THE PIER BEGINS THE PARTIAL
REOPENING ALONG WITH MAYOR LORI
LIGHTFOOT'S ANNOUNCEMENTS,
RETURN OF FESTIVALS AND GAMES
AND SO MUCH MORE.
FOR NOW BACK TO YOU.
>> THANK YOU.
AND NOW TO SOME OF TODAY'S TOP
STORIES.
ANOTHER ALDERMAN IS INDICTED BY
THE FEDS WITH A HIGH PROFILE
CHICAGO NAME.
11TH WARDAL MAN PATRICK DALEY
THOMPSON GRANDSON OF RICHARD D.
DALEY IS CHARGED WITH SEVEN
COUNTS OF MAKING FALSE
STATEMENTS AND FILING A FALSE
TAX RETURN FROM A FRAUD SCHEME
INVOLVING THE FAILED WASHINGTON
FEDERAL BANK FOR SAVINGS AND
OPERATED OUT OF THOMPSON'S
HOMEWARD IN BRIDGEPORT.
10 DEFENDANTS HAVE BEEN CHARGED
IN WHAT THE U.S. ATTORNEY'S
OFFICE SAYS IS AN ONGOING
INVESTIGATION INTO THE FAILED
BANK.
IN A STATEMENT THOMPSON DENIED
THE CHARGES.
AND THE U.S. ATTORNEY'S OFFICE
ALSO IS ANNOUNCING 16 CHARGES
AGAINST FORMER 22nd WARD
ALDERMAN RICARDO MUNOZ CHARGED
WITH USING POLITICAL FUNDS TO
PAY PERSONAL EXPENSES.
>> A REVIEW FINDS DEFICIENCIES
IN THE CHICAGO POLICE
DEPARTMENT'S POLICY AND TRAINING
ON SEARCH WARRANTS THIS IN THE
WAKE OF BOTCHED 2019 RAID OF
RESIDENT ANJANETTE YOUNG.
THE REPORT COMES FROM THE
CIVILIAN OFFICE OF POLICE
ACCOUNTABILITY.
OR C.O.P.A.
THE AGENCY SAYS IT'S BEEN IN
CONTACT WITH C.P.D. ABOUT FOURTH
AMENDMENT AND SEARCH WARRANT
POLICIES BUT WOULD NOT GET INTO
SPECIFICS IN TODAY'S REPORT.
THE C.P.D. HAS 30 DAYS TO DECIDE
WHETHER TO TAKE ADMINISTRATIVE
ACTION AGAINST THE OFFICERS
INVOLVED IN THAT RAID.
>> FANS, FESTIVALS AND FARMERS
MARKETS ARE BACK IN CHICAGO AT
LEAST PARTIALLY.
IN A VIDEO ON SOCIAL MEDIA
FEATURING TEAM MASCOTS THE MAYOR
ANNOUNCED A LOOSENING OF
RESTRICTIONS ON BULLS AND
BLACKHAWKS GAMES ALLOWING FOR
25% CAPACITY FOR GAMES AT THE
UNITED CENTER.
OFFICIALS SAY THEY WILL CAP THE
CROWDS TO 20%.
THE MAYOR ANNOUNCED THE RETURN
OF OUTDOOR SUMMER FESTIVALS AND
FARMERS MARKETS.
AND WE'LL HAVE MUCH MORE IN A
BIT.
>> AND STATE PUBLIC HEALTH
OFFICIALS REPORT NEARLY 3400 NEW
COVID CASES IN THE LAST 24
HOURS.
AND 38 ADDITIONAL DEATHS.
THAT MAKES FOR A TOTAL OF 1.331
MILLION CASES AND 21,927 DEATHS
SINCE THE PANDEMIC BEGAN.
SO FAR MORE THAN 31% OF THE
STATE'S POPULATION HAS BEEN
FULLY VACCINATED.
>> THE FAMILIES OF A 22-YEAR-OLD
LATINO MAN AND LATINO BOY SHOT
AND KILLED BY CHICAGO POLICE
OFFICERS ARE DEMANDING JUSTICE
AND THEY WANT OTHERS TO JOIN
THEM.
THE LEADERS OF THE FRATERNAL
ORDER OF POLICE LOCAL LODGE
CLAIMS BOTH SHOOTINGS WERE
JUSTIFIED.
AMANDA VINICKY JOINS US NOW LIVE
IN LITTLE VILLAGE.
AMANDA?
>> YES, PARIS, I AM NEAR A MURAL
AND A MEMORIAL NEAR THE SITE
WHERE ON MARCH 29, 13-YEAR-OLD
ADAM TOLEDO TOOK HIS FINAL
BREATH.
VIDEO RELEASED BY THE CITY
CIVILIAN OFFICE OF POLICE
ACCOUNTABILITY SHOWED TOLEDO
RUNNING FROM A POLICE OFFICER
AND AT THE OFFICER'S ORDER
TOLEDO TOSSED THE GUN AND PUT
HIS HANDS UP AND SHOT WITHIN
SECONDS AFTER.
PRESIDENT JOHN CATANZARA STANDS
BY THE OFFICER WHO FIRED THE
SHOTS ERIC STILL MAN
>> HIS RESPONSE WAS SO
CALCULATED AND TEXTBOOK IT NEEDS
TO BE A TRAINING VIDEO THOUGH
PEOPLE WON'T LIKE ME SAYING THAT
I DON'T GIVE A DAMN.
BUT THE TOTAL CONTROL HE HAD OF
WHAT HE WAS DOING EVERY SPLIT
SECOND THAT HE WAS DOING IT,
SPEAKS VOLUMES FOR HOW
WELL-TRAINED HE WAS.
>> MEANWHILE, JUST TWO DAYS
AFTER THAT INCIDENT ON MARCH 31,
22-YEAR-OLD ANTHONY ALVAREZ WAS
KILLED IN PORTAGE PARK.
VIDEO RELEASED YESTERDAY SHOWING
HIM RUNNING FROM POLICE IT IS
UNCLEAR WHAT PROVOKED THAT
CHASE.
HE APPEARS TO HAVE A GUN IN ONE
HAND WHEN THE OFFICER SHOT
ALVAREZ SEVERAL TIMES.
JOHN CATANZARA DEFENDS THAT
OFFENSER'S ACTIONS AS WELL.
>> WHY HE WAS INITIATING THE
FOOT PURSUIT TO BEGIN WITH.
HE COULD CLEARLY SEE A WEAPON IN
THE SUBJECT'S HAND.
IT DOES NOT MATTER THAT THE
SUBJECT IS FACING AWAY FROM AN
OFFICER WHEN THEY HAVE A WEAPON.
THERE HAS BEEN INSTANCES WHERE
OFFICERS HAVE BEEN SHOT AND
KILLED WITH OFFENDERS WHO HAD
THEIR HAND UP IN THE AIR WITH A
WEAPON IN THEIR HAND.
IT IS ONE BULLET.
>> HE SAYS THE OFFICER WAS
CLEARLY FEARING FOR HIS LIFE.
>> HIS REACTION IS I'M GOING
HOME TONIGHT.
THIS SUBJECT HAD MULTIPLE
OPPORTUNITIES TO COMPLY AND DROP
THE WEAPON AND STOP THE RUN STOP
CHASING BEING CHASED I SHOULD
SAY.
BUT THEY CHOSE YET AGAIN TO NOT
COMPLY WITH LAWFUL ORDERS OF THE
POLICE.
IT IS THE RECURRING THEME IN ALL
THE INSTANCES.
A FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH LAW
ENFORCEMENT OFFICER'S LAWFUL,
DIRECT ORDERS.
>> BUT ALVAREZ'S COUSIN SAYS SHE
DOES NOT UNDERSTAND WHY A POLICE
OFFICER WHO WAS PRESUMABLY
WEARING A BULLET-PROOF VEST WAS
SO FEARFUL.
POLICE ARE COWARDS NOT TENGERS.
AND --
PROTECTORS.
AND SAYS THE CITY NEEDS TO
IMMEDIATELY CREATE AND FIX A
FOOT CHASE POLICY FOR THE POLICE
DEPARTMENT.
THAT IS SOMETHING THAT MAYOR
LORI LIGHTFOOT HAS PROMISED WILL
COME OUT BY SUMMER.
>> I KNOW LORI SAID THAT BY THE
SUMMER BUT IT DOESN'T TELL ME
ANYTHING.
ANOTHER YOUNG INNOCENT PEOPLE
COULD DIE TOMORROW.
BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE THOSE
PROTOCOLS.
AND I MEAN, IT'S TOO LATE FOR
US.
WE ALREADY LOST ANTHONY.
>> THE MAYOR TWO YEARS IN HER
TERM TODAY REITERATED THAT THESE
FOOT PURSUITS ARE DANGEROUS.
TEAR ALSO COMMENTS SHE SAYS
ABOUT 7-10 OCCURRING DAILY IN
THE CITY OF CHICAGO.
