:11,300 --> 00:22:13,866
probe of the January 6th riot.

751
00:22:12,033 --> 00:22:16,566
More than 50 Illinois were a

752
00:22:13,866 --> 00:22:17,733
part of this mass pardoning.

753
00:22:16,566 --> 00:22:19,833
>> Of which all but a handful

754
00:22:17,733 --> 00:22:20,533
of them had already been

755
00:22:19,833 --> 00:22:21,300
convicted for, you know, for

756
00:22:20,533 --> 00:22:23,100
the crimes that some of them

757
00:22:21,300 --> 00:22:24,466
had already served, you know,

758
00:22:23,100 --> 00:22:25,933
prison time or probation. Some

759
00:22:24,466 --> 00:22:28,000
of them were still behind

760
00:22:25,933 --> 00:22:30,733
bars. But yet prosecutors

761
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:31,433
began formal dismissal

762
00:22:30,733 --> 00:22:33,966
proceedings today to to do

763
00:22:31,433 --> 00:22:35,833
away with with the outstanding

764
00:22:33,966 --> 00:22:36,466
cases in these include people

765
00:22:35,833 --> 00:22:37,966
from far right extremist

766
00:22:36,466 --> 00:22:39,566
groups like the Oath Keepers,

767
00:22:37,966 --> 00:22:40,600
like the Proud Boys. In fact,

768
00:22:39,566 --> 00:22:44,366
Trump commuted sentences from

769
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:44,933
leaders of those 2 groups.

770
00:22:44,366 --> 00:22:45,700
There was, you know,

771
00:22:44,933 --> 00:22:48,133
high-profile case of a former

772
00:22:45,700 --> 00:22:48,833
Chicago police officer who was

773
00:22:48,133 --> 00:22:52,166
sentenced to probation after

774
00:22:48,833 --> 00:22:53,700
January 6, them lost his job

775
00:22:52,166 --> 00:22:54,333
and his attorney has even

776
00:22:53,700 --> 00:22:55,066
given quotes to to the

777
00:22:54,333 --> 00:22:56,100
sometimes to the Tribune. Us

778
00:22:55,066 --> 00:22:58,766
are reporting today saying

779
00:22:56,100 --> 00:22:59,500
that he was scapegoated. He's

780
00:22:58,766 --> 00:23:01,700
trying perhaps try to get his

781
00:22:59,500 --> 00:23:03,866
job back on the force,

782
00:23:01,700 --> 00:23:05,200
although that is probably a

783
00:23:03,866 --> 00:23:05,933
very unlikely outcome during

784
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:06,700
that something that will be

785
00:23:05,933 --> 00:23:08,200
keeping an eye for just to see

786
00:23:06,700 --> 00:23:10,066
whether or not that actually

787
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:10,733
happens.

788
00:23:10,066 --> 00:23:12,133
>> Imagine trial. Closing

789
00:23:10,733 --> 00:23:13,100
arguments expected to start

790
00:23:12,133 --> 00:23:13,700
tomorrow. This the last

791
00:23:13,100 --> 00:23:14,433
chance, of course, for

792
00:23:13,700 --> 00:23:17,300
attorneys to make their pitch

793
00:23:14,433 --> 00:23:18,200
to the jury. Amanda, Nick,

794
00:23:17,300 --> 00:23:19,100
that have come to you first.

795
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:20,033
Amanda, what are some of your

796
00:23:19,100 --> 00:23:21,033
your thoughts on that? The

797
00:23:20,033 --> 00:23:21,800
main point that they're going

798
00:23:21,033 --> 00:23:24,133
to try and get home? Well, as

799
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:25,066
we've been talking about, you

800
00:23:24,133 --> 00:23:27,000
had magic and take the stand

801
00:23:25,066 --> 00:23:27,733
and the this was a jury that

802
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:29,166
selected because they didn't

803
00:23:27,733 --> 00:23:31,166
know a lot about Illinois

804
00:23:29,166 --> 00:23:35,066
politics. So well, anybody who

805
00:23:31,166 --> 00:23:37,200
has been following our program

806
00:23:35,066 --> 00:23:41,200
certainly knows about his. You

807
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:41,933
don't really vaunted status in

808
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:42,700
Illinois. these are people who

