>> WE ASK THAT YOU ALL CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR THIS OFFICER'S FULL RECOVERY AND THE OFFICER'S FAMILY AS WELL AS THE MEN AND WOMEN OF THE CHICAGO POLICE DEPARTMENT AND THEIR FAMILIES TO CONTINUE TO DO ALL THEY CAN TO PROTECT THE PEOPLE OF CHICAGO.

>> DUE TO THE BRAVE EFFORTS OF NOT ONLY THE OFFICER WHO WAS WOUNDED THIS MORNING BUT ALL THE OFFICERS EVERYDAY GIVING EVERYTHING TO PROTECT THE PEOPLE OF CHICAGO.

>> MAYOR LORI LIGHTFOOT AND CITY PUBLIC SAFETY LEADERS DISCUSSED SAFETY PLAN FOR THE FOURTH OF JULY WEEKEND.

THE MAYOR SAYS THERE WILL BE ENHANCED PUBLIC SAFETY AROUND NAVY PIER FOR THE FIREWORKS SHOW.

LAVINE AVERAGED 24.4 POINTS A GAME AS THE BULLS MADE IT TO THE PLAYOFFS, AND HE IS RECOVERING FROM OFF SEASON KNEE SURGERY.

>> AND NOW TO OUR "THE WEEK IN REVIEW" PANEL.

JOINING US ARE CRAIG DELLIMORE LONG TIME POLITICAL EDITOR FOR WBBM NEWS RADIO.

OUR OWN AMANDA VINICKY.

JEREMY GORNER WHO COVERS STATE HOUSE POLITICS FOR THE TRIBUNE AND DAN MIHALOPOULOS INVESTIGATIVE REPORTER ON WBEZ'S GOVERNMENT AND POLITICS TEAM.

LET'S DIG INTO IT IN DARREN BAILEY'S VICTORY SPEECH LAST NIGHT HE PITCHED HIMSELF AS AN EVERY MAN FARMER UP AGAINST AN OUT OF TOUCH BILLIONAIRE AND SEEMED TO BE COURTING CHICAGO VOTERS.

>> LET'S HEAR IT FOR CHICAGO TONIGHT.

HAVE WE GOT ANYBODY HERE?

GOD BLESS YOU.

WOW.

FRIENDS, BILLIONAIRES LIKE PRITZKER CANNOT RELATE TO THE STRUGGLES OF WORKING PEOPLE AND TAXPAYERS LIKE US.

IT'S THAT SIMPLE.

YOU AND I HAVE TO BALANCE OUR FAMILY BUDGETS.

BILLIONAIRE PRITZKER HAS NEVER HAD TO.

>> LET'S HEAR IT FOR CHICAGO DIFFERENT THAN SAYING CHICAGO IS A HELL HOLE.

CRAIG DELLIMORE WOULD YOU ANTICIPATE THE TRADITIONAL TACK TO THE CENTER IN THIS CAMPAIGN?

OR IS DARREN BAILEY GOING TO CONTINUE ON WITH THE CONSERVATIVE BON FIDS.

>> I THINK DARREN BAILEY IS GOING TO TRY TO KEEP TO THE RIGHT.

BECAUSE FRANKLY THAT IS NOT ONLY HIS BASE, REMEMBER HIS VICTORY WAS NOT JUST DOWN STATE.

HE RAN STRONG AMONG REPUBLICANS UP IN THE NORTHERN PART OF ILLINOIS, TOO.

SO CLEARLY THE MESSAGE IS WORKING, CLEARLY STILL EMBRACING DONALD TRUMP IS WORKING.

BUT YOU CAN SEE HE SOFTENED A BIT ON CHICAGO.

SO YOU KNOW, THERE WILL BE A LITTLE BIT OF TWEAKING BUT I THINK WE'LL SEE THE DARREN BAILEY THAT IS THE FOLKSY FARMER AND UNDERNEATH THE STUDIOUS AND CRAFTY POLITICIAN.

>> WONDER IF HE MODERATED HIS FEELINGS ON CHICAGO SESEDING FROM THE REST OF THE STATE.

>> BAILEY GOT TRUMP'S ENDORSEMENT LATE IN THE GAME DO YOU THINK HE WILL TRY TO RUN AWAY FROM TRUMP?