THE MAYOR DID TELL REPORTERS
THAT SHE HAD CONSIDERED
COMPLETELY SUSPENDING ORDERING
THE POLICE TO STOP ALL FOOT
CHASES PENDING A POLICY COMING
OUT.
BUT SHE DECIDED AGAINST IT.
>> IT'S ALWAYS EASY TO SAY WHAT
SHOULD STOP.
BUT I DON'T WANT TO SIGNAL TO
INDIVIDUALS PARTICULARLY IN
COMMUNITIES THAT ARE UNDER SIEGE
BY VIOLENCE THAT YOU CAN AVOID
ANY ACCOUNTABILITY BY RUNNING
FASTER THAN THE POLICE.
THAT WOULD SEND A TERRIBLE
MESSAGE.
>> A FOOT CHASE POLICY IS ONLY
ONE OF THE VARIOUS CHANGES THAT
ORGANIZERS, ACTIVISTS LIKE
MOTHER OF FIVE, CELIA GARCIA SAY
HAVE TO BE MADE.
SHE SAYS POLICE ACT WITH
IMMUNITY WITH CARRYING OUT
EXCESSIVE BRUTALITY AGAINST
BLACK AND BROWN PEOPLE BECAUSE
THERE IS A LACK OF
ACCOUNTABILITY.
>> HERE IN CHICAGO AND AROUND
THE COUNTRY, THE POLICE CONTINUE
TO GUN DOWN OUR YOUNG PEOPLE
WITHOUT REPERCUSSIONS EVEN WHERE
THEY ARE ASKED TO LEAVE.
YOU ARE BEING GUNNED DOWN WHILE
WHITE CRIMINALS CAN COMMIT
CRIMES OF VIOLENCE ARE
HANDCUFFED AND TAKEN ALIVE.
WE WILL NOT STAND BY WHILE THIS
INJUSTICE CONTINUES.
>> WE'LL GET BACK TO WHAT
ACTIONS THEY ARE TAKING IN A
BIT.
WE HAVE UIC JOHN MARSHALL DEAN
SAM JONES SAYS COMMUNITIES OF
COLOR CLAIMED THEY ARE SUBJECT
TO POLICE BRUTALITY AND WHAT IS
CHANGING NOW IS AWARENESS.
>> WHAT IS DIFFERENT TODAY IS
THAT WE'RE ABLE TO SEE THE SLOW
KILLING OF SOMEONE LIKE A GEORGE
FLOYD.
WE'RE ABLE TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS
TO A CHILD LIKE ADAM TOLEDO.
SO BECAUSE OF THIS AWARENESS WE
ARE BECOMING COGNIZANT OF THE
FACT THAT WE HAVE TOO MANY
PROBLEMATIC POLICE OFFICERS
SERVING IN OUR POLICE
DEPARTMENTS AROUND THE COUNTRY.
>> JONES ALSO SAYS THAT
SITUATIONS LIKE TOLEDO'S WHICH A
SUSPECT APPEARS TO COMPLY WITH
AND OFFICER'S ORDERS BUT STILL
IS SHOT ARE PARTICULARLY
PROBLEMATIC.
>> THIS ENDANGERS OUR SOCIETY
BUT IT ENDANGERS POLICE
OFFICERS.
BECAUSE IF WE REACH A POINT IN
SOCIETY WHERE PEOPLE BELIEVE
THAT THEY CANNOT SURRENDER TO
POLICE OFFICERS SAFELY AND THAT
THEY CAN'T LISTEN TO THE POLICE
OFFICERS THEY ARE LESS LIKELY TO
SURRENDER THEIR HANDS AND MORE
LIKELY TO SHOOT AT THE POLICE
OFFICERS OR TAKE OTHER INNOCENT
PEOPLE HOSTAGES OR ENGAGE IN
VIOLENT ACTS BECAUSE THEY
BELIEVE THEY WILL BE KILLED
ANYWAY.
>> MEANWHILE, THE 30-DAY MINIMUM
TIME AFTER A SHOOTING HAS BEEN
COMPLETED, OFFICER STILLMAN IS
STILL ON LEAVE.
THE FOP PRESIDENT SAYING HE IS
TRAUMATIZED BY THE DECISION HE
HAD TO MAKE THAT DAY WHEN ADAM
TOLEDO DIED.
C.O.P.A. DOES RECOMMEND THAT
OFFICER EVAN SOLANO BE PUT ON
LEAVE THE ENTIRE TIME IT IS
INVESTIGATING THE ALVAREZ
SHOOTING.
>> AND IT JUST GOES TO SHOW YOU
THE BIAS THAT COMES OUT OF
C.O.P.A. IT IS NOT SURPRISING TO
US SADLY.
I SPOKE TO THAT OFFICER MYSELF
SEVERAL TIME AND I TOLD HIM BE
PREPARED THIS IS PROBABLY GOING
TO HAPPEN BECAUSE C.O.P.A. DOES
NOT DO ANYTHING FAIR.
IT'S ALREADY SAY TO GO MADE A
JUDGMENT THAT THE OFFICER WAS
WRONG ON SOME LEVEL.
>> NOW, SOLANO'S DECISION IN
TERMS OF POLICE POWERS IS UP TO
C.P.D. SUPERINTENDENT DAVID
BROWN AND AS OF THIS AFTERNOON
WHEN WE LAST HEARD FROM THE
C.P.D. BROWN HAD NOT YET MADE A
DECISION.
MEANWHILE, ANTHONY ALVAREZ'S
MOTHER WAS RIGHT HERE JUST HOURS
AGO.
SHE WAS WEARING A SHIRT WITH HER
SON'S NAME ON IT.
SHE AND OTHERS ARE CALLING FOR
CHICAGOANS TO COME OUT TO
PORTAGE PARK ON SATURDAY, THAT
IS MAY DAY, WHERE THEY ARE
SEEKING JUSTICE AND
ACCOUNTABILITY FOR POLICE.
ORGANIZERS HERE SAYING THAT THEY
BELIEVE THAT OFFICERS SOLANO AND
STILLMAN SHOULD BE CHARGED WITH
MURDER.
PARIS, BACK TO YOU.
>> AMANDA, THANK YOU.
CHICAGO'S LOOSENING THE PANDEMIC
RESTRICTIONS JUST A BIT MORE.
THE MAYOR MADE THE ANNOUNCEMENT
AT NAVY PIER.
THE CITY WILL ENTER PHASE 4
REGULATIONS THAT COULD HAVE AN
IMPACT ON RESTAURANTS AND BARS
AND THEATERS AND PLACES OF
WORSHIP.
BRANDIS FRIEDMAN AND QUINN MYERS
SPENT THE DAY REPORTING AROUND
NAVY PIER AS IT BEGINS A PHASED
REOPENING STARTING TOMORROW.
BRANDIS, SPELL IT OUT WHAT DOES
THIS ALL MEAN?
>> SO IMMEDIATELY IT MEANS
INCREASED CAPACITY ACROSS A
NUMBER OF INDUSTRIES IN CHICAGO
AND WE'LL BREAK THOSE DOWN IN A
BIT.
BUT THE COMMISSIONER OF PUBLIC
HEALTH Dr. ALLISON ARWADY SAYS
THE REASON WE ARE HERE IS
BECAUSE THE CASE NUMBERS AND
POSITIVITY RATES AND
HOSPITALIZATIONS AND ICU
ADMISSIONS HAVE FALLEN OR
STABILIZED.
>> SEEING THOSE NUMBERS GO DOWN
OR BE STABLE IS THE TICKET TO
REOPENING.
THIS IS HAPPENING, MAKE NO
MISTAKE, BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE
GETTING VACCINATED.
>> SO HERE IS WHAT THE LOOSENED
RESTRICTIONS MEAN.
RESTAURANTS AND BARS CAN
INCREASE INDOOR CAPACITY TO 50%
OR 100 PEOPLE.
WHICHEVER IS SMALLER.
LARGE INDOOR THEATERS AND VENUES
INCLUDING THE UNITED CENTER CAN
OPEN AT 25% CAPACITY.
FESTIVALS AND OUTDOOR EVENTS
LIKE NEIGHBORHOOD FOOD FESTIVALS
CAN OPERATE AT 15 PEOPLE PER
1,000 SCARE FEET.
AND --
SQUARE FEET.
AND GUESTS WHO ARE VACCINATED
WILL NOT BE COUNTED TOWARDS
CAPACITY LIMITS LIKE WEDDINGS.
Dr. ALLISON ARWADY EMPHASIZES
THE NEED TO GET VACCINATED AND
ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO DO THE SAME
FOR THE CITY TO KEEP TURNING
THAT DIAL REOPENING.
WHILE THE CITY'S POSITIVITY RATE
IS LOWER AT 4.7% SHE AND THE
MAYOR WARN WE ARE NOT OUT OF THE
WOODS.
>> WHAT WE'VE SEEN ACROSS THE
COUNTRY AND PLACES IS THIS
ENTHUSIASM TO REOPEN.
WE SAW THAT A LOT LAST SUMMER.
