US ON CHICAGO TONIGHT.

I'M BRANDIS FRIEDMAN.

HERE'S WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT.

HER FIRST RALLY SINCE ANNOUNCING HER BID FOR PRESIDENT.

THAT AND MORE IN TONIGHT'S SPOTLIGHT.

POLITICS.

AND ONE ON ONE WITH.

WAIT, WAIT, DON'T TELL ME.

PETER SABLE AHEAD OF HIS ONE NIGHT ONLY EVENT.

AND NOW TO SOME OF TODAY'S TOP STORIES.

THE HEAD OF THE U.S. SECRET SERVICE IS STEPPING DOWN.

DIRECTOR KIMBERLY CHEATLE'S RESIGNATION COMES A DAY AFTER A CONTENTIOUS HEARING ON CAPITOL HILL AND AMID BIPARTISAN BAR PARTISAN CALLS FOR HER TO STEP DOWN IN THE WAKE OF THE ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT OF DONALD TRUMP, THE AGENCY IS FACING CRITICISM OVER HOW THE SHOOTER WAS ABLE TO GET ACCESS TO THE ROOFTOP AND WHY THE THREAT OF A SHOOTER WASN'T COMMUNICATED SOONER.

THE MOVE COMES AS THE AGENCY IS TASKED WITH SECURITY FOR THE UPCOMING DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION IN CHICAGO.

THE CITY OF CHICAGO IS EXPANDING ITS LAWSUIT AGAINST GUNMAKER GLOCK INCORPORATED.

CITY ATTORNEYS FILED THEIR COMPLAINT IN COOK COUNTY COURT YESTERDAY, ADDING THE AUSTRIAN BASED PARENT COMPANY OF GLOCK INCORPORATED ALONG WITH LEGAL SPORTS RANGE IN OAK FOREST AND MIDWEST SPORTING GOODS IN LIONS TO THE LIST OF DEFENDANTS, THE CITY OF CHICAGO CLAIMS THE WEAPON ENDANGERS THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF RESIDENTS BY MAKING AND SELLING GUNS THAT CAN EASILY BE CONVERTED INTO FULLY AUTOMATIC WEAPONS WITH A CHEAP SMALL DEVICE, COMMONLY KNOWN AS A GLOCK SWITCH.

THE CITY CLAIMS THE 2 DEALERS NAMED IN THE SUIT ARE MAJOR SUPPLIERS OF GUNS RECOVERED IN CHICAGO CRIMES.

NEARLY 200 FORMER JUVENILE DETAINEES SAY THEY WERE SEXUALLY ABUSED INSIDE COOK COUNTY DETENTION CENTER IN A LAWSUIT FILED THIS WEEK, THE PLAINTIFFS ALLEGE THEY WERE SEXUALLY ABUSED BY ADULT STAFF MEMBERS AND THREATENED TO REMAIN SILENT.

THE LAWSUIT GOES ON TO SAY THE ALLEGED ABUSE OF THE FACILITY HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE THE MID 90'S.

ADULTS AT THE DETENTION CENTER DIDN'T CARE ABOUT LIQUID LIKE ME.

3 STAFF MEMBERS TOOK ADVANTAGE OF MY CONFUSION AND SEXUALLY ABUSE ME.

IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT I LIKE TO TALK ABOUT.

EVEN THINK ABOUT.

I DO WHAT I HAD TO DO TO SURVIVE.

AND THERE.

BUT THE FACT THAT THOSE STAFF MEMBERS FOR ME TO DO STILL GIVE ME NIGHTMARES.

TO THOSE WHO WENT THROUGH WHAT I DID.

I WANT TO TELL YOU TO STAY STRONG FOR THOSE PEOPLE AROUND WHO CARE ABOUT YOU.

I WILL FIGHT FOR YOU ALONG.

LET OUR PAST DICTATE THE REST OF YOUR LIVES AND WE MAKE SURE THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN TO ANYONE ELSE.

AGAIN.

IN THE COMPLAINT, PLAINTIFFS SAY THEY WERE GIVEN FOOD CIGARETTES, MORE DESIRABLE CHORES OR IN ONE CASE, EVEN MARIJUANA AND ALCOHOL IN EXCHANGE FOR FAVORS OR FOR KEEPING QUIET ABOUT THE ABUSE.

WE REACHED OUT TO THE OFFICES OF THE COOK COUNTY CHIEF JUDGE AND THE COOK COUNTY BOARD PRESIDENT.