>> NO HE WAS UP BY 17 POINTS IN THE POLL THAT WE AT "THE SUN TIMES" HAD BEFORE DONALD TRUMP ENDORSED HIM.

AND HE PROBABLY DID NOT NEED DONALD TRUMP'S ENDORSEMENT.

BUT HE WANTS IT.

AND THIS IS DARREN BAILEY.

I THINK HE IS GOING TO TRY TO HIT J.B. PRITZKER BUT AT THE SAME TIME HE WANTED THE EMBRACE OF ANOTHER BILLIONAIRE IN DONALD TRUMP.

WE ALSO DON'T KNOW REALLY THAT DARREN BAILEY IS THIS FOLKSY FARMER IN THE SENSE THAT HE HAS A FARM THAT IS THE SIZE OF SHAMBURG.

HE HAS MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN FEDERAL TAXPAYER SUBSIDIES FARM SUBSIDIES AT THE SAME TIME THAT HE HAS ESPOUSED FREE MARKET ECONOMICS AS HIS POLITICAL STAND.

SO DOES HE REALLY HAVE TO BALANCE HIS BUDGET LIKE YOU AND I DO?

WE DON'T KNOW.

HE DOESN'T WANT TO RELEASE HIS TAX RETURNS.

AND IN THIS SENSE, AGAIN, HE IS MIMICKING DONALD TRUMP.

>> AMANDA VINICKY, HE SAYS HE DOESN'T WANTED TO RELEASE HIS INCOME TAX RETURNS IS THAT WHY?

IT MIGHT SHOW VOTERS HOW MUCH HE IS GETTING FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT FOR HIS BIG FARM?

>> I THINK WE CAN KNOW WHAT HE IS GETTING FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT BECAUSE WE CAN LOOK THAT UP.

WE HAVE BEEN AWARE OF GETTING THAT MONEY.

HE MIGHT NOT WANT HIS PERSONAL ASSETS HOW BIG THAT AGRIBUSINESS IS.

HOW WEALTHY HE IS OR PERHAPS IF IT ISN'T GOING SO WELL, MAYBE THAT, IF YOU ARE TRYING TO RUN AS THE GUY THAT CAN BALANCE THE BUDGET AND WE WON'T KNOW UNTIL WE CAN LOOK AT THE TOP FILES.

IT IS SOMETHING HE WAS ABLE TO GET BY THE PRIMARY WITHOUT THAT.

SOME OF THE CANDIDATES IN THE PRIMARY DID RELEASE THEIR TAX RETURNS.

BAILEY DIDN'T.

HE WASN'T PUNISHED FOR IT BY VOTERS THIS TIME AROUND AND AND I THINK THE EXPECTATION IS BY THE CALCULUS ONE WOULD ASSUME BY HIS CAMPAIGN I HAVE NOT HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO INTERVIEW HIM PERSONALLY, IS THAT PRITZKER IS A BILLIONAIRE WHO CARES WHAT HIS TAX RETURNS SAY.

>> WELL, PRITZKER WASTED NO TIME IN GOING AFTER BAILEY AT HIS RALLY.

TAKE A LOOK.

>> LET ME BE CLEAR...

SOMEONE WHO SEEKS OUT AND ACCEPTS THE ENDORSEMENT OF A RACIST, MISOGYNISTIC HOMOPHOBIC, SEEN FOAMIC, TWICE I AM AUTO PEACH -- IMPEACHED PRESIDENT.

>> HARSH WORDS JEREMY GORNER LET US BE CLEAR.

THIS IS THE MATCHUP THAT J.B. PRITZKER WANTED.

ANY CHANCE HE MIGHT REGRET HELPING BANK ROLL FORCES THAT HELPED GET -- BAILEY THAT NOMINATION?

>> I DON'T THINK SO, PARIS.

LET'S LOOK AT THE TRUMP ENDORSEMENT FOR EXAMPLE.

PRESIDENT TRUMP DIDN'T DO TOO WELL IN ILLINOIS WHEN HE RAN FOR PRESIDENT HERE.

AND I THINK A LOT OF REPUBLICAN VOTERS IF THEY HAVE NOT BEEN FOLLOWING THE PRIMARY THAT CLOSELY AND THERE WAS LOW VOTER TURNOUT IF THERE'S ANYTHING THEY KNOW ABOUT DARREN BAILEY THEY DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ELSE THEY KNOW HE GOTTEN DORSED BY DONALD TRUMP AND THERE IS A REASON THAT J.B. PRITZKER IS BANKING ON THAT BECAUSE HE KNOW WHAT REPUBLICANS ARE GOING TO THINK.