AND PEOPLE WENT TO VERY HIGH
CAPACITY LEVELS ONLY TO HAVE TO
SHUT EVERYTHING BACK DOWN VERY
QUICKLY.
WE ARE IN A DIFFERENT PLACE THAN
WE WERE LAST SUMMER BECAUSE WE
HAVE THE VACCINE.
>> NOW, THE MAYOR AND HEALTH
COMMISSIONER SAY IF THESE
FALLING CASES AND STABILIZING
RATES CAN HOLD STEADY FOR TWO
WEEKS THE CITY COULD JOIN THE
STATE OF ILLINOIS IN ENTERING
THAT BRIDGE PHASE WHERE
RESTRICTIONS ARE LOOSENED
FURTHER.
THAT WOULD BE A WELCOME CHANGE
FOR TOURISM BUSINESSES LIKE
STEVE'S SEGWAY NEAR THE
LAKEFRONT THE OWNER HAS BEEN IN
BUSINESS 14 YEARS AND HE AND HIS
TOUR GUIDES TAKE PRIDE IN BEING
THE BEST.
MANY ARE PART OF THE GIG ECONOMY
AND THEY WERE ABLE TO KEEP
WORKING DURING THE PANDEMIC BUT
HE FELT LIKE HE IS HEMORRHAGING
MONEY WITH RARE SEGWAY TOURS HE
LOST 90-95% OF HIS BUSINESS.
>> A GHOST TOWN.
PART OF A SCI-FI MOVIE IS HOW MY
TOUR GUIDES DESCRIBED BEING ON
CAMPUS AT TIMES TODAY.
>> SO, HE IS HOPEFUL TO SEE THAT
RETURN.
MEANWHILE, THE CITY ARCHITECTURE
CENTER IS REQUIRING MASKS ON
OUTDOOR WALKING AND BOAT TOURS
DESPITE THE CDC'S GUIDANCE FOLKS
OUTSIDE AND VACCINATED DON'T
NEED THEIR MASKS.
BUT THE CHICAGO ARCHITECTURE
CENTER SAYS THEY ARE OPERATING
AS A REDUCED CAPACITY AND
NOTICING A RETURN IN INTEREST.
THEY HAVE RECEIVED CALLS FROM
PEOPLE LOOKING TO MAKEUP
RESERVATIONS AND WALK-UP
BUSINESS IS STEADY.
LYNN OSMOND EXPLAINS THAT
ARCHITECTURE IS THE BACKBONE OF
CHICAGO'S TOURISM.
>> IT REALLY SIGNALS THE REBIRTH
OF WHAT IS GOING ON AFTER THE
GREAT FIRE AND NOW THE REBIRTH
AS WE LOOK POST PANDEMIC AND
IT'S FUN TO SEE BUILDINGS LIKE
THE ST. REGENT GIST OPENING UP.
ON THE RIVER CRUISE THERE ARE
LOTS OF BUILDINGS THAT CREPT UP
OVER THE PANDEMIC YEAR.
>> OSMOND IS THE VICE-CHAIR OF
CHOOSE CHICAGO THE CITY'S
TOURISM INFORMATION CENTER.
AND THE CAC AVERAGED MORE THAN
80% SOLD CAPACITY OF ITS TOURS
IN APRIL, HOTELS ARE AT 50%
CAPACITY ON WEEKENDS AND SURVEY
OF CONSUMERS SAYS 32% OF THOSE
SURVEYED ARE READY TO TRAVEL
AGAIN.
STILL A LITTLE BIT OF ROOM TO
GROW FOR A COUPLE INDUSTRIES.
PARIS, WHEN WE COME BACK, AS WE
MENTIONED WE WILL HEAR MORE
ABOUT NAVY PIER'S PLANS FOR
REOPENING THIS WEEKEND AND WHAT
IS IN STORE HERE.
FOR NOW, BACK TO YOU.
>> THANK YOU.
PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN MADE
SWEEPING PROPOSALS IN HIS
ADDRESS BEFORE A JOINT SESSION
OF CONGRESS LAST NIGHT.
AMONG THEM A PLEDGE TO TACKLE A
PROBLEM FELT ACUTELY HERE IN
CHICAGO AND ILLINOIS, ACCESS TO
CLEAN, LEAD FREE DRINKING WATER.
>> AND TODAY UP TO 10 MILLION
HOMES IN AMERICA AND MORE THAN
400,000 SCHOOLS AND CHILDCARE
CENTERS HAVE PIPES WITH LEAD
INCLUDING DRINKING WATER.
A CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER TO
OUR CHILDREN'S HEALTH.
AMERICAN JOBS PLAN CREATES JOBS
REPLACING 100% OF THE NATION'S
LEAD PIPES AND SERVICE LINES SO
EVERY AMERICAN CAN DRINK CLEAN
WATER.
>> ILLINOIS REPORTEDLY HAS MORE
LEAD SERVICE PIPES THAN ANY
OTHER STATE IN THE NATION.
CHICAGO MORE THAN ANY U.S. CITY.
TAMMY DUCKWORTH HAS PROPOSED 35
BILLION DOLLARS TO UPDATE WATER
INFRASTRUCTURE AND IMPROVE
DRINKING WATER ACROSS THE
COUNTRY.
AND JOINING US TO DISCUSS THIS
EFFORT AND MUCH MORE IS SENATOR
TAMMY DUCKWORTH.
SHE IS CHAIR OF THE SENATE
ENVIRONMENT AND PUBLIC WORKS
SUBCOMMITTEE ON FISHERIES, WATER
AND WILDLIFE.
WELCOME BACK TO "CHICAGO
TONIGHT."
AS WE UNDERSTAND YOUR BILL IS IS
PASSING OUT OF THE SENATE TODAY.
THAT $35 BILLION WATER
INFRASTRUCTURE BILL.
WHAT CHICAGOANS WANT TO KNOW
WILL THERE BE ENOUGH FEDERAL
FUNDS TO COVER 100% OF LEAD
SERVICE LINE REPLACEMENT HERE IN
THE CITY?
>> WELL, I DON'T KNOW THAT ALL
GOING TO BE FEDERAL BUT
COMBINATION BETWEEN FEDERAL,
STATE AND CITY, THERE SHOULD BE
ENOUGH TO REPLACE 100% OF THE
LEAD SERVICE LINE IN THE CITY
YES.
WE HAVE 23% TOTAL OF THE LINES
IN CHICAGO IN ILLINOIS AND MOST
IS IN CHICAGO.
AND THE GOAL IS TO PROVIDE AS
MUCH FEDERAL FUNDING AS
POSSIBLE.
THERE WILL BE SOME LOCAL MATCH
BUT THE GOAL IS TO REPLACE 100%
OF THE LEAD SERVICE PIPELINES.
>> WE'RE TALKING AS THIS BILL IS
BEING VOTED ON IN THE SENATE,
EXPECTED TO PASS WITH BIPARTISAN
SUPPORT AS I UNDERSTAND?
>> YES VERY MUCH SO.
IT CAME OUT OF COMMITTEE
UNANIMOUSLY.
WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU HEARD
OF THAT IN POLITICS?
IT GOT 100% OF THE REPUBLICANS
ON THE COMMITTEE TO VOTE FOR IT.
THEY SUPPORTED IT.
IT'S BEEN VERY BIPARTISAN.
WE WERE CAREFUL WHEN WE WERE
WRITING THE BILL TO INCLUDE A
LOT OF CONCERNS FROM RURAL
COMMUNITIES, AGRICULTURAL
CONCERNS.
WE INCLUDED VERBIAGE TO COVER
TRIBAL WATER TREATMENT
FACILITIES AND SO THIS IS GOING
TO HELP AMERICANS ALL ACROSS OUR
GREAT NATION.
>> RARE MOMENT OF BIPARTISAN
UNITY HERE.
THE PRESIDENT AS YOU KNOW LAST
NIGHT UNVEILED SWEEPING
PROPOSALS THE WATER PART OF IT
AND ALSO THE $1.8 TRILLION
AMERICAN FAMILIES PROPOSAL THAT
WOULD PROVIDE COMMUNITY COLLEGE,
UNIVERSE TALL PRESCHOOL,
CHILDCARE, PAID IN PART BY
HIGHER TAXES ON WEALTHY EARNERS
AND CORPORATIONS.
COULD THAT TAX PART TO HAVE
DERAIL BIPARTISAN HOPES ON THAT
PLAN?
>> WELL, YOU HAVE TO ASK THE
REPUBLICANS THAT ONE.
I HOPE THAT THEY WILL SEE A WAY
TO SUPPORT THE LEGISLATION.
I THINK THAT THE HUMAN
INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDS AS MUCH
INVESTMENT IN THIS COUNTRY AS
OUR REGULAR TRANSPORTATION
INFRASTRUCTURE AND WATER
INFRASTRUCTURE.
WE HAVE TO HAVE INFRASTRUCTURE
TO SUPPORT FAMILIES AND THE
HUMAN CAPITAL OF THIS COUNTRY.
