159
00:04:22,133 --> 00:04:25,266

00:04:33,933 --> 00:04:38,700
WHAT WILL COMPLY OR NOT COMPLY

167
00:04:36,700 --> 00:04:43,700
WOULD STATE. YOU KNOW, IT'S

168
00:04:38,700 --> 00:04:44,366
VERY HARD TO A PROPOSAL. LIKE

169
00:04:43,700 --> 00:04:48,400
THIS. ALTHOUGH AGAIN, IT'S

170
00:04:44,366 --> 00:04:53,900
VERY, YOU KNOW. BIG SO FAR.

171
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:54,900
BEING CONSISTENT. HOW OUR

173
00:04:54,900 --> 00:04:59,100
OUR LAKEFRONT A CROWN JEWEL.

174
00:04:55,600 --> 00:05:00,833
CHICAGO. PEOPLE HAD NOT TAKEN

175
00:04:59,100 --> 00:05:02,500
VERY UNPOPULAR OPINIONS FOR

176
00:05:00,833 --> 00:05:03,566
ART AND HUNDREDS OF YEARS AT

177
00:05:02,500 --> 00:05:05,633
THIS POINT, WE WOULD NOT BE

178
00:05:03,566 --> 00:05:06,300
HAVING THIS CONVERSATION

179
00:05:05,633 --> 00:05:10,566
BECAUSE THE LAKEFRONT WITH

180
00:05:06,300 --> 00:05:11,833
PARTY DEVELOPED. WHAT IS

181
00:05:10,566 --> 00:05:12,533
TROUBLING IS THAT SOMETHING

182
00:05:11,833 --> 00:05:13,233
THAT FEELS THAT PEOPLE COME

183
00:05:12,533 --> 00:05:16,933
IN, YOU KNOW, POWER BROKERS,

184
00:05:13,233 --> 00:05:20,900
BILLION ARE SPENT? WELL, MAYBE

185
00:05:16,933 --> 00:05:21,700
RULES DON'T APPLY TO US. AND

186
00:05:20,900 --> 00:05:22,466
SO WE'RE REALLY INTERESTED

187
00:05:21,700 --> 00:05:23,300

189
00:05:23,300 --> 00:05:29,766
INDEED I LOVE THE SCRUTINIZE.

190
00:05:28,766 --> 00:05:30,833
YOU KNOW, WE'RE SAYING SLOW

191
00:05:29,766 --> 00:05:31,933
DOWN A LOT OF STAKEHOLDERS AND

192
00:05:30,833 --> 00:05:32,566
WE JUST NEED TO SCRUTINIZE

193
00:05:31,933 --> 00:05:37,866
INSTEAD OF JUST BEING SO

194
00:05:32,566 --> 00:05:39,066
FOCUSED ON THIS ONE. SPOT.

195
00:05:37,866 --> 00:05:39,866
LET'S USE OUR CREATIVITY TO

196
00:05:39,066 --> 00:05:40,600
WHERE ARE SOME OF THE OTHER

197
00:05:39,866 --> 00:05:43,100
LOCATIONS? WHAT OTHER WAYS CAN

198
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:44,333
WE ACHIEVE THIS GOAL? THIS IS

199
00:05:43,100 --> 00:05:45,466
AN EXCITING OPPORTUNITY TO

200
00:05:44,333 --> 00:05:46,233
TALK ABOUT. WHAT DOES IT MEAN

201
00:05:45,466 --> 00:05:50,166
TO HAVE OUR LAKEFRONT? HOW DO

202
00:05:46,233 --> 00:05:50,833
WE PROTECT IT? WHERE ELSE IS

203
00:05:50,166 --> 00:05:53,066
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT? YOU

204
00:05:50,833 --> 00:05:53,666
KNOW THAT. I THINK YOU BROUGHT

205
00:05:53,066 --> 00:05:55,966
UP THE POSSIBILITY THAT

206
00:05:53,666 --> 00:05:56,666
MICHAEL RECITES. SO WHAT ABOUT

207
00:05:55,966 --> 00:05:58,233
THE FORMER MICHAEL REESE HAVE

208
00:05:56,666 --> 00:05:59,533
WITH WHAT ABOUT THAT REPRESENT

209
00:05:58,233 --> 00:06:00,166
BUCKNER? IS THAT A PLAN THAT

210
00:05:59,533 --> 00:06:00,800
YOU MIGHT THE ENTERTAINER

211
00:06:00,166 --> 00:06:01,466
LAWMAKERS MIGHT ENTERTAIN

212
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:04,633
THAT? THE OLD MICHAEL REESE

213
00:06:01,466 --> 00:06:05,300
HOSPITAL SITE?

214
00:06:04,633 --> 00:06:06,033
>> AS BEEN VERY CLEAR ABOUT

215
00:06:05,300 --> 00:06:09,733
THE FACT THAT I WANT THE BEARS

216
00:06:06,033 --> 00:06:10,400
TO STAY IN CHICAGO AND THERE'S

217
00:06:09,733 --> 00:06:13,566
A THERE. THINK THAT'S WHERE

218
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:14,266
THEY CURRENTLY ARE THAT COULD

219
00:06:13,566 --> 00:06:14,966
MAKE SENSE OF THAT AND

220
00:06:14,266 --> 00:06:16,400
RECONCILE OR AS WE CALL THE

221
00:06:14,966 --> 00:06:17,100
MOTHER OF THE BRIDE TO

222
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:21,300
LAKEFRONT, WHICH ARE MISSION

223
00:06:17,100 --> 00:06:24,266
EARLY, I THINK LOOKING AT THAT

224
00:06:21,300 --> 00:06:26,233
AS A AS NEAR SOUTH SIDE AND

225
00:06:24,266 --> 00:06:26,966
ALSO AS A GATEWAY TO THE

226
00:06:26,233 --> 00:06:27,666
DOWNTOWN CENTRAL BUSINESS

227
00:06:26,966 --> 00:06:29,733
DISTRICT IS VERY INTERESTING

228
00:06:27,666 --> 00:06:31,600
TO ME, WAS TO GET THE BRUNT OF

229
00:06:29,733 --> 00:06:32,300
RESIDENT. I I'M INTRIGUED BY

230
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:35,633
BUT LISTEN, THE GREAT THINGS

231
00:06:32,300 --> 00:06:37,666
THAT WE HAVE SOME OPTIONS HERE

232
00:06:35,633 --> 00:06:38,866
AND WHAT IS VERY CLEAR IS THAT

233
00:06:37,666 --> 00:06:41,666
AS AS JANE SAID, THIS CANNOT

234
00:06:38,866 --> 00:06:42,400
JUST BE THE NEXT FOOTBALL

235
00:06:41,666 --> 00:06:43,133
SEASON OVER THE NEXT SUPER

236
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,533
BOWL. THIS HAS TO BE ABOUT THE

237
00:06:43,133 --> 00:06:46,800
NEXT GENERATION TO MAKE SURE