RICHARD IRVIN WHO BILLIONAIRE KEN GRIFFIN SPENT $50 MILLION ON, WHO IT APPEARED EARLY ON IRVIN WAS THE FAVORITE BECAUSE OF THE MONEY HE HAD ALONE.

ONE OF THE -- IRVIN FINISHED THIRD.

ONE OF HIS BIG TALKING POINTS TOWARDS THE END WAS THAT IN ORDER FOR A REPUBLICAN TO BEAT J.B. PRITZKER YOU NEED A LOT OF DEMOCRATS TO CROSSOVER.

YOU NEED INDEPENDENTS TO BE WON OVER BY A REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE.

BAILEY AS WHAT WE'VE SEEN SO FAR HASN'T SHOWN THAT HE'S WILLING TO COMPROMISE LIKE THAT.

LIKE CRAIG WAS SAYING, PERHAPS HE HAS BEEN A LITTLE NICER IN THE LAST FEW DAYS, BACKING AWAY FROM CALLING CHICAGO A HELL HOLE BUT THAT IS GOING TO TAKE A LONGTIME IF HE IS GOING TO WIN THE ELECTION HE HAS TO WIN OVER INDEPENDENTS AND DEMOCRATS AND THAT WILL BE HARD TO DO AGAINST PRITZKER IN NOVEMBER.

>> RIGHT THAT WILL TAKE A HECK OF LOT OF STRAT JIZZING.

RICHARD IRVIN FINISHED THIRD WHAT WENT WRONG WITH THIS CAMPAIGN?

>> I THINK SOME OF IT REMEMBER, POLITICS IS SUPPOSED TO BE ABOUT ADDITION NOT SUBTRACTION.

I THINK ONE OF THE PROBLEMS WAS THAT RICHARD IRVIN HAD A GREAT STORY HIS BACKGROUND FROM A MODEST, POOR BEGINNING, PUBLIC HOUSING.

IN THE SERVICE.

ALL OF THAT MADE HIM ALMOST A PERFECT CANDIDATE TO GO UP AGAINST J.B. PRITZKER IN THE GENERAL.

BUT THE PROBLEM IS YOU HAVE TO GET THROUGH THE REPUBLICAN PRIMARY.

AND THAT IS A TOTALLY DIFFERENT BATTLEFIELD.

FIRST, HE HAD TO ANSWER TO THOSE WHO WERE QUESTIONING WHETHER HE WAS GOING TO BE KEN GRIFFIN PUPPET.

HE GOT PROBABLY PAST THAT.

AND THE QUESTION IS WAS HE REALLY A REPUBLICAN?

BECAUSE HE IS NOT THE ULTRA CONSERVATIVE THAT HIS MESSAGES WERE SAYING HE WAS.

HE REALLY IS A MODERATE.

AND HE -- AND THEN WHAT DID HE DO IN THE LAST ELECTION?

DID HE VOTE FOR TRUMP?

AND HE WOULDN'T ANSWER.

AND I THINK THAT PUSHED PEOPLE AWAY FROM HIM AND THAT WAS THE PROBLEM HE KEPT LOSING SMALL POCKETS OF SUPPORT SO BAILEY CAME IN AND WRAPPED THEM UP.

>> AND THERE WERE A LOT OF ADS FUNDED BY INTERESTS CLOSE TO DARREN BAILEY AND INTERESTS CLOSE TO PRITZKER THAT BROUGHT UP A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH THE IRVIN CAMPAIGN.

DAN MIHALOPOULOS IT ALMOST FELT LIKE THIS CAMPAIGN HAD A NARRATIVE BEFORE IT HAD A CANDIDATE.

BECAUSE THE CANDIDATE HAD POSITIONS IN THE PAST THAT WERE DIRECTLY AT ODDS WITH THE POSITIONS HE WAS ESPOUSING IN THE CAMPAIGN.

WE HAD DISCOVERED IN OUR INVESTIGATIONS A PLAY TO PAY STYLE OF GOVERNANCE IN AURORA TROUBLING PATTERN THERE.