BUT THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT COMMENT ON PENDING LITIGATION NEIGHBORS AROUND THE UNITED CENTER COULD BE SEEING A LOT OF ACTIVITY.

AND IT'S NOT JUST BECAUSE OF THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION IN A FEW WEEKS.

THE REINSDORF AND WORKS FAMILIES WHICH CO-OWNED THE ARENA ARE PLANNING A 7 BILLION DOLLAR REDEVELOPMENT OF THE SPACE AROUND THE UNITED CENTER.

THEY'RE CALLING IT THE 19 0, 1, PROJECT.

A MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT THAT INCLUDES HOUSING RETAIL, ENTERTAINMENT AND PUBLIC OPEN SPACE ON THE 55 ACRES OF PRIVATELY OWNED LAND SURROUNDING THE ARENA.

THE FIRST PHASE OF THE PROJECT AIMS TO START CONSTRUCTION IN THE SPRING OF 2025.

ON WHAT IS CURRENTLY SURFACE PARKING LOTS.

UP NEXT, OUR SPOTLIGHT POLITICS TEAM ON WHAT TO EXPECT AT THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION RIGHT AFTER THIS.

CHICAGO TONIGHT IS MADE POSSIBLE IN PART BY THE ALEXANDER AND JOHN NICHOLS FAMILY.

THE GYM AND CAME MAYBE FAMILY.

THE POPE BROTHERS FOUNDATION.

AND THE SUPPORT OF THESE KAMALA HARRIS KICKS OFF HER PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN IN THE BATTLEGROUND STATE OF WISCONSIN.

MEANWHILE, HER ENDORSEMENTS KEEP ROLLING IN FROM ILLINOIS.

POLITICIANS AND ACROSS THE NATION AND CITY COUNCIL GROWS CONCERNED AFTER TEXAS GOVERNOR GREG ABBOTT'S PROMISE IS AT THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION TO KEEP SENDING MIGRANTS NORTH HERE WITH ALL THAT AND MORE IS OUR SPOTLIGHT POLITICS TEAM HEADER, SHARON AND NICK BLUMBERG.

AMANDA VICKY'S OFF TONIGHT.

BUT WE'VE GOT YOU TO HEAR AND WE'RE GOING TO START OFF BY LISTENING TO SOMETHING THE GOVERNOR GREG ABBOTT SAID LAST WEEK AT THE RNC THAT ALARM CHICAGO OFFICIALS.

I BEGAN WASHINGTON, D.C.

CONTINUED BY SAYING MY LIST.

SANCTUARY CITIES ACROSS THE ENTIRE COUNTRY.

AND THOSE BUSES WILL CONTINUE TO ROLL UNTIL FINALLY SECURE OUR BORDER.

BUSES WILL CONTINUE TO ROLL.

HEATHER CITY OFFICIALS WORRIED ABOUT THE PROSPECT OF A NEW WAVE OF MIGRANTS BEING SENT TO CHICAGO JUST IN TIME FOR THE CONVENTION.

SO FOR MORE THAN A YEAR, CITY OFFICIALS HAVE BEEN WARNING THAT TEXAS GOVERNOR GREG ABBOTT WAS GOING TO CAPITALIZE ON THE CITY'S SPOTLIGHT DURING THE REPUBLICAN AT HER DURING THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION.

AND THEY SAY THAT THAT RENEWED PROMISE MADE THEM SOUND THE A ALARM INTERNALLY AND THEY ARE HYPER PREPARED TO COPE WITH ANY RENEWED SURGE OF MIGRANTS.

CHICAGO, ALTHOUGH THE THERE ARE FEWER MIGRANTS IN CHICAGO SHELTERS REALLY THAN AT ANY TIME SINCE THE CRISIS BEGAN, THIS SORT OF FEAR, SHORTS OR CONTINUE THE DISCUSSION TODAY ABOUT WHETHER THE CITY SHOULD BE A VICTIM MIGRANTS AFTER 60 DAYS IN CITY SHELTERS, THEY SAY, LOOK, YES, WE HAVE 5,000 EMPTY BEDS.

SO THAT MIGHT NOT SEEM TO MAKE SENSE THAT WORD VICTIM PEOPLE.

BUT WE'VE GOT TO KEEP THAT CAPACITY IN CASE WE DO SEE A BIG SURGE AT THE PEAK OF THE CRISIS.