THAT MEANS KIDS SHOULD BE ABLE
TO HAVE UNIVERSAL PRE-K AND WE
KNOW HOW WELL A CHILD DOES IN
THE FOURTH GRADE IN READING AND
MATH STARTS WITH WHETHER OR NOT
THEY WENT TO PRE-K AND WHETHER
OR NOT THEY GRADUATE HIGH SCHOOL
AND GO TO COLLEGE PREDICTS WHAT
THEY WERE DOING IN FOURTH GRADE.
IT'S ABOUT HELPING FAMILIES TO
BE PRODUCTIVE OUTSIDE OF THE
HOME AND TAKE CARE OF FAMILIES
AS WELL.
AND WE NEED TO MAKE THOSE VOF OF
INVESTMENTS AS WE DO TO FIX OUR
ROADS AND BRIDGES.
>> DO YOU BELIEVE THAT TAX HIKES
ON HIGHER EARNERS AND
CORPORATIONS SHOULD PAY FOR THIS
AS OPPOSED TO TAKING OUT MORE
DEBT?
>> I THINK CORPORATIONS AND
WEALTHY INDIVIDUALS HAVE GOTTEN
A GOOD RIDE THE LAST FOUR YEARS.
THE REPUBLICAN TAX CUTS GAVE
BACK TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO
LARGE CORPORATIONS WHO IN TURN
WENT ON A BUYING SPREE THEY BOTH
BACK STOCKS THEY TOOK THAT MONEY
AND BOUGHT BACK STOCK.
PEOPLE WHO MAKE MORE THAN
$400,000.
MANY OF THEM IN THE 40 MILLION A
YEAR BECAME WEALTHIER DURING THE
PANDEMIC.
THE WEALTHIEST AMERICANS THOSE
WHO HAVE THE NET WORTH MADE MORE
MONEY WHILE HARD-WORKING
FAMILIES WERE BEING LAID OFF
FROM WORK AND FALLING BEHIND ON
MORE TAJES AND --
MORTGAGES.
IT'S TIME THAT GENERAL ELECTRIC
HAS NOT PAID INCOME TAXES.
MAYBE THEY SHOULD PAY A LITTLE
BIT IN ORDER TO EDUCATE THE
WORKFORCE THAT WILL ONE DAY WORK
IN GE FACTORIES.
>> IT SEEMS THAT IS BECOMING A
BIPARTISAN NOTION AS WELL.
THERE ARE A LOT OF PRIORITIES
FOR DEMOCRATS, INFRASTRUCTURE
THAT 1.9 TRILLION PROPOSAL.
VOTING RIGHTS, IMMIGRATION,
CLIMATE LEGISLATION.
DO ANY OF THESE THINGS HAVE A
CHANCE OF GETTING DOWN WITHOUT
MODIFYING OR GETTING RID OF THE
FILIBUSTER.
YOU ARE PERHAPS FOR THE TALKING
FILIBUSTER?
>> LOOK, I WOULD RATHER NOT HAVE
TO MODIFY THE FILIBUSTER.
BUT IF YOU TOLD ME MY CHOICE WAS
TO PROTECT PEOPLE'S VOTING
RIGHTS OR PROTECTING THE
FILIBUSTER TO PROTECT THE RIGHTS
OF 100 SENATORS TO OBSTRUCT ONE
ANOTHER I WILL VOTE ON BEHALF OF
THE VOTERS.
I SPENT 23 YEARS IN UNIFORM
DEFENDING OUR CONSTITUTION AND
OUR DEMOCRACY.
NOWHERE IN OUR CONSTITUTION IS
THE RIGHT TO THE FILIBUSTER
ENSHRINED IN OUR CONSTITUTION
THE RIGHT TO VOTE IS EN SHINED
SO I WILL VOTE TO SUPPORT THE
RIGHTS OF PEOPLE'S ABILITY TO
VOTE.
I HOPE THERE CAN BE
BIPARTISANSHIP.
I WAS DISAPPOINTED WITH THE
AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN THAT NOT A
SINGLE REPUBLICAN VOTED FOR THAT
AND THAT BILL WAS NEEDED BY
WORKING FAMILIES.
WE PUT MONEY IN PEOPLE'S POCKETS
TO PAY THEIR ELECTRICITY BILL
AND GAS BILL AND BACK RENT AND
BACK MORTGAGE IT PAID FOR
VACCINATIONS AND CLEANING OF OUR
SCHOOLS THE KIDS GO BACK TO
SCHOOLS.
IT REALLY YOU KNOW, ASTONISHED
ME THAT NOT A SINGLE REPUBLICAN
SENATOR VOTED FOR THAT WHEN IT
WAS NEEDED BY THE COUNTRY.
>> AND IT SEEMS CLEAR TO MODIFY
THE FILIBUSTER IT HINGES ON
SENATOR JOE MANCHIN FROM WEST
VIRGINIA WHO SAID HE IS NOT IN
FAVOR OF GETTING RID OF THE
FILIBUSTER.
HAVE YOU HAD CONVERSATIONS WITH
HIM ON THIS SUBJECT?
DO YOU THINK HE WOULD MODIFY HIS
POSITION ON IT?
>> YOU READ THE OP-ED HE WROTE
HE LAID OUT HIS THINKING AND I
WILL LET PEOPLE READ THAT.
HE MADE IT CLEAR.
HE SAID LISTEN, IF YOU ARE GOING
TO OBSTRUCT, OBSTRUCT, OBSTRUCT,
DON'T'S BE SURPRISED THIS IDEA
OF FILIBUSTER REFORM IS COMING
UP.
HE DOES NOT SUPPORT IT RIGHT NOW
ENDING THE FULL BUSTER BUT THAT
IS --
FILIBUSTER BUT THAT IS DEPENDENT
ON REPUBLICANS NOT BEING THE
PARTY OF NO AND NOT GETTING
ANYTHING DONE.
HE SAID HE WILL CONSIDER TALKING
FILIBUSTER, YOU KNOW I THINK
THAT IS A GOOD STEP.
MOST PEOPLE WHEN THEY THINK OF A
FILIBUSTER THEY THINK OF Mr.
SMITH GOES TO WASHINGTON.
THE FILIBUSTER TODAY ANY SENATOR
CAN SAY I'M GOING TO FILIBUSTER
THIS AND THEY CAN GO TO CANCUN
IF THEY WANT TO AND THEY DON'T
HAVE TO BE ON THE FLOOR SPEAKING
UNTIL THEY RUN OUT OF ENERGY TO
DO SO.
A TALKING FILIBUSTER MIGHT BE A
STEP.
>> I WONDERING WHAT ARE YOU
REFERRING TO.
YOU CALLED OUT THE BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION FOR A LACK OF
ASIAN-AMERICAN PACIFIC ISLANDER
REPRESENTATION IN HIS CABINET TO
WHICH THE ADMINISTRATION
RESPONDED.
ARE YOU SATISFIED THAT THEY HAVE
SOLVED THAT PROBLEM?
WHY IS THAT SO IMPORTANT TO YOU?
>> WELL, THE PROBLEM IS NOT
COMPLETELY SOLVED.
BUT I AM PLEASED THAT THEY
WORKED WITH ME AND RESPONDED
LITERALLY WITHIN HOURS OF ME
INDICATING THAT I WOULD NOT VOTE
FOR ANYMORE NOMINEES AND I HAD
VOTED FOR EVERY NOMINEE UP UNTIL
THAT POINT.
EVEN BEFORE THEY WERE SWORN IN
TO OFFICE, AND SINCE BEING SWORN
IN I HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH
THEM.
MOVING FORWARD AND FORWARDING
NAMES OF PEOPLE WELL QUALIFIED
AND SOMETIMES MORE QUALIFIED
THAN THE PERSON WHO WAS
NOMINATED.
I VOTED FOR EVERY WHITE PERSON,
EVERY WOMAN, MAN, LGBTQ, EVERY
LATINO, BLACK AMERICAN THAT HAD
COME TO THE SENATE I VOTED YES
ON EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM.
AND AT THIS POINT IN TIME DO NOT
HAVE A SINGLE API PERSON
NOMINATED TO A CABINET POSITION
I FELT WAS A DISSERVICE TO THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE.
PRESIDENT BIDEN PROMISED A
CABINET THAT WOULD LOOK LIKE THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE AND THERE IS NOT
A SINGLE API IN A CABINET
SECRETARY POSITION.
>> YOU WANT MORE MOVEMENT ON
THAT IT DID LEAD TO THE
APPOINTMENT OF ERIKA AS A DEPUTY
ASSISTANT ON AAPI ISSUES.
I WANT TO GET TO THE ISSUE OF
GUN VIOLENCE IMPORTANT HERE IN
CHICAGO EXPERIENCING A TERRIBLE
YEAR FOR HOMICIDES.
THE PRESIDENT BROUGHT UP HIS
SUPPORT FOR BANNING ASSAULT
WEAPONS, AND CLOSING THE GUN
SHOW LOOPHOLE.