DID THIS TEAM THAT RAN THIS CAMPAIGN, THIS THEY RAN RAUNER'S CAMPAIGN FROM THE MARK KIRK WING OF THE PARTY DID THEY NOT VET THIS CANDIDATE OR THINK THE NARRATIVE WOULD WIN THE DAY?

>> I THINK THEY WOULD ARGUE THAT THEY CAME ACROSS A VERY DIFFICULT SITUATION WITH NOT ONLY THE TENS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS WE DON'T HAVE THE FINAL ACCOUNTING YET THAT CAME FROM J.B. PRITZKER AND THE DEMOCRATIC GOVERNOR'S ASSOCIATION ATTACKING IRVIN SO THEY WOULD GET BAILEY IN THE GENERAL ELECTION AGAINST J.B. PRITZKER INSTEAD OF IRVIN.

I THINK YOU KNOW, YOU JUST HAVE A SITUATION HERE AS CRAIG SAID BEFORE WHERE YOU HAVE TO GO FAR TO THE RIGHT TO WIN A NOMINATION NOW AND IRVIN IS IN A POSITION WHERE HE DOESN'T WANT TO GO THAT FAR RIGHT BECAUSE HE IS LOOKING TOWARD THE GENERAL ELECTION WHO HE IS AUTHENTICALLY AND THAT IS A GOOD QUESTION.

A COUPLE QUESTIONS THAT MADE THIS SHIFT FROM THE RIGHT TO THE CENTER, PARTICULARLY DIFFICULT ONE ABORTION TAKING CENTER STAGE.

HOW DO YOU ADDRESS THIS ISSUE?

MOST OF THE STATE IS IN FAVOR OF ABORTION RIGHTS.

BUT A LOT OF YOUR PRIMARY VOTERS ON THE REPUBLICAN SIDE ARE NOT.

AND THIS ISSUE GOT CRYSTALLIZED IN A DRAMATIC WAY.

HE TRIED TO DODGE THAT ISSUE, RICHARD IRVIN AND HIS CAMPAIGN TRIED TO DANCE AROUND.

AND THEY TRIED TO DANCE AROUND THE ISSUE OF TRUMP WHICH WAS CRYSTALLIZED ONCE AGAIN WHEN YOU AT WTTW REPORTED ON THOSE TEXT MESSAGES THAT ENDED UP IN YOUR HANDS SOMEHOW IN WHICH HE WAS CRITICIZING DONALD TRUMP EVEN CALLING HIM A RACIST, I BELIEVE IF I RECALL CORRECTLY.

WELL, AGAIN, HE IS IN A PRIMARY AT THAT POINT WHERE HE IS TRYING TO DANCE AROUND QUESTIONS ABOUT TRUMP.

BUT AT TIMES IN THE PAST HE MADE IT CLEAR WHEN HE WAS MERELY THE MAYOR OF AURORA AND NOT SEEKING THE REPUBLICAN NOMINATION FOR GOVERNOR, THOSE TIMES HE WAS CRITICAL OF TRUMP.

>> RIGHT.

RIGHT.

WHEN HE WASN'T UNDER THE HEAT OF THIS CAMPAIGN.

AMANDA, KEN GRIFFIN LEFT THE STATE OF ILLINOIS TAKING HIS COMPANY TO FLORIDA BEFORE THIS ELECTION HAPPENED.

IS THIS THE LAST WE HEAR FROM HIM IN ILLINOIS POLITICS?

>> I IMAGINE SO.

AND I THINK THAT IS ANOTHER THING THAT DOGGED THE IRVIN CAMPAIGN.

YOU COULD SEE THE CHECKS STOPPED COMING.

IT WAS NEVER ANNOUNCED BUT BECAME OBVIOUS WHEN THE IRVIN CAMPAIGN WAS NO LONGER MAINTAINING THE PRESENCE IN COMMERCIALS AND ADS IN THE SOUTHERN PART OF THE STATE.

I THINK THAT ALSO CHANGED THE TRAJECTORY BECAUSE WE HAD HEARD KEN GRIFFIN SAY HE IS ALL IN.

AND THEN WHATEVER HAPPENED IT APPEARED IN FACT, NO, HE WAS NOT ALL IN HE WAS ONLY $50 MILLION IN AND NOT AS MUCH AS IT WOULD TAKE.

