376
00:12:51,833 --> 00:12:54,800
MENTIONED, CEO PEDRO MARTINEZ

377
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,766
JOINED US YESTERDAY. HE SAID

378
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:56,833
THAT ALTHOUGH THERE IS AN

379
00:12:55,766 --> 00:12:58,900
AGREEMENT THAT THERE NEEDS TO

380
00:12:56,833 --> 00:12:59,666
BE MORE RESOURCES PUT TOWARDS

381
00:12:58,900 --> 00:13:00,366
SCHOOLS, HE SHARED THAT THERE

382
00:12:59,666 --> 00:13:04,533
ARE STILL IMPROVEMENTS BEING

383
00:13:00,366 --> 00:13:05,333
MADE. NOW, WHEN YOU LOOK AT

384
00:13:04,533 --> 00:13:06,033
OUR NEIGHBORHOOD SCHOOLS, THE

385
00:13:05,333 --> 00:13:09,266
AMOUNT RESOURCES THAT THEY

386
00:13:06,033 --> 00:13:10,033
HAVE A MEAN AND GET IT. TAKE

387
00:13:09,266 --> 00:13:11,733
MY WORD FOR I WOULD INVITE YOU

388
00:13:10,033 --> 00:13:12,400
TO COME TO OUR SCHOOLS, COME

00:13:11,733 --> 00:13:13,100
VISIT OUR CLASSES. NOW THE

390
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:14,300
BUILDINGS WILL THERE'S A LOT

391
00:13:13,100 --> 00:13:16,366
OF ON THE FACILITY SITE. BUT

392
00:13:14,300 --> 00:13:17,666
WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE RICH

393
00:13:16,366 --> 00:13:18,500
PROGRAMMING, THE ELECTIVES

394
00:13:17,666 --> 00:13:19,166
THAT WE HAVE NOW, THE FACT

395
00:13:18,500 --> 00:13:22,933
THAT OUR HIGH SCHOOLS NOW

396
00:13:19,166 --> 00:13:24,866
OFFER COLLEGE CREDIT, I HAD

397
00:13:22,933 --> 00:13:25,833
6,000 SENIORS LAST YEAR THAT

398
00:13:24,866 --> 00:13:26,600
CUT IN COLLEGE CLASSES WHERE

399
00:13:25,833 --> 00:13:27,933
THEY WERE IN HIGH SCHOOL. HE

400
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,066
SAID THE SMALL HIGH SCHOOLS

401
00:13:27,933 --> 00:13:30,833
AND IT SAID NOT WITH THE YOUNG

402
00:13:29,066 --> 00:13:31,566
BY THE WEEKEND DOESN'T NEED TO

403
00:13:30,833 --> 00:13:32,300
BECAUSE I HAVE AN AMAZING SET

404
00:13:31,566 --> 00:13:35,433
UP ALREADY. THESE ARE SMALLER

405
00:13:32,300 --> 00:13:36,100
HIGH SCHOOLS. SO OF COURSE,

406
00:13:35,433 --> 00:13:36,866
THE CEO THERE IS POINTING

407
00:13:36,100 --> 00:13:37,633
TOWARD SOME OF THE SUCCESSES,

408
00:13:36,866 --> 00:13:40,700
RIGHT? WHAT WHAT STUDENTS ARE

409
00:13:37,633 --> 00:13:42,166
GETTING WITHIN CPS, SCHOOLS

410
00:13:40,700 --> 00:13:44,400
SAID ENOUGH. NO, IT'S THE

411
00:13:42,166 --> 00:13:47,500
VARIABILITY THAT'S KILLING OUR

412
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:48,166
SCHOOL DISTRICT. IT'S THAT WE

413
00:13:47,500 --> 00:13:51,333
CAN CELEBRATE A SUSTAINABLE

414
00:13:48,166 --> 00:13:54,466
COMMUNITY DIE. WE CAN

415
00:13:51,333 --> 00:13:56,300
CELEBRATE A NEIGHBORHOOD

416
00:13:54,466 --> 00:13:57,000
SCHOOL BY IMUS. WHAT IS THE

417
00:13:56,300 --> 00:13:58,800
BASELINE IS THE PORT THAT

418
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,566
EVERY SCHOOL IN DISTRICT, WHAT