IS THERE LEGISLATION ON THAT
FRONT THAT HAS ANY CHANCE AT ALL
OF BIPARTISAN SUPPORT?
>> WELL, THAT DEPENDS WHERE THE
REPUBLICANS ARE.
SO MUCH OF THIS LEGISLATION IS
ACTUALLY SUPPORTED BY THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE.
UNIVERSAL BACKGROUND CHECKS ARE
SUPPORTED BY 95% OF AMERICANS
CLOSING THE GUN SHOW LOOPHOLE.
IF YOU ARE A GUN STORE OWNER
TODAY YOU CAN CHOOSE TO GO OUT
OF BUSINESS AND SAY YOU WANT TO
RETIRE AND TURN YOUR GUN STORE
TO PERSONAL USE WEAPON AND THEN
A YEAR LATER YOU COULD SAY I
DON'T WANT TO HANG ON TO THE
GUNS AND SELL THOSE THOUSANDS OF
WEAPONS AT GUN SHOWS WITHOUT
DOING ANY BACKGROUND CHECKS.
SELLING THEM PERSON TO PERSON.
WE NEED TO CLOSE THAT LOOPHOLE
AND THAT IS VERY MUCH SUPPORTED
BY THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
I HAVE A BILL THAT WOULD HAVE A
UNIVERSAL FOID CARD TO HAVE YOUR
ID CARD.
I HAVE ONE OF THOSE MYSELF.
I DON'T OWN A FIREARM BUT I HAVE
ONE OF THOSE BECAUSE I LIKE TO
TARGET PRACTICE.
BUT THERE ARE A LOT OF THIS
LEGISLATION IS VERY BIPARTISAN.
THE QUESTION IS WILL REPUBLICAN
SENATORS VOTE FOR IT?
OR WOULD THEY CONTINUE TO BE
BEHOLDEN TO THE NRA.
>> A FOID CARD APPLIED TO THE
NATION AT LARGE.
SENATOR DUCKWORTH THANK YOU FOR
JOINING US.
>> THANK YOU.
>> AND UP NEXT HARMONICA LESSONS
WITH A CHICAGO BLUES LEGEND SO
STAY WITH US.
THERE'S MUCH MORE AHEAD
INCLUDING WHAT TO DO WITH YOUR
VACCINATION CARD AND A PREVIEW
OF THE NFL DRAFT.
>> BUT FIRST, CHICAGO'S MUSIC
SCENE IS SLOWLY REOPENING AND
ONE LOCAL ARTIST IS WASTING NO
TIME GETTING BACK ON THE STAGE.
ANGEL IDOWU INTRODUCES US TO
CHICAGO BLUES LEGEND BILLY
BRANCH AND SHARES LIFE
HIGHLIGHTS AHEAD OF ONE OF
BRANCH'S FIRST LIVE PERFORMANCE
SINCE THE PANDEMIC.
[♪♪♪]
>> BLUES HARMONICA PLAY ERBIL
BILL HAS BEEN PLAYING THE MOUTH
HARP SINCE HE BOUGHT HIS FIRST
ONE AT 11 YEARS OLD.
>> AS SOON AS I PUT IT IN MY
MOUTH I COULD PLAY ANY FOLK
MELODY OR SMIS CAR ROLL.
WHEN THAT HARMONICA WORE OUT
BECAUSE I WOULD PLAY IT ALL THE
TIME I WOULD BUY ANOTHER ONE.
>> IT TURNED INTO A PASSION.
BRANCH WENT ON TO PLAY FOR BLUES
LEGEND WILLIE DIXON AND THE
ALL-STARS FOR SIX YEARS.
[♪♪♪]
>> IT WAS AFTER PLAYING AT THE
JAZZ FESTIVAL IN 1977 WITH
DICKSON AND OTHERS THAT BRANCH'S
OWN GROUP BILLY BRANCH AND THE
SONS OF BLUES WAS BORN.
[♪♪♪]
>> I CONSIDERED IT AMAZING TO
HAVE PLAYED WITH SUCH LEGENDARY
GREATS, WILLIE DIXON AND BO
DIDDILY AND OTIS RUSH AND JUNIOR
WELLS.
THESE ARE THE GUYS THAT LAID THE
GROUND WORK FOR THE BIG ROCK
SCENE AND ROCK 'N ROLL.
[♪♪♪]
>> BRANCH CONTINUED HIS
COMMITMENT TO THE MUSIC GENRE BY
STARTING HIS INTERNATIONAL BLUES
AND SCHOOLS INITIATIVE IN 1978
THAT IS STILL ACTIVE TODAY.
>> I'VE ALWAYS SEEN PART OF MY
ROLE AS A PROFESSIONAL MUSICIAN
TO AS KIND OF SOW THE SEEDS.
BECAUSE WHEN I DISCOVERED THE
BLUES THE BEAUTY OF IT AND THE
DEPTH OF IT I FELT LIKE EVERYONE
SHOULD KNOW ABOUT THIS.
>> DESPITE HIS NATIONAL
OUTREACH, BRANCH SAYS THERE'S
MORE WORK TO BE DONE.
>> IT NEEDS TO BE EMBRACED BY
ITS CREATORS, BY ITS
ORIGINATORS.
BECAUSE WE HAVE SITUATIONS NOW
WHERE THERE ARE FESTIVALS WITH
NO BLACK PERFORMERS, BLUES
FESTIVALS IS LIKE AN OXYMORON.
>> WHAT MORE DO YOU THINK THE
CITY COULD BE DOING TO
ACKNOWLEDGE AND HONOR THE IMPACT
THAT BLUES HAS HAD ON THE CITY?
>> THE CITY AS A WHOLE SHOULD
EVEN MORE FIERCELY EMBRACE THE
BLUES.
IN A PERFECT WORLD I WOULD LIKE
TO SEE COMMON AND CHANCE WHO ARE
RIGHT HERE IN CHICAGO, DIRECT
SOME OF THEIR ENERGIES AND
ATTENTION TO THE BLUES.
AND MAKE IT RELEVANT TO THE 21ST
CENTURY.
>> BRANCH RECEIVED A NUMBER OF
ACCOLADES ACKNOWLEDGING HIS WORK
AS ACTIVIST AND MUSICIAN.
LAST YEAR HE WAS INDUCTED INTO
THE 2020 BLUES HALL OF FAME AND
RECENTLY CREATED A SONG ENTITLED
THE BALLAD OF GEORGE FLOYD THAT
WILL BE AT THE GRAMMY MUSEUM.
>> CAN YOU MAKE IT TALK?
[♪♪♪]
>> AS BRANCH CONTINUES TO
EDUCATE AND ADVOCATE, HE SAYS
HIS MISSION REMAINS THE SAME...
TO GIVE BLUES THE RECOGNITION IT
DESERVES.
[♪♪♪]
>> EVERYONE CAN RELATE TO THIS
BECAUSE IT IS THE SOUNDTRACK FOR
THE HUMAN CONDITION.
EVERYBODY GOES THROUGH
STRUGGLES, EVERYBODY HAS
PROBLEMS.
AND THE BLUES IS A WAY OF
RELEASING AND EXPRESSING THIS
AND MAKING IT NOT FEEL SO BAD.
[♪♪♪]
>> FOR "CHICAGO TONIGHT" I'M
ANGEL IDOWU.
>> AND BILLY BRANCH AND SONS OF
BLUES WILL BE CELEBRATING THE
BIRTHDAY OF LITTLE WALTER FRIDAY
AND SATURDAY AT ROSA'S BLUES
LOUNGE.
AND STILL TO COME ON "CHICAGO
TONIGHT", SHOULD YOU CARRY YOUR
COVID VACCINATION CARD WITH YOU
OR WHAT IF YOU LOST IT?
WE HAVE A RUNDOWN OF THINGS TO
KNOW.
AND LIVE FROM NAVY PIER ON THE
REOPENING PLANS AND THE RETURN
OF LIVE THEATRE.
AND AFTER THE BEARS FAILED TO
IMPRESS WHAT REINFORCEMENTS CAN
HEAD COACH MATT NAGY EXPECT FROM
THE NFL DRAFT?
LAKE SHORE DRIVE IS ONE STEP
CLOSER TO GETTING A NEW NAME.
A CITY COUNCIL COMMITTEE PASSED
AN ORDINANCE TO RENAME THE DRIVE
IN HONOR OF JEN BAPTIST
DuSABLE.
THE CHANGE WOULD COVER 17 MILES
OF THE DRIVE FROM HOLLYWOOD
NORTH TO 67TH.
MAYOR LIGHTFOOT HAS BEEN CHILLY
TO THE NAME CHANGE INSTEAD
NAMING THE RIVERWALK AFTER
DuSABLE.
IT FACES A FULL CITY COUNCIL
VOTE.
>> HEALTH OFFICIAL REPORTS 3400
NEW COVID CASES AND 38
ADDITIONAL DEATHS.