I DON'T THINK THIS IS GOING TO BE EASY FOR ANY OF REPUBLICANS STATE-WIDE WHETHER THEY WERE ON THE IRVIN KEN GRIFFIN TICKET OR OTHERWISE BECAUSE DEMOCRATS HAVE J.B. PRITZKER'S OWN BILLIONS TO RUN ON AS WELL AS LABOR THAT HAS A LOT OF PEOPLE AND A LOT OF MONEY.

SO THIS MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT FOR REPUBLICANS TO GO TOE-TO-TOE.

YOU HAVE DARREN BAILEY AND RICHARD UIHLEIN YOU HAVE MONEY COMING IN TO HIS CAMPAIGN BUT IS UIHLEIN GOING TO BE GIVING ANY TO DEMMER, TO BRADY?

AND THE OTHER OFFICES.

>> $9 MILLION IN THE PRIMARY HERE FOR BAILEY.

WE'LL SEE IF HE SPENDS ANY IN THE GENERAL ELECTION.

JEREMY GORNER IS THE VICTORY HERE OF DARREN BAILEY MEAN THAT IT'S HIS ILLINOIS REPUBLICAN PARTY?

IF WE LOOK AT THE HISTORY OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY HERE IT IS A MODERATE PARTY ESPECIALLY ON THE SOCIAL ISSUES DOMINATED BY SOME OF THE SUBURBAN REPRESENTATIVES.

DOES THIS SIGNAL THAT THOSE DAYS ARE OVER?

AND THE PARTY IS A TRUMP STYLE PARTY LIKE IT IS ACROSS THE NATION?

>> I MEAN ON PAPER IT LOOKS LIKE THAT WOULD BE KIND OF THE LONG-TERM INVESTMENT ON EVEN IF HE DOESN'T WIN THE ELECTION.

THAT COULD INSPIRE SOME CHANGE ON THE REPUBLICAN SIDE IN ILLINOIS.

WE'RE SEEING THIS ACROSS THE COUNTRY WHERE IN OTHER STATES.

AND NATIONAL OFFICES WHERE MORE MODERATE WINGS OF REPUBLICAN PARTY HAVE GONE FURTHER TO THE RIGHT.

AND I THINK THE BAILEY SO LIKE HERE IS AN EXAMPLE.

THE BAILEY WIN IS EMBLEMATIC OF MARY MILLER DEFEATING INCUMBENT RODNEY DAVIS DOWN STATE AFTER THE REDISTRICTING.

NOW, RODNEY DAVIS THIS IS COULD HAVE NATIONAL PROBABLY A GOOD NATIONAL EXAMPLE.

HE WAS HIGHLY REGARDED AMONG THE REPUBLICANS IN CONGRESS.

KIND OF SORT OF MODERATE BUT HE WAS A TRUMP SUPPORTER.

HE LIKES TO SOUTH THAT.

MARY MILLER HE HAD BEEN AROUND FOR 10 YEARS IN CONGRESS.

MARY MILLER HAD BEEN AROUND FOR TWO YEARS IN CONGRESS BEFORE DEFEATING RODNEY DAVIS ON TUESDAY.

AND SHE THE TRUMP ENDORSEMENT.

AND THAT REALLY MADE A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE FOR HER.

I WAS AT THE TRUMP RALLY LAST WEEKEND AND TALKING TO TRUMP SUPPORTERS ONE OF WHOM I ASKED ABOUT MARY MILLER, BASICALLY, WHAT IS IT ABOUT MARY MILLER THAT YOU LIKE OVER RODNEY DAVIS?

AND THE PERSON SAID I CANNOT GET SPECIFIC OTHER THAN THE FACT THAT DONALD TRUMP IS ENDORSING HER AND THAT IS ENOUGH FOR ME.

AND DONALD TRUMP THAT DAY ALSO ENDORSED DARREN BAILEY THAT COULD BE ENOUGH FOR A LOT OF REPUBLICANS IN THE STATE ALONE.

THAT GOES ALONG WAY.

EVEN IF HE DOESN'T WIN THIS ELECTION THAT COULD SIGNAL A LONG-TERM SEA CHANGE WE COULD SEE SLOWLY BUT SURELY IN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IN ILLINOIS REGARDSLESS OF WHETHER BAILEY WINS IN NOVEMBER.

>> THAT TRUMP ENDORSEMENT MIGHT BE THE KISS OF DEATH FOR BAILEY IN THE GENERAL ELECTION.