809
00:23:41,933 --> 00:23:43,433
might not know that he got on

810
00:23:42,700 --> 00:23:44,133
the stand and presented

811
00:23:43,433 --> 00:23:46,433
himself as somebody who was

812
00:23:44,133 --> 00:23:48,733
not confrontational and

813
00:23:46,433 --> 00:23:51,366
>> therefore, that's why he

814
00:23:48,733 --> 00:23:53,433
didn't maybe speak harshly

815
00:23:51,366 --> 00:23:54,733
when former Alderman Danny

816
00:23:53,433 --> 00:23:55,733
Solis brought up a quid pro

817
00:23:54,733 --> 00:23:57,766
quo. So I think you're going

818
00:23:55,733 --> 00:23:59,466
to hear that sort defense. He

819
00:23:57,766 --> 00:24:00,133
is.

820
00:23:59,466 --> 00:24:01,433
>> A grandpa. He worked

821
00:24:00,133 --> 00:24:02,333
tremendously hard as he had

822
00:24:01,433 --> 00:24:03,166
witnesses there. And I think

823
00:24:02,333 --> 00:24:06,800
what I'm really going to be

824
00:24:03,166 --> 00:24:08,700
watching for is how hard his

825
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:09,933
team and McClain's team go

826
00:24:08,700 --> 00:24:10,866
against one another. This is

827
00:24:09,933 --> 00:24:11,933
something that his

828
00:24:10,866 --> 00:24:16,566
co-defendant and former good

829
00:24:11,933 --> 00:24:17,333
friend Mike McClain, a

830
00:24:16,566 --> 00:24:18,066
lobbyist had both we want to

831
00:24:17,333 --> 00:24:18,933
separate their it court case

832
00:24:18,066 --> 00:24:19,933
because they were afraid that

833
00:24:18,933 --> 00:24:20,933
it would be pointing fingers

834
00:24:19,933 --> 00:24:22,233
at the other. How much that's

835
00:24:20,933 --> 00:24:23,366
going to happen. quick. Yeah.

836
00:24:22,233 --> 00:24:24,300
There was a motion, you know,

837
00:24:23,366 --> 00:24:26,166
saying these they may at the

838
00:24:24,300 --> 00:24:27,966
Madigan Act. A second

839
00:24:26,166 --> 00:24:28,733
prosecutors. I think

840
00:24:27,966 --> 00:24:30,166
prosecutors in particular are

841
00:24:28,733 --> 00:24:31,633
going to have to really do

842
00:24:30,166 --> 00:24:33,566
their best to simplify what an

843
00:24:31,633 --> 00:24:34,466
incredibly complex case into

844
00:24:33,566 --> 00:24:35,200
Amanda's point.

845
00:24:34,466 --> 00:24:37,200
>> Make clear just how

846
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:39,300
significant of a figure Mike

847
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:40,000
Madigan was. They have had,

848
00:24:39,300 --> 00:24:41,733
you know, countless hours of

849
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:43,700
testimony and secret

850
00:24:41,733 --> 00:24:44,366
recordings, they're going to

851
00:24:43,700 --> 00:24:45,133
have to, as they've been

852
00:24:44,366 --> 00:24:47,666
trying to do all along, boil

853
00:24:45,133 --> 00:24:49,066
this down as simple as terms

854
00:24:47,666 --> 00:24:51,900
as possible. Although, you

855
00:24:49,066 --> 00:24:52,633
know, we expect prosecutor is

856
00:24:51,900 --> 00:24:55,733
closing to go Wednesday and

857
00:24:52,633 --> 00:24:56,400
Thursday. There will be no

858
00:24:55,733 --> 00:24:57,133
defense. There will be a

859
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:58,033
rebuttal. There will be long

860
00:24:57,133 --> 00:24:59,833
jury instructions. So this is

861
00:24:58,033 --> 00:25:01,033
not over yet. I think I think

862
00:24:59,833 --> 00:25:03,133
jury I think it's pose to go

863
00:25:01,033 --> 00:25:03,833
to the jury next week. That's

864
00:25:03,133 --> 00:25:04,600
the plan. Obviously that can

865
00:25:03,833 --> 00:25:07,633
shift what it will say. It's

866
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:08,633
been a big trial. So what?

867
00:25:07,633 --> 00:25:09,533
>> What's a few more days,

868
00:25:08,633 --> 00:25:10,233
everybody. All right. That

869
00:25:09,533 --> 00:25:10,966
spotlight, whether she wrote

870
00:25:10,233 --> 00:25:14,000