THAT MAKES FOR A 1.331 MILLION
CASES AND 21,927 DEATHS SINCE
THE PANDEMIC BEGAN.
MORE THAN 31% OF THE STATE'S
POPULATION HAS BEEN FULLY
VACCINATED.
>> SHADES OF THE 1980s IN THE
LOOP.
CITY LEADERS SAY STATE STREET
WILL BE SHUTDOWN TO VEHICLE
TRAFFIC ON AS MANY AS 12 SUNDAYS
THROUGHOUT THE SUMMER STARTING
JULY 11.
DUBBED SUNDAYS ON STATE BY THE
CHICAGO LOOP ALLIANCE AND IT
WILL BRING OUTDOOR DINING,
RETAIL PERFORMANCES AND FAMILY
FRIENDLY ACTIVITIES TO THE
STREET.
THE SHUTDOWNS WILL TAKE PLACE
BETWEEN LAKE AND MADISON AND
SEEN AS A WAY TO GET PEOPLE
EXCITED ABOUT COMING BACK TO THE
LOOP.
>> IF YOU'VE RECEIVED THE
COVID-19 VACCINE YOU PROBABLY
GOT A VACCINATION CARD THAT
INCLUDES THE NAME DATES YOU
RECEIVED YOUR SHOTS.
WHAT DO YOU DO WITH IT?
KRISTEN THOMETZ JOINS US TO
ANSWER THAT QUESTION AND MORE.
KRISTEN, YOU ASKED OUR NEWSROOM
STAFF AND FOLKS WHAT QUESTIONS
THEY HAVE ABOUT THE COVID
VACCINATION CARD LET'S LOOK AT
SOME OF THOSE BEGINNING WITH
THAT FIRST QUESTION.
WHAT SHOULD I DO WITH MY VACCINE
CARD?
SHOULD I CARRY IT WITH ME?
>> HI, PARIS.
NO YOU SHOULD NOT CARRY YOUR
VACCINE CARD WITH YOU AFTER YOU
HAVE BEEN FULLY VACCINATED.
YOU WILL NEED TO BRING THAT CARD
TO YOUR SECOND APPOINTMENT IF
YOU ARE GETTING A TWO-DOSE SHOT.
BUT OTHER THAN THAT EVERYONE
SAID KEEP THAT CARD IN A SAFE
PLACE WITH IMPORTANT DOCUMENTS
LIKE YOUR PASSPORT.
>> EASY TO LOSE THAT.
ANOTHER QUESTION, I DID NOT GET
A VACCINATION CARD AT MY
APPOINTMENT?
>> CONTACT THE VACCINATION
PROVIDER WHERE YOU GOT THE SHOT.
AND THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO GIVE
YOU A CARD.
CAN YOU ALSO REQUEST PROOF OF
VACCINATION FROM THE ILLINOIS
DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH
WHICH KEEPS A RECORD OF EVERY
PATIENT'S IMMUNIZATIONS IN A
DATABASE.
FILL OUT A FORM TO REQUEST THAT.
>> AND HOPEFULLY MOST FOLKS HAVE
THEIR CARD.
HOW CAN I PROVE MY VACCINATION
STATUS WITHOUT CARRYING MY CARD?
>> GOOD QUESTION.
THE CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL
AND PREVENTION SAYS TO TAKE A
PHOTO OF THE CARD THAT WAY YOU
HAVE A COULD COPY BUT THE
ILLINOIS DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC
HEALTH IS SAYING PROOF IS
VACCINATION IS NOT BEING
REQUIRED AT MOST PLACES BUT THE
STATE AGENCY IS WORKING ON WAYS
TO COME UP WITH A WAY SO PEOPLE
CAN SHOW THEY ARE VACCINATED.
CHICAGO OFFICIALS ARE LAUNCHING
THEIR OWN PASSPORT THAT WILL BE
ROLLED OUT FOR VACCINATED FOLKS
TO GO TO CONCERTS AND SUMMER
EVENTS.
>> WE HAVE TO SEE WHAT THAT
LOOKS LIKE.
MY VACCINE CARD IS IN MY
PASSPORT FUNNY THAT YOU SAID
THAT.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
>> AND YOU CAN READ THE FULL
STORY ON OUR WEBSITE AND READ
MORE ABOUT VACCINE CARDS WHAT TO
DO IF YOU LOSE IT.
ALL AT WTTW.COM/NEWS.
>> AND NOW WE'RE JOINED BY
BRANDIS FRIEDMAN WHO SPENT THE
DAY AT NAVY PIER AS PART OF OUR
"CHICAGO TONIGHT" IN YOUR
NEIGHBORHOOD SERIES.
>> YOU CAN TELL THE WEATHER
PICKED UP A LITTLE BIT SINCE THE
LAST TIME WE SPOKE.
EARLIER TODAY AS WELL WE STOPPED
BY THE CHICAGO SHAKESPEARE
THEATRE AND SPOKE WITH BARBARA
GAINES AND I ASKED HER WHAT THE
PAST YEAR HAS BEEN LIKE FOR THE
COMPANY?
>> ALL THEATERS THROUGHOUT THE
WORLD THAT WAS BEEN SHOULDERED.
IT'S SHUTTERED.
IT'S BEEN CHALLENGING AND THE
BEST WAY TO EXPLAIN IT WOULD BE
THAT THEATRE PEOPLE, PEOPLE IN
THE PERFORMING ARTS HAVE NOT HAD
ANY OXYGEN FOR 14 MONTHS.
IT'S BEEN TOUGH.
>> WHAT IT LIKE FOR THE ARTISTS?
>> THE ARTISTS ARE SUFFERING THE
MOST ACTORS ON STAGE, THERE'S NO
ON STAGE TO BE.
SO OUR TECHNICIANS OUR
DESIGNERS, ARE ALL BLESSED
ACTORS.
IT IS REALLY BEEN A CHALLENGE
FOR ALL OF THEM INDIVIDUALLY AND
AS A GROUP.
>> YOU'VE BEEN ABLE TO PIVOT A
LITTLE BIT WITH YOUR SOME
VIRTUAL PROGRAMMING.
TELL US ABOUT THAT?
>> WE'VE HAD A BLAST DOING
VIRTUAL PROGRAMMING I MUST SAY.
THE MOST RECENT PROGRAMMING WE
HAD AND THEY ARE STILL ON RIGHT
NOW IS DIRECTED BY TYRON AND
MARTY AND THE JOY OF THE
ONE-PEOPLE SHOWS, IS THAT IT'S
COMPLETELY CREATIVE.
IT IS A FULL PRODUCTION LESS
THAN AN HOUR BOTH OF THEM.
AND THEY ARE SO INVENTIVE AND
IMAGINATIVE AND LANGUAGE IS SO
IMPORTANT.
AND THE PERFORMANCES TRULY ARE
SPECTACULAR.
AND WE HAVE TREMENDOUS
EXCITEMENT OUT THERE IN THE WEB
LAND IN TERMS OF APPRECIATION
FOR THESE TWO SHOWS.
WE HAVE JUST AS YOU KNOW, TO BE
423 WHICH WAS A CELEBRATION OF
LIFE RETURNING TO THE PERFORMING
ARTS WHICH WE PERFORMED ON THE
ROOF OF THE PARKING GARAGE AT
NAVY PIER.
AND THAT WAS A BLAST.
YOU HAD SINGERS AND DANCERS.
THERE WERE GREAT INTERVIEWS.
AND AGAIN THIS IS STILL YOU CAN
JUST GET ON 0 OUR WEBSITE,
CHICAGO SHAKES.
>> AND TODAY THE MAYOR ANNOUNCED
FOR THEATRE VENUES ASKER PART OF
THE REOPEN CHICAGO PLAN
INCLUDING THE UNITED CENTER CAN
HOST 25% OF CAPACITY.
BUT WHAT DOES THAT MEAN FOR YOU?
>> WELL, I THINK FOR ALL OF THE
PERFORMING ARTS IT IS A BIT OF A
STRUGGLE TO ONLY HAVE 25%.
I HAVE TO SAY THE ONLY THING
THAT MATTERS TO US AT CHICAGO
SHAKES RIGHT NOW IS SAFETY.
AND HEALTH OF EVERYONE OF OUR
STAFF, OF AUDIENCE MEMBERS OF
YOU.
THAT IS EVERYTHING.
AND ONCE WE ARE ALLOWED TO
GATHER AND SLIGHTLY LARGER
GROUPS, I THINK WE WILL BE
GATHERING WITH JOY AND WE WILL
BE THRILLED TO SEE PEOPLE BACK
IN THIS BEAUTIFUL THEATRE.
LOOK AT ALL THOSE EMPTY SEATS.
>> WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR THE
SUMMER?
WE ARE USED TO SEEING CHICAGO
SHAKES IN THE PARK AND THEN
OBVIOUSLY THE PLANS FOR THE FALL
WHEN HOPEFULLY THINGS ARE
BETTER?
>> WE ARE DOING A SPECIAL
PROJECT IN THE SUMMER WE'RE JUST
WORKING ON NOW.