CRAIG DELLIMORE LET'S TALK ABOUT THE OTHER CONGRESSIONAL RESULTS WE HAVE WINNERS LIKE SEAN CASTEN IN THE 6TH DISTRICT.

DELIA RAMIREZ IN THE THIRD DISTRICT WHICH IS HEAVILY LATINO.

DANNY DAVIS WINS AFTER A TOUGH CHALLENGE IN THE 7TH THERE.

AND JONATHAN JACKSON THE SON OF JESSE JACKSON IN THE FIRST AFTER BOBBY RUSH IS STEPPING DOWN AFTER THE TERM.

DO THESE RESULTS SAY ANYTHING CONSISTENT ABOUT THE DIRECTION OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY?

>> I THINK THE CONGRESSIONAL RACES SAY A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THE DISTRICTS THEY ARE REPRESENTING RATHER THAN A NATIONAL TREND.

ALTHOUGH MORE PROGRESSIVE WOULD BE THE ONE THING YOU COULD SAY BECAUSE BAILEY AND RAMIREZ YOU GOT TWO PROGRESSIVE CANDIDATES, GILBERT VILLEGAS, THE CHICAGO ALDERMAN WAS PROGRESSIVE BUT DELIA RAMIREZ CONSIDERABLY MORE PROGRESSIVE AND GOT AOC, BACKING HER.

AND BERNIE SANDERS.

THAT KIND OF THING WON THE DAY THERE.

JONATHAN JACKSON WON WITH A LOT OF HELP FROM THE CRYPTO BUSINESS.

SO I'M NOT SURE WHAT THAT SAYS YET BUT HE IS JESSE JACKSON'S SON.

HE IS WELL SPOKEN AND A BUSINESSMAN AND HAD A RIDICULOUSLY CROWDED FIELD 17 DEMOCRATS AND THREE OR FOUR OTHER CANDIDATES WHO ARE RESPECTED AND WELL-KNOWN PROBABLY SPLIT THE VOTE AMONG THEM AT LEAST THE WOMEN DID AND JACKSON SQUEAKS THROUGH.

I THINK THAT DANNY DAVIS SQUEAKED THROUGH HIS RACE.

AND KINA COLLINS DID VERY WELL A REMATCH AND SHE GOT CLOSER THIS TIME.

I THINK THE MESSAGES ARE ALL OVER BUT IT HAS TO DO WITH THE INDIVIDUAL AND WHERE THEY ARE RUNNING.

>> IT DOES SEEM LIKE THE PERSON THAT WON IN THESE DISTRICTS MAY BE FIT THE TENOR OF THOSE DISTRICTS SPECIFICALLY.

CRAIG MENTIONED, DAN MIHALOPOULOS THIS CRYPTO HELP THAT JONATHAN JACKSON GOT HE WAS REPORTED HE HAD GOTTEN $500 MILLION FROM A CRYPTOCURRENCY BILLIONAIRE.

WHAT IS THE NATURE OF THAT SUPPORT AND THE NAME ESCAPES ME.

WHAT IS HIS INTEREST IN THIS CANDIDACY?

>> I DON'T KNOW AT THIS POINT.

THEY ARE DROPPING MONEY IN DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE COUNTRY.

YOU KNOW, WHAT COMMITTEES WOULD THIS CONGRESSMAN BE ON?

IT'S ALL VERY, VERY NEW TO A LOT OF US.

I THINK LYNN SWEET IN THE "SUN-TIMES" BROKE THE STORY OF THAT CONTRIBUTION.

NOT TOO LONG BEFORE THE PRIMARY IN THE LAST COUPLE WEEKS.

SO YOUR GUESS IS AS GOOD AS MINE WHAT THEY THE REGULATORY ISSUES WILL BE WITH THEM IN CONGRESS.

BUT DEFINITELY, PUT JONATHAN JACKSON OVER THE TOP IN A VERY CROWDED FIELD.

I THINK HE GOT A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN I THOUGHT THE WINNER IN THE RACE WOULD GET BECAUSE IT WAS REALLY SPLIT UP.

BUT NOBODY REALLY EMERGED BOBBY RUSH ENDORSED SOMEBODY ELSE ALMOST AS SOON AS HE SAID HE WOULD RETIRE.