419
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:02,400
CAN FAMILIES EXPECT WHEN THEY

420
00:13:59,566 --> 00:14:04,566
WALK AND CAN THEY EXPECT PE

421
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:06,666
TEACHER? CAN THEY EXPECT A

422
00:14:04,566 --> 00:14:08,966
FINE ARTS PROGRAM? CAN THEY

423
00:14:06,666 --> 00:14:09,666
EXPECT SPORTS FOR EVERY

424
00:14:08,966 --> 00:14:11,200
SEASON? THE ANSWER TO THAT

425
00:14:09,666 --> 00:14:13,033
QUESTION IS IT'S THE FLIP OF

426
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:16,100
THE COIN. IT'S THE LEADERSHIP

427
00:14:13,033 --> 00:14:16,733
OF THE PRINCIPAL. IT'S THE

428
00:14:16,100 --> 00:14:17,433
WILL OF THE ELYSEE, ITS

429
00:14:16,733 --> 00:14:19,500
EVERYTHING. BUT THE STANDARD

430
00:14:17,433 --> 00:14:20,266
THAT WE HAVE TO START PUTTING

431
00:14:19,500 --> 00:14:22,400
IN, THAT'S WHAT OUR COLLECTIVE

432
00:14:20,266 --> 00:14:24,300
BARGAINING PROPOSALS

433
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:25,566
REPRESENT. SO WHEN PEOPLE LAMP

434
00:14:24,300 --> 00:14:28,366
HOME, THE QUOTE, COST OF THEM,

435
00:14:25,566 --> 00:14:31,533
IT IS THE COST OF DOING SCHOOL

436
00:14:28,366 --> 00:14:34,500
IN CHICAGO. RIGHT NOW. WE'RE

437
00:14:31,533 --> 00:14:35,266

WORKERS, WHATEVER THE CASE MAY

562
00:19:04,433 --> 00:19:09,833
BE, THIS IS PERSONAL FOR ME.

563
00:19:09,100 --> 00:19:10,466
HEATHER ALDERMAN BURNETT SAID

564
00:19:09,833 --> 00:19:12,733
THAT HE STILL HAS SOME

565
00:19:10,466 --> 00:19:13,966
CONCERNS ABOUT THE CASINO WHAT

566
00:19:12,733 --> 00:19:15,833
ARE THEY? WELL, NOW HE'S MADE

567
00:19:13,966 --> 00:19:16,966
A LOT OF PROMISES TO CITY

568
00:19:15,833 --> 00:19:20,900
OFFICIALS THAT THEY WOULD HIRE

569
00:19:16,966 --> 00:19:21,633
CHICAGOANS TO DO THIS WORK.

570
00:19:20,900 --> 00:19:24,100
AND WALTER BURNETT IS NOT THE

571
00:19:21,633 --> 00:19:26,933
KIND OF ALL PERSON WHO WILL

572
00:19:24,100 --> 00:19:28,433
LET COMPANIES SORT GONE. THAT

573
00:19:26,933 --> 00:19:29,966
SORT OF PROMISE. AND THIS IS

574
00:19:28,433 --> 00:19:31,900
NOT ONLY SUPPOSED TO HELP THE

575
00:19:29,966 --> 00:19:33,033
CITY'S BUDGET IS SUPPOSED TO

576
00:19:31,900 --> 00:19:35,066
HELP THE CITY'S ECONOMY,

577
00:19:33,033 --> 00:19:36,333
RIGHT, LIKE MAYBE A MINI

578
00:19:35,066 --> 00:19:37,200
DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION EVERY

579
00:19:36,333 --> 00:19:40,100
LONG WEEKEND. THE CITY WOULD

580
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:41,866
NOT OBJECT TO THAT. I'M BUT