I WILL KEEP THAT A LITTLE TEASE
BUT IT WILL BE GREAT.
AND THEN IN THE FALL, WE HAVE A
REALLY EXCITING PRODUCTION OF AS
YOU LIKE IT WITH WITHIN THE
ENTIRE SHOW ARE THE BEATLES
SONGS.
SO THE SONG LIKE COME TOGETHER,
COME TOGETHER RIGHT NOW CAN BE
OUR MANTRA.
>> HOPING THAT WILL BE
IN-PERSON?
>> IT WILL BE.
>> THAT'S THE PLAN.
>> THAT'S THE PLAN FOR EVERYBODY
TO BE IN PERSON AND HEAR THE
MUSIC OF THE BEATLES AND THE
MUSIC OF SHAKESPEARE AND
PHENOMENAL CAST HAVING A BLAST
TOGETHER.
WHAT A WONDERFUL WAY TO WELCOME
PEOPLE AS I LOOK AROUND HERE.
I KNOW THERE WILL BE LAUGHTER
AND BRILLIANT HAPPY MUSIC FROM
THE FABULOUS FOUR.
AND THIS OPENING OF NAVY PIER
RIGHT NOW IT IS A MARKER IT IS A
SYMBOL OF LIFE COMING BACK TO
ALL OF OUR LIVES OF SEEING YOUR
FAMILIES AGAIN.
OF GOING OUT AND ENJOYING LIFE
AND WE COULDN'T BE MORE THRILLED
THAT THIS MOMENT IS HERE.
>> AND PARIS THAT WAS CHICAGO
SHAKESPEARE THEATRE'S ARTISTIC
DIRECTOR BARBARA GAINES WHEN WE
COME BACK MAYBE FROM A LESS
WINDY LOCATION WE WILL HAVE MORE
INFORMATION ON THIS LOCATION AND
WHAT IS IN STORE FOR NAVY PIER.
>> GET PROTECTION FROM THE
SQUALL.
AND GREAT TO SEE BARBARA GAINES.
UP NEXT, WE DIVE INTO THE NFL
DRAFT WITH JAMES "BIG CAT"
WILLIAMS.
BUT FIRST, A LOOK AT THE
WEATHER...
>> JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS SELECT
TREVOR LAURENCE, QUARTERBACK
CLEMSON.
>> AND THE NFL DRAFT IS UNDERWAY
AND BEARS FANS ARE OPENING FOR
GAME READY REINFORCEMENTS AFTER
A DISAPPOINTING END.
THEY HAVE EIGHT PICKS INCLUDING
THE 20TH PICK IN THE FIRST ROUND
WILL THEY GET THAT FRANCHISE
QUARTERBACK?
JOINING US TO GIVE HIS TAKE IS
JAMES "BIG CAT" WILLIAMS.
FORMER OFFENSIVE LINEMAN FOR THE
BEARS FROM 1991-2002.
JAMES GREAT TO SEE YOU.
>> HEY, PARIS HOW ARE YOU
>> I'M EXCITED HERE BUT THE
OTHER EXCITEMENT HAPPENING IN
THE NFL AARON RODGERS IS NOT
GOING TO RETURN TO THE PACKERS
NEXT YEAR?
ARE YOU HEARING THAT?
>> THAT'S WHAT I'M HEARING THAT
IS WHAT HE IS SAYING RIGHT NOW.
THE PACKERS STILL HOLD ALL THE
POWER.
HE IS UNDER CONTRACT.
IF HE CHOOSES NOT TO PLAY HE HAS
A LOT OF MONEY TO GIVE BACK.
I DON'T THINK IT IS ABOUT THE
MONEY I THINK IT'S ABOUT WHAT HE
IS DOING AS FAR AS BEING
DISRESPECTED AS FAR AS BRINGING
JORDAN LOVE IN, TO BE A BACKUP
QUARTERBACK OR TO BE THE PERSON
THAT IS GOING TO TAKEOVER FOR
RODGERS.
AND RODGERS NOT KNOWING ANYTHING
ABOUT IT.
YOU ARE A TWO-TIME NFL MVP AND
YOUR ORGANIZATION CANNOT COME TO
YOU AND TELL YOU THAT WE'RE
GOING TO PICK UP A YOUNG
QUARTERBACK TO GROOM FOR THE
FUTURE?
>> COULD BE GOOD NEWS FOR THE
CHICAGO BEARS AND THE RUMORS ARE
THAT HE MIGHT LAND IN DENVER
WITH FORMER COORDINATOR VICK.
WITH THE 20TH PICK IN THE NFL
DRAFT THE BEARS SELECT...
>> I WOULD LIKE TO SAY TEVEN
JENKINS.
A TACKLE.
SOMEONE THAT CAN COME IN RIGHT
NOW AND PLAY AND CONTRIBUTE TO
WHAT THE TEAM NEEDS TO HAVE
DONE.
BUT YOU ALSO HAVE OTHER NEEDS
YOU HAVE WIDE RECEIVER.
A GUY LIKE TERRANCE MARSHALL
FROM LSU THAT COULD STILL BE
THERE AROUND THE 20TH PICK.
THERE ARE A LOT OF OPTIONS.
AND THE ONE THING ABOUT THE
DRAFT IS THINGS CHANGE EVERY
SECOND.
SO A GUY THAT MIGHT BE ON THEIR
BOARD THAT MIGHT BE HIGH ON
THEIR BOARD AT THE 15TH PICK
MIGHT BE GONE BY 16.
YOU JUST NEVER KNOW WHAT IS
GOING TO HAPPEN UNTIL IT IS YOUR
TURN.
>> AND EVERYBODY KNOWS THE BEARS
WANT TO GET A FRANCHISE
QUARTERBACK AT SOME POINT THIS
MAY NOT BE THE DRAFT TO DO IT.
DO YOU ANTICIPATE A BIG CRAZY
TRADE WHERE THE GENERAL MANAGER
RYAN PACE TRADES UP 15 PICKS SO
HE CAN LAND A QUARTERBACK?
>> NO, I DON'T SEE THAT
HAPPENING.
I THINK THAT THERE IS FIRST OF
ALL I DON'T THINK THEY HAVE
ENOUGH CAPITAL TO MOVE UP HIGH
ENOUGH IN THE DRAFT TO GET ONE
OF THE BIG FIVE QUARTERBACKS.
AND ONCE YOU START TALKING ABOUT
THE QUARTERBACKS AFTER THAT, YOU
ARE TALKING ABOUT QUARTERBACKS
THAT CAN GO AT THE END OF THE
SECOND ROUND, EARLY THIRD ROUND.
FOR THEM TO MOVE UP JUST TO TAKE
A GUY THAT THEY COULD PROBABLY
GET IN THE SECOND OR THIRD ROUND
WE'VE HEARD THE STORY BEFORE AND
I DON'T THINK WE WANT TO SEE IT
HAPPEN AGAIN.
>> IS THERE A GOOD GUY IN THE
SECOND OR THIRD ROUND THEY
SHOULD BE TARGETING.
>> THERE IS A A KID NAMED DAVIS
DAFS DAVIS OUT OF STANFORD --
DAVIS MILLS, 600 3, 215 POUNDS.
STANDS WELL IN THE POCKET.
AND THEY WILL TALK ABOUT A FEW
ISSUES THAT HE HAD AS A SENIOR
COMING OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL HE
HURT HIS KNEE.
AND HURT IT AGAIN AFTER THAT
SEASON WAS OVER.
AND THEN HAD ISSUES WITH IT IN
COLLEGE.
HE HAD A COUPLE SURGERIES ON IT.
BUT HE IS THE TYPE OF
QUARTERBACK YOU ARE LOOKING FOR.
BIG, ATHLETIC, HE HAS BEEN
THROUGH A LOT SO HE CAN DEAL
WITH A LOT AND SEEMS TO BE A
GOOD LEADER FOR THAT STANFORD
TEAM.
>> LIKE A BROKEN CLOCK BEING
RIGHT, THE BEARS HAVE TO DRAFT A
QUARTERBACK THAT WORKS OUT HERE.
AND TO THAT END, THE BEARS ARE
NOT JUST ON THE CLOCK ISN'T RYAN
PACE, THE GENERAL MANAGER ON THE
CLOCK?
HE NEEDS TO PROVE SOMETHING HERE
BECAUSE IT JUST HASN'T BEEN SUCH
GOOD GOING LATELY?
>> I THINK THE WHOLE BUILDING IS
ON NOTICE.
I THINK EVERYONE THAT IS A
DIAGNOSE MAKEER IN THAT
BUILDING --
DECISION MAKEER IN THAT SETTLE
ON NOTICE.
TAKEN OFF A AS TACKLE AT 20 THAT
HELPS SOLIDIFY THAT OFFENSIVE
LINE UNLESS YOU WIN GAMES DURING
THE SEASON, NONE OF IT IS GOING
TO MATTER FOR THESE GUYS.