IT MADE A HUGE DIFFERENCE AND JONATHAN JACKSON IS TAKING UP THE MANTLE AND THAT HAS BEEN IN THE CASE IN THE JACKSON FAMILY SINCE JESSE JUNIOR WHO WAS A CONGRESSMAN HIMSELF WAS INDICTED AND JAILED FOR CORRUPTION.

HE AND HIS WIFE ALDERMAN WIFE BOTH.

SO THE JACKSON NAME CONTINUES AND THE JACKSON NAME IS ALMOST CERTAIN TO BE IN THE ROLES OF THE U.S. OF HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES EARLY NEXT YEAR.

>> JONATHAN JACKSON HOPING HIS CAREER DOESN'T GO THE WAY HIS BROTHER'S DID YOU MENTIONED THE CORRUPTION SCANDAL.

LET'S MOVE ON TO THE SHOCKING TESTIMONY WE HEARD IN THE JANUARY 6TH HEARINGS THIS WEEK CASA HUMILDE TESTIFIED THAT -- CASSIDY HUTCHINSON TESTIFIED THAT PRESIDENT TRUMP KNEW PEOPLE WERE ARMED BEFORE THE STORMING OF THE CAPITOL.

>> I HEARD THE PRESIDENT SAY I DON'T CARE THEY HAVE WEAPONS THEY ARE NOT HERE TO HURT ME.

LET ME PEOPLE IN THEY CAN MARCH THE CAPITOL.

LET THE PEOPLE IN.

TAKE THE EFFING MAGS AWAY.

>> AND TRUMP ALLEGEDLY REACHED OVER THE SEAT TO TRY AND TAKE THE WHEEL OF THIS MOTORCADE CAR THE S.U.V.

AND HE AASSAULTED A SECRET SERVICE AGENT AND THERE WAS WHISPERS THAT WASN'T TRUE AND NOW IT'S MORE CORROBORATED TODAY.

AMANDA VINICKY DOES ANYTHING WE HEARD INCREASE THE ODDS HERE OF A POSSIBLE CRIMINAL INDICTMENT AGAINST THE PRESIDENT OR AT LEAST SOME OF THE COCONSPIRATORS LIKE MARK MEADOWS AND RUDY GIULIANI.

>> I AM NOT A LAWYER BUT THAT SEEMS TO ELEVATE THIS.

IF YOU HAVE BEEN LISTENING TO THE HEARINGS THERE IS TESTIMONY H WE HAVE NOT HEARD MUCH FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE GETTING INVOLVED IN POLITICS AND TIPPING THEIR HAND AT ALL ON ANY OF THESE THINGS.

BUT CERTAINLY I THINK IT RAISES THE PRESSURE ON THE DOJ TO TAKE ACTION BECAUSE YOU WATCH THAT AND SAY OK, IT SHOULD BE SOMETHING AND BY THE WAY, THIS ISN'T THE LAST OF IT.

MORE HEARINGS ARE STILL TO COME ALTHOUGH WE HAVE TO KEEP WAITING FOR THEM.

SO, YES, I THINK YOU WATCH THOSE, AND, YES, CHANGES MINDS FOR THOSE WHO ARE I THINK -- I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH IT CHANGES.

WE TALKED A LOT THIS PROGRAM ABOUT BELIEVERS OF DONALD TRUMP SOME OF WHOM I WOULD SAY STILL CONTINUE TO BACK HIM.

THOSE ARE NOT HOWEVER THE PEOPLE LEADING THE DEPARTMENT.

>> LET'S SEE HOW IT TURNS OUT IN THE ILLINOIS PRIMARY.

AND ADAM KINZINGER HINTED HAS MORE REVELATIONS TO COME.

JEREMY GORNER, THE THOMPSON CENTER WHICH IS WHERE THE STATE OF ILLINOIS OFFICES HAVE BEEN AT LEAST THEIR CHICAGO LOCATION FOR MANY, MANY YEARS THEY SOLD IT TO A DEVELOPER.

NOW COMES THE NEWS THAT GOOGLE MIGHT BUY IT.

HOW LIKELY IS THAT TO HAPPEN?

>> I MEAN, SO FAR I MEAN, IT LOOKS LIKE THEY ARE EXPLORING THE IDEA OF DOING IT.