581
00:19:40,100 --> 00:19:43,100
IT'S IMPORTANT FOR THE CITY

582
00:19:41,866 --> 00:19:43,966
THAT CHICAGOANS WORK. THESE

583
00:19:43,100 --> 00:19:46,433
CONSTRUCTION JOBS AND WORK

584
00:19:43,966 --> 00:19:47,433
THESE CASINO AND HOTEL JOBS,

585
00:19:46,433 --> 00:19:50,033
WHETHER THAT WILL HAPPEN IS

586
00:19:47,433 --> 00:19:51,633
VERY MUCH UP IN THE AIR. AND

587
00:19:50,033 --> 00:19:53,766
TODAY WE HEARD A WARNING FROM

588
00:19:51,633 --> 00:19:55,733
ALDERMAN BURNETT WHO SAID IT

589
00:19:53,766 --> 00:19:58,833
BETTER HAPPEN UNLESS YOU WANT

590
00:19:55,733 --> 00:19:59,533
TO RUN INTO SOME MORE BECAUSE

591
00:19:58,833 --> 00:20:00,666
YOU'RE GONNA HAVE A PROBLEM

592
00:19:59,533 --> 00:20:02,766
WITH ME IS WHAT WE WERE JUST

593
00:20:00,666 --> 00:20:05,066
THINKING. AMANDA NICK IN 2023,

594
00:20:02,766 --> 00:20:05,800
THE TEMPORARY CASINO IN THE

595
00:20:05,066 --> 00:20:06,466
MEDINA TEMPLE NEAR MICHIGAN

596
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:08,166
AVENUE BROUGHT IN ONLY A

597
00:20:06,466 --> 00:20:10,200
QUARTER OF WHAT WAS PROJECTED

598
00:20:08,166 --> 00:20:11,200
THOSE REVENUE SHORTFALLS HAD

599
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:12,500
SOME SPECULATING ARE SOME

600
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:13,200
FOLKS WERE SPECULATING THAT

601
00:20:12,500 --> 00:20:13,866
BALLY'S MIGHT NOT ACTUALLY

602
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:15,000
MAKE IT TO THE PERMANENT

603
00:20:13,866 --> 00:20:17,133
CASINO. BUT WE'RE GETTING

604
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:18,066
THERE TODAY. DO YOU FEEL LIKE

605
00:20:17,133 --> 00:20:20,000
THIS DEMOLITION SIGNALS THAT

606
00:20:18,066 --> 00:20:20,633
THE RIVERFRONT CASINO IS

607
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:21,266
DEFINITELY AGO? I MEAN,

608
00:20:20,633 --> 00:20:22,300
CERTAINLY BALLY'S IS

609
00:20:21,266 --> 00:20:23,066
PROJECTING A LOT OF

610
00:20:22,300 --> 00:20:26,300
CONFIDENCE, BUT NONE OF US HAS

611
00:20:23,066 --> 00:20:27,333
A CRYSTAL BALL HERE. IT IS

612
00:20:26,300 --> 00:20:28,466
OBVIOUSLY CHEAPER TO KNOCK

613
00:20:27,333 --> 00:20:30,633
DOWN A BUILDING, THEN TO BUILD

614
00:20:28,466 --> 00:20:32,233
ONE. AND I THINK ANYBODY WHO

615
00:20:30,633 --> 00:20:33,633
SAW THE GIANT HOLE IN THE

616
00:20:32,233 --> 00:20:34,533
GROUND FROM WHAT WAS SUPPOSED

617
00:20:33,633 --> 00:20:35,266
TO BE THE CHICAGO SPIRE THAT

618
00:20:34,533 --> 00:20:37,833
SAT EMPTY FOR YEARS AND YEARS

619
00:20:35,266 --> 00:20:38,566
AND YEARS KNOWS THESE PLANS

620
00:20:37,833 --> 00:20:40,200
AND ALWAYS COME TO FRUITION.