>> SOLIDIFY THAT OFFENSIVE LINE
AND GET A GOOD RUNNING GAME
GOING.
ANDY DALTON IS THE BEARS
STARTING QUARTERBACK BARRING
SOME CRAZY MOVE.
WHAT CAN FANS EXPECT OUT OF ANDY
DALTON?
>> I AM REALLY NOT SURE.
ANDY DALTON WAS A GUY THAT WAS
LOW ON THE LIST LAST YEAR
LOOKING AT QUARTERBACKS.
THEY ENDED UP GETTING FOLES.
AND DALTON GOES TO DALLAS AND
PLAYS A COUPLE DALLAS AND HE
GETS HURT.
IT'S KIND OF CYCLING THROUGH OLD
QUARTERBACKS RIGHT NOW OR
QUARTERBACKS THAT HAVE THE
POTENTIAL TO BE A STARTING BLOCK
FOR A YOUNG GUY.
BUT AS OF RIGHT NOW THEY DON'T
HAVE THAT YOUNG GUY IN THE RANKS
TO TEACH.
>> BUT IT COULD BE A DIFFERENT
LANDSCAPE AGAIN IF AARON RODGERS
DOESN'T COME TO THE PACKERS IT
DOESN'T SEEM THAT SCARY.
I WANTED TO ASK YOU YOUR
REFLECTIONS WE HEARD THE NEWS
THAT FORMER BEARS GREAT
DEFENSIVE TACKLE, STEVE
McMICHAEL ANNOUNCED HE IS
STRUGGLING WITH ALS.
YOUR REACTION TO THAT?
>> I'M SAD.
SAD.
WHEN I FIRST GOT HERE IN '91 AS
A DEFENSIVE LINEMAN, STEVE
McMICHAELS WAS ONE OF THE GUYS
THAT TOOK ME UNDER HIS WING.
RICHARD AND STEVEN MICHAELS.
THOSE GUYS TAUGHT ME WHAT IT WAS
LIKE TO BE IN THE NFL THINGS
THAT I NEEDED TO DO.
THE WAY I NEEDED TO ACT.
AND IT'S HARD TO SEE WHERE HE IS
NOW AND YOU LISTEN TO HIM AND HE
STILL SOUNDS LIKE THE SAME OLD
STEVE.
BUT THEN YOU GET TO SEE HIM AND
IT'S LIKE EVERYTHING'S CHANGED.
HE IS NOT THAT BIG MUSCULAR GUY
THAT WASN'T SCARED TO SAY
ANYTHING.
>> AND YOU DON'T TALK TO ANYBODY
IN THIS INDUSTRY THAT DOESN'T
SAY HE IS JUST A GREAT GUY.
QUICKLY YOU'VE GOT A HIGH SCHOOL
FOOTBALL SEASON UNDERWAY AT LAKE
FOREST HOW IS THAT GOING?
>> WE'RE DONE.
WE'RE DONE.
FORTUNATELY WE WERE ABLE TO GO
6-0.
SO.
>> CONGRATS.
>> YEAH.
CONGRATULATIONS TO LAKE SPORT
SCOUTS.
>> AND JUST FOR OUR VIEWERS, YOU
ARE A COACH THERE AT LAKE FOREST
AND IT WAS A SPRING SEASON
BECAUSE OF THE STRANGE SITUATION
WITH COVID.
AARON RODGERS IF YOU ARE
WATCHING CHICAGO IS A GOOD PLACE
IT IS.
SO WHO KNOWS.
LET'S NOT GIVE UP HOPE.
OUR THANKS TO JAMES "BIG CAT"
WILLIAMS HIM.
THANKS PARIS.
>> UP NEXT, BRANDIS FRIEDMAN
JOINS US LIVE FROM NAVY PIER
HOPEFULLY IN A SAFER SETTING
WITH MORE ON THE CITY'S
REOPENING PLAN.
SO STICK AROUND.
>> AND NOW WE CHECK BACK IN WITH
BRANDIS FRIEDMAN WHO IS
COANCHORING FROM NAVY PIER AS
PART OF OUR "CHICAGO TONIGHT" IN
YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD SERIES.
YOU GOT OUT OF THE ELEMENTS.
>> WE FOUND A BETTER SPOT.
IT'S SURPRISINGLY BETTER HERE.
RIGHT NOW WE ARE JOINED BY PAYAL
PATEL THE COMMUNICATIONS
DIRECTOR FOR NAVY PIER AND THANK
YOU FOR MEETING US OUT HERE.
FIRST, TELL US ABOUT THIS
LOCATION AND WHERE WE ARE ON THE
PIER.
>> WE ARE OFFSHORE ROOFTOP AND
BAR THIS IS THE LARGEST ROOFTOP
BAR IN NORTH AMERICA AND THE
LARGEST ROOFTOP IN THE WORLD AND
DOCUMENTED BY GUINESS BOOK OF
WORLD RECORDS THIS IS A
TREASURED PLACE FOR US AT THE
PIER.
NEWLY REOPENED.
>> A PHASED REOPENING IS
BEGINNING FOR NAVY PIER.
WHAT IS IN THE WORKS?
>> THE FIRST PHASE OF THE PIER'S
REOPENING IS OUTDOOR SPACES
NORTH AND SOUTH DOCK, THE PARK,
PIER PARK AND WHAT IS GREAT
ABOUT PIER PARK'S REOPENING IS
THAT THE RIDES AND ATTRACTIONS
WILL BE PART OF THE REOPENING.
IT WASN'T LAST YEAR AFTER THE
PANDEMIC HIT IN MARCH WE WERE
NOT REABLE TO OPEN OUR RIDES
LIKE THE WHEEL THEY WILL BE
REOPENED AND WE'RE EXCITED TO
GET PEOPLE BACK SAFELY.
AND WE WILL BE DOING THOROUGH
CLEANING AND ONLY PEOPLE THAT
YOU CAME WITH WILL ENTER THE
GONDOLA WITH YOU.
>> WHAT WON'T BE OPEN?
>> NORTH FACES THE INSIDE FOOD
COURT AREAS.
THE SECONDFACE PHASE WILL
INCLUDE THEM WE ARE EASING BACK
IN.
SEEING HOW THINGS GO IN THE NEXT
COMING WEEKS AND SOMETIME IN MAY
WE ANTICIPATE REOPENING ALL
INDOOR SPACES.
>> HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE THE
IMPACT ON SOME OF THE BUSINESSES
HERE OVER THIS PAST YEAR IN
REGARDS TO RESTAURANTS?
>> THERE ARE NEARLY SO MANY
BUSINESSES ACROSS THE PIER
INCLUDES RETAIL SHOPS,
RESTAURANTS, TOUR BOATS AND
CRUISES HAVE BEEN IMPACTED BY
THAT CLOSURE WAS DONE WITH THEM
IN MIND WITH THE INTENTION OF
GETTING THEM TO THE OTHER SIDE
OF THE PANDEMIC.
THE OPERATIONAL COSTS WOULD HAVE
BEEN TOO HIGH.
SO WE'VE HELPED A LOT OF THEM
MAKE IT TO THE OTHER SIDE.
MOST ARE COMING BACK AND WE ARE
THRILLED TO SEE THEM COME BACK.
THE RESTAURANTS SOME OF THE
RESTAURANTS WILL BE OPENING AS
PART OF THE FIRST PHASE.
THE OUTDOOR PATIOS AND THOSE
THAT HAVE CAPACITY TO MANAGE
PEOPLE INSIDE CAN DO SO.
AND THE RETAIL SHOPS WILL BE
PART OF THE SECOND PHASE.
IT'S GREAT TO SEE THEM COME
BACK.
>> NAVY PIER YOU HOST
CONVENTIONS AND ART SHOWS AND
MAJOR EVENTS.
ANY IDEA WHEN THOSE MIGHT BEGIN
TO RETURN?
>> TODAY'S GREAT NEWS THAT THE
MAYOR ANNOUNCED WILL BE SO GREAT
FOR NAVY PIER BECAUSE NAVY PIER
IS A POPULAR PLACE FOR PRIVATE
EVENTS.
WHILE THE PRIVATE CONSUMER SHOWS
WILL TAKE A LITTLE BIT OF TIME.
TODAY'S NEWS WILL HELP US MOVE
IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION FOR
PRIVATE EVENTS THAT RELATE TO
WEDDINGS AND CORPORATE EVENTS
AND THE GREAT NEWS ABOUT NOT
HAVING THOSE WHO ARE FULLY
VACCINATED NOT COUNT AGAINST
YOUR CAPACITY LIMIT THAT WILL BE
SO GREAT FOR US TO HOST THOSE
PEOPLE THAT WANT TO HAVE THOSE
PRIVATE SPACES INCLUDING AT
OFFSHORE YOU COULD HOST YOUR
WEDDING HERE AND NOW THE
CAPACITY WILL BE MORE FLEXIBLE
TO ACCOMMODATE.
>> AND YOU OPENED A NEW HOTEL.
PAYAL PATEL COMMUNICATIONS