I BELIEVE THAT THE STATE HAD TALKED FOR YEARS ABOUT SELLING THIS AND I GUESS A CHICAGO DEVELOPER AGREED TO BUY IT FOR $70 MILLION.

OF COURSE, GOOGLE ENTERING THE PICTURE COULD BE WELCOMING NEWS FOR THE THOMPSON CENTER.

SINCE WE'VE SEEN OTHER COMPANIES MOVE OUT OF CHICAGO.

AND OBVIOUSLY IT WOULD BE INTERESTING TO SEE THEY ARE BASED IN THE WEST LOOP IT WOULD BE INTERESTING TO SEE WHAT INFLUENCE THEY COULD HAVE IN THE HEART OF THE GOVERNMENT DISTRICT BASICALLY.

BUT -- >> THE GOVERNOR, I THINK SAID RECENTLY THAT HE DOESN'T WANT TO DO ANYTHING TO INTERFERE WITH THE DEAL WITH THE DEVELOPER.

STILL WAITING ON WORD FOR THAT AND HE WOULD TRY TO ACCOMMODATE AND DO ANYTHING TO HELP DOWNTOWN.

NO CONTRACT SIGNED.

>> THEY ARE JUST IN THE NEGOTIATION PHASE.

>> AND THAT DEAL IS CLOSED, CORRECT?

>> THE DEVELOPER PORTION.

>> RIGHT.

SO GOOGLE WOULD BUY IT FROM THE DEVELOPER APPARENTLY?

>> WE ARE UNCLEAR?

>> MAYBE THE DEVELOPER IS GOING TO DO A QUICK FLIP LIKE FLIPPING THE THOMPSON CENTER.

>> WE DON'T KNOW.

>> AT LEAST IT'S GOING TO BE AROUND AND THAT WOULD BE GOOD.

URBAN PREP CHARTER SCHOOL THIS WAS BROKEN BY WBEZ IT'S BEEN LAUDED FOR ITS 100% GRADUATION RATE AND COLLEGE ACCEPTANCE RATE AND IT'S BEEN IN FINANCIAL TROUBLE.

WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?

>> MY COLLEAGUE THE VETERAN EDUCATION REPORTER SARAH CARP BROKE THE STORY YESTERDAY AND WHAT YOU HAVE HERE IS C.P.S.

ALLEGING A LOT OF DIFFERENT FINANCIAL MISMANAGEMENT ON THE PART OF URBAN PREP.

THE HEAD OF URBAN PREP WAS ONCE CHICAGOAN OF THE YEAR AND ONCE LAUDED AS A HERO ON THE COVER OF "PEOPLE" MAGAZINE IN NATIONAL MEDIA.

AND IT'S BEEN A FEEL GOOD STORY AMONG THE CHARTER SCHOOL COMMUNITY.

BUT WHAT IT'S STARTING TO LOOK LIKE IS MORE ALONG THE LINES OF THE SCHOOLS IF YOU REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED THERE.

CONCEPT SCHOOLS THAT THE GOT INTO TROUBLE WITH FEDERAL AUTHORITIES IN THIS CASE IT'S C.P.S.

ITS SELF AND C.P.S.

IS INSPECTOR GENERAL WHO ARE LOOKING AT SOME OF THE WAYS THAT URBAN PREP HAS TRIED TO MANAGE THIS SITUATION PREDATORY LOANS, BORROWING ON CREDIT CARDS.

GETTING AN ADVANCE FROM C.P.S.

AND AT ONE POINT, SPECIAL ED SERVICES WERE NOT BEING PROVIDED THROUGH URBAN PREP TO THE KIDS WHO NEEDED IT.

>> A LOT THE INSPECTOR GENERAL IS LOOKING INTO IT.

AND I REMEMBER WHEN RAHM EMANUEL WOULD PUT THE FORMER PRINCIPAL ON A PEDESTAL AND TOUT THE SUCCESS OF THAT SCHOOL.

WE ARE OUT OF TIME.

OUR THANKS TO CRAIG DELLIMORE, AMANDA VINICKY, JEREMY GORNER AND DAN MIHALOPOULOS.

AND THAT IS OUR SHOW FOR THIS FRIDAY NIGHT.

FOR "THE WEEK IN REVIEW" I'M PARIS SCHUTZ.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR WATCHING.

STAY HEALTHY AND SAFE AND HAVE A WONDERFUL FOURTH OF JULY WEEKEND.