621
00:20:38,566 --> 00:20:42,233
BUT AS FOR WHAT WE HEARD

622
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:43,433
TODAY, A LOT OF CONFIDENCE

623
00:20:42,233 --> 00:20:45,300
FROM COMPANY OFFICIALS WILL

624
00:20:43,433 --> 00:20:53,966
SEE WHAT HAPPENS. MAYBE

625
00:20:45,300 --> 00:20:54,733
THERE'S SOMEBODY THAT'S LIKE

626
00:20:53,966 --> 00:20:57,233
GOTTA ONLINE BETTING. WHAT ARE

627
00:20:54,733 --> 00:20:58,233
TOP PEOPLE ON OK? SO DESPITE

628
00:20:57,233 --> 00:20:59,600
THE RECORD BREAKING HEAT

629
00:20:58,233 --> 00:21:00,266
SCHOOL WENT ON AS SCHEDULED

630
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:03,500
STARTING YESTERDAY WITH A

631
00:21:00,266 --> 00:21:05,533
CHICAGO PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND

632
00:21:03,500 --> 00:21:06,533
HEARS CPS CEO PEDRO MARTINEZ

633
00:21:05,533 --> 00:21:07,200
WAS ON CHICAGO TONIGHT WITH

634
00:21:06,533 --> 00:21:09,433
AND ASSURING US THAT ALL

635
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:10,700
STUDENTS WILL HAVE AIR

636
00:21:09,433 --> 00:21:11,366
CONDITIONING. SO LET'S WALK

637
00:21:10,700 --> 00:21:12,633
THROUGH SOME OF THE OTHER

638
00:21:11,366 --> 00:21:13,333
TAKEAWAYS FROM THAT INTERVIEW

639
00:21:12,633 --> 00:21:14,000
FIRST OFF, ALTHOUGH THEY

640
00:21:13,333 --> 00:21:16,733
WELCOME TO PUBLIC SCHOOL

641
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:17,800
STUDENTS TOGETHER YESTERDAY

642
00:21:16,733 --> 00:21:20,800
PEDRO MARTINEZ SAYS THAT HE

643
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:22,966
HAS NOT MET PRIVATELY WITH

644
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:23,566
MAYOR BRANDON JOHNSON IN THAT

645
00:21:22,966 --> 00:21:24,233
THERE'S NOT NECESSARILY

646
00:21:23,566 --> 00:21:25,000
SOMETHING THAT IS ON THE

647
00:21:24,233 --> 00:21:26,800
SCHEDULE, THOUGH. HE SAYS THEY

648
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:28,233
HAVE BEEN IN TOUCH. AMANDA,

649
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:30,866
WAS THAT SURPRISING GIVEN, YOU

650
00:21:28,233 --> 00:21:32,833
KNOW, THE HEADLINES THAT MIGHT

651
00:21:30,866 --> 00:21:34,766
BE REPLACED? IT IS CERTAINLY

652
00:21:32,833 --> 00:21:35,866
THINK FIRST OF ALL, HE SAID

653
00:21:34,766 --> 00:21:37,833
THE COMMUTE REGULARLY, BUT

654
00:21:35,866 --> 00:21:39,900
ONLY EVERY FEW COUPLE WEEKS

655
00:21:37,833 --> 00:21:41,800
WHICH CONSIDERING THE

656
00:21:39,900 --> 00:21:43,200
IMPORTANCE OF CPS AND THAT

657
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:47,066
MAYOR JOHNSON IS A FORMER

658
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:47,833
TEACHER IN CTU MEMBER. THAT'S

659
00:21:47,066 --> 00:21:49,766
NOT ALL THAT OFF. AND FRANKLY,

660
00:21:47,833 --> 00:21:50,466
I DON'T KNOW IF IT IS

661
00:21:49,766 --> 00:21:52,466
SURPRISING IT PER SE. AFTER

662
00:21:50,466 --> 00:21:56,166
STORIES CAME OUT THAT JOHNSON

663
00:21:52,466 --> 00:21:56,933
ONCE MARTINEZ OUT BECAUSE IF

664
00:21:56,166 --> 00:21:58,900
YOU'RE MARTINEZ, MAY BE A KIND

665
00:21:56,933 --> 00:21:59,666
OF JUST TRY AND STAY AWAY FROM

666
00:21:58,900 --> 00:22:02,066
HAVING THAT CONVERSATION. KEEP

667
00:21:59,666 --> 00:22:02,933
HER JOB AS LONG AS POSSIBLE.

668
00:22:02,066 --> 00:22:03,700
AND IN AND WORK IT GO ON

669
00:22:02,933 --> 00:22:05,700
PROGRAMS LIKE OURS AND TRY AND

670
00:22:03,700 --> 00:22:06,433
MAKE THE CASE PUBLICLY TO THE

671
00:22:05,700 --> 00:22:10,200
MAYOR ABOUT WHY YOU SHOULD

672
00:22:06,433 --> 00:22:11,133
MAINTAIN YOUR POSITION.

673
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:11,900
LIKEWISE, IF JOHNSON DOESN'T

674
00:22:11,133 --> 00:22:12,600
HAVE THAT ABILITY BECAUSE YOU

675
00:22:11,900 --> 00:22:14,766
CAN'T JUST UNILATERALLY LET

676
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:16,766
MARTINEZ GO AT THIS POINT, IT

677
00:22:14,766 --> 00:22:18,833
HAS TO BE WITH THE SCHOOL

678
00:22:16,766 --> 00:22:19,566
BOARD WHO VOTED WITH MARTINEZ

679
00:22:18,833 --> 00:22:20,333
REALLY WHEN IT COMES TO THE

680
00:22:19,566 --> 00:22:22,866
BUDGET OVER THE PREFERRED PATH

681
00:22:20,333 --> 00:22:23,866
THAT JOHNSON HAD ONE TO TAKE.

682
00:22:22,866 --> 00:22:24,600
YOU DON'T MAYBE WANT TO HAVE

683
00:22:23,866 --> 00:22:27,566
THAT CONVERSATION WHEN YOUR

684
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:28,600
DUCKS AREN'T IN A SO WE DON'T

685
00:22:27,566 --> 00:22:30,766
KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON THERE.

686
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:31,566
BUT MARTINEZ WAS NOT ABLE TO

687
00:22:30,766 --> 00:22:33,466
GIVE US A DATE FOR WHEN

688
00:22:31,566 --> 00:22:35,333
THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE A FORMAL

689
00:22:33,466 --> 00:22:36,333
DISCUSSION. IT I WILL SAY IT

690
00:22:35,333 --> 00:22:37,600
DIDN'T LOOK AWKWARD ON THE

691
00:22:36,333 --> 00:22:38,366
VIDEO YESTERDAY. THEIR KIDS

692
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:41,433
ARE PARENTS FROM THIS IS NOT A

693
00:22:38,366 --> 00:22:42,633
TIME FOR ANY SORT OF DEEP

694
00:22:41,433 --> 00:22:44,533
TALK, THEY REALLY TALK TOO

695
00:22:42,633 --> 00:22:47,266
CLOSE TOGETHER. THEY JUST SORT

696
00:22:44,533 --> 00:22:48,666
MOVED IN THE SAME CIRCLES WITH

697
00:22:47,266 --> 00:22:49,966
MARTINEZ FOLLOWING AND TO BE

698
00:22:48,666 --> 00:22:50,666
CLEAR, THAT PREFERRED PATHWAY

699
00:22:49,966 --> 00:22:51,333
THAT JOHNSON WANTED WAS TO

700
00:22:50,666 --> 00:22:54,900
BORROW ANOTHER SUBSTANTIAL

701
00:22:51,333 --> 00:22:57,200
AMOUNT OF MONEY. AND PEDRO

702
00:22:54,900 --> 00:22:57,933
MARTINEZ SAYING I DON'T THINK

703
00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:01,066
THAT THAT'S ACTUALLY THE WAY

704
00:22:57,933 --> 00:23:01,800
TO GO CONCERN ALREADY ALREADY

705
00:23:01,066 --> 00:23:02,766
FACING 500 AND SOMETHING

706
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:04,033
MILLION DOLLARS IN DEBT

707
00:23:02,766 --> 00:23:04,733
FUNDING CLIFF THAT WE'RE

708
00:23:04,033 --> 00:23:05,500
ALWAYS TALKING ABOUT, NICK,

709
00:23:04,733 --> 00:23:06,200
ONE OF THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE

710
00:23:05,500 --> 00:23:08,033
IS THE DISTRICT IS FACING,

711
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:09,300
THOUGH, FINDING ENOUGH BUS

712
00:23:08,033 --> 00:23:10,166
DRIVERS, HOW CBS DO WITH PEDRO

713
00:23:09,300 --> 00:23:11,200
MARTINEZ SAYS THAT'S BEEN THE

714
00:23:10,166 --> 00:23:15,066
BIGGEST CHALLENGE OF HIS

715
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:15,933
NEARLY THREE-YEAR TENURE, BUT

716
00:23:15,066 --> 00:23:17,500
HE SAID THEY'RE UP ABOUT 200

717
00:23:15,933 --> 00:23:18,233
DRIVERS FROM WHAT THEY HAD

718
00:23:17,500 --> 00:23:18,866
LAST YEAR. SO CERTAINLY MORE

719
00:23:18,233 --> 00:23:21,533
OPTIONS FOR STUDENTS AND

720
00:23:18,866 --> 00:23:22,633
FAMILIES IN NEED. BUT THERE IS

721
00:23:21,533 --> 00:23:23,900
A LOT OF NEED OUT THERE LAST

722
00:23:22,633 --> 00:23:26,700
WEEK. THE NUMBERS WE GOT WERE

723
00:23:23,900 --> 00:23:28,833
ABOUT 15,000 STUDENTS, ABOUT

724
00:23:26,700 --> 00:23:29,966
10,000 OF WHOM ARE STUDENTS

725
00:23:28,833 --> 00:23:32,066
WITH DISABILITIES. AND YOU

726
00:23:29,966 --> 00:23:34,033
KNOW THAT NEARLY 2000 OF THEM

727
00:23:32,066 --> 00:23:34,800
WERE LEFT WITHOUT AN OPTION.

728
00:23:34,033 --> 00:23:35,566
ALTHOUGH CEO MARTINEZ SAID HE

729
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:37,233
THOUGHT THEY WERE GETTING THAT

730
00:23:35,566 --> 00:23:39,066
NUMBER DOWN CLOSER TO ABOUT

731
00:23:37,233 --> 00:23:39,866
1100 AND THAT THEY WANTED TO

732
00:23:39,066 --> 00:23:42,433
HAVE THIS TAKEN CARE OF WITHIN

733
00:23:39,866 --> 00:23:43,600
THE FIRST 2 WEEKS. THEY'RE

734
00:23:42,433 --> 00:23:45,066
ALSO LOOKING AT SOME POINT

735
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:46,900
DURING THIS FIRST SEMESTER TO

736
00:23:45,066 --> 00:23:49,866
CREATE A HUB MODEL. THESE ARE

737
00:23:46,900 --> 00:23:50,933
FOR, YOU KNOW, JANET STUDENTS

738
00:23:49,866 --> 00:23:51,633
WHO ARE GOING TO A SELECTIVE

739
00:23:50,933 --> 00:23:53,833
ENROLLMENT SCHOOL FAR AWAY

740
00:23:51,633 --> 00:23:56,766
FROM WHERE THEY LIVE. THE IDEA

741
00:23:53,833 --> 00:23:57,900
BEING THAT THEY MIGHT GO TO A

742
00:23:56,766 --> 00:24:00,033
SCHOOL THAT'S CLOSER TO THEIR

743
00:23:57,900 --> 00:24:00,800
HOME AND BE ABLE TO GET PICKED

744
00:24:00,033 --> 00:24:01,433
UP THERE. THEY'RE LOOKING AT

745
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:02,133
ALL SORTS OF OPTIONS.

746
00:24:01,433 --> 00:24:04,933
SHOVELING AROUND START TIMES

747
00:24:02,133 --> 00:24:07,033
IN CLOSING TIMES FOR SCHOOLS

748
00:24:04,933 --> 00:24:09,000
TO TRY AND MAKE THIS WORK. BUT

749
00:24:07,033 --> 00:24:10,233
IT IS STILL A HUGE ISSUE FOR

750
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:11,866
THE DISTRICT. SO BEFORE RUN

751
00:24:10,233 --> 00:24:13,033
OUT OF TIME, ILLINOIS SUPREME

752
00:24:11,866 --> 00:24:14,166
COURT SIDING WITH REPUBLICANS

753
00:24:13,033 --> 00:24:15,966
OVER THIS CONTROVERSIAL LAW

754
00:24:14,166 --> 00:24:16,966
THAT DEMOCRATS PASSED THAT

755
00:24:15,966 --> 00:24:17,866
WOULD BAN THIS LEADING

756
00:24:16,966 --> 00:24:20,066
CANDIDATES. AMANDA, REMIND US

757
00:24:17,866 --> 00:24:21,366
WHAT THIS BILL WAS ABOUT. SO

758
00:24:20,066 --> 00:24:22,800
HES GOING NOVEMBER. YEAH. SO

759
00:24:21,366 --> 00:24:24,100
THIS IS PRACTICE THAT ISN'T

760
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:27,933
USED ALL THAT OFTEN BUT ALLOWS

761
00:24:24,100 --> 00:24:28,733
BASICALLY PARTY INSIDERS TO

762
00:24:27,933 --> 00:24:29,500
HAVE SOMEBODY RUN IN A GENERAL

763
00:24:28,733 --> 00:24:32,033
ELECTION, EVEN IF NOBODY FROM

764
00:24:29,500 --> 00:24:33,866
THE PARTY RAN IN THE PRIMARY

765
00:24:32,033 --> 00:24:37,033
AND DEMOCRATS PASSED THIS TO

766
00:24:33,866 --> 00:24:39,100
TAKE PLACE DURING THE 2024

767
00:24:37,033 --> 00:24:39,800
ELECTION CYCLE FOR THE 2024

768
00:24:39,100 --> 00:24:41,033
ELECTION CYCLE. SO THAT'S

769
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:42,100
WHERE THE PUSHBACK CAME FROM.

770
00:24:41,033 --> 00:24:43,166
REPUBLICANS WHO YOU CAN'T

771
00:24:42,100 --> 00:24:44,900
CHANGE THE RULES OF THE GAME

772
00:24:43,166 --> 00:24:45,966
MIDWAY THROUGH. WE HAD

773
00:24:44,900 --> 00:24:46,966
AGREEMENT FROM A LOWER COURT

774
00:24:45,966 --> 00:24:48,266
PREVIOUSLY. NOW THE ILLINOIS

775
00:24:46,966 --> 00:24:50,066
SUPREME COURT ALLOWING THAT TO

776
00:24:48,266 --> 00:24:50,833
SLIDE. ALSO THE STATE BOARD OF

777
00:24:50,066 --> 00:24:51,600
ELECTIONS. SO WHAT IT REALLY

778
00:24:50,833 --> 00:24:52,466
MEANS IS THAT YOU'RE GOING TO

779
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:54,300
HAVE A HANDFUL OF REPUBLICANS

780
00:24:52,466 --> 00:24:56,400
AND REALLY ONE PARTICULAR

781
00:24:54,300 --> 00:24:57,266
RACE, IT PEOPLE SORT OF CALL

782
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:57,966
THIS LAW BY THE NAME OF THE

783
00:24:57,266 --> 00:24:58,600
DEMOCRATIC LAWMAKER BECAUSE

784
00:24:57,966 --> 00:24:59,300
THEY BELIEVE THAT THE

785
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:03,400
INCUMBENT IS GOING TO HAVE

786
00:24:59,300 --> 00:25:04,100
PERHAPS A HARD TIME WITH

787
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:05,166
REPUBLICAN COMPETITOR THAT

788
00:25:04,100 --> 00:25:07,066
THEY'RE ALL GOING TO BE ON THE

789
00:25:05,166 --> 00:25:07,833
BALLOT, NOT LESS. WE'VE SEEN

THIS ELECTION. BUT THE LAWS ON

792
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:12,633

793
00:25:11,466 --> 00:25:15,133