2000 PEOPLE PER WEEK WERE MAKING THEIR WAY TO CHICAGO FROM THE SOUTHERN BORDER.

THAT WOULD BE VERY HARD FOR THE CITY A SURGE HAS BEEN SOMETHING THAT THE CITY HAS BEEN CONCERNED ABOUT FOR SOME TIME HAD OR A HOWARD TO HOUSE THE CITY PREPARING FOR THE POSSIBILITY?

WELL, STATE CITY AND COUNTY OFFICIALS SAY THEY ARE ALL ON THE SAME PAGE AND THEY ARE PREPARED TO EXPAND THAT SHELTER CAPACITY TO MORE THAN 15,000 BEDS, WHICH WAS WHAT WAS OPERATING AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR.

SO THAT IS VERY DIFFERENT THAN SORT OF WHAT'S HAPPENING NOW WHEN THERE ARE FEWER THAN 5700 MIGRANTS IN CITY SHELTERS.

BUT THAT IS GOING TO COST A LOT OF MONEY.

AND IT IS NOT CLEAR IF THAT SURGE HAPPENS AND THEY RAMP BACK UP TO THAT 15,000 CAPACITY, WHETHER THE CITY WILL HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO MAKE IT TO THE END OF THE YEAR.

THEY'RE KNOW IF YOU NOTICE IT'S BEEN VERY CONTROVERSIAL TO GET ADDITIONAL MONEY FROM CHICAGO TAXPAYERS 2 TO FUND THIS CARE.

IT HAS OKAY.

SO SHIFTING A LITTLE BIT TO NATIONAL KAMALA HARRIS KICKING OFF HER PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN IN MILWAUKEE TODAY.

SO FAR IT LOOKS LIKE ILLINOIS DEMOCRATIC POLITICIANS ARE ALL ON BOARD.

NICK, ARE THERE ANY STATE DEMOCRATS WERE HOLDING BACK?

THERE'S NOT REALLY ANY MAJOR FIGURES WHO ARE WAITING TO HEAR FROM.

YOU KNOW, WE'VE HEARD FROM THE ENTIRE ILLINOIS CONGRESSIONAL DELEGATION.

WE'VE HEARD FROM THE LEADERS OF THE ILLINOIS HOUSE AND SENATE.

WE'VE HEARD FROM STATEWIDE ELECTED OFFICIALS LIKE ATTORNEY GENERAL KWAME RAOUL.

YOU KNOW, I THINK THAT THE BIG ONE THAT MAYBE WE HAVEN'T HEARD FROM IF WE STILL ARE CONSIDERING HIM, AN ILLINOIS POLITICIAN IS FORMER PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA WHO CAME OUT WITH THE STATEMENT OF PRAISE FOR PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN'S DECISION TO STEP ASIDE FROM THE RACE.

BUT WHO HAS YET TO COME OUT AND YOU KNOW, VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS, THERE'S A FAIR AMOUNT SPECULATION FROM POLITICAL WATCHERS THAT THE IDEA HERE IS WELL, IF HE WAITS A COUPLE DAYS TO COME OUT AND ENDORSE, THAT CREATES ANOTHER POSITIVE NEWS CYCLE FOR THE NOW, HARRIS, FOR PRESIDENT CAMPAIGN.

BUT CERTAINLY, YOU KNOW, GOVERNOR JB PRITZKER, WE'VE HEARD FROM HE DIDN'T ENDORSE UNTIL MONDAY.

AND THEN WHEN HE MADE THE CALL, THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY OF ILLINOIS ALSO GOT ON BOARD AND CAME OUT ENDORSING REALLY, WE HAVE SEEN A BROAD BASE OF SUPPORT FOR SINCE SHE WAS ENDORSED BY BIDEN AS HIS SUCCESSOR IN THIS RACE.

IT TOOK ABOUT 30 HOURS FOR HER TO CONSOLIDATE ENOUGH DELEGATES TO WIN THE NOMINATION IN WHAT IS LIKELY TO BE A VIRTUAL ROLL CALL IN THE FIRST WEEK OF AUGUST.

SO BEFORE THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION START, I ALSO THINK IT'S POSSIBLE THAT THE FORMER PRESIDENT IS WAITING FOR PRESIDENT BIDEN TO ADDRESS THE NATION TOMORROW AND SORT OF SAY HIS FAREWELL TO SORT OF ELECTORAL POLLOCK'S BEFORE WEIGHING IN.

YOU KNOW, THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF TENSION BETWEEN THE BIDEN CAMP AND THE OBAMA CAMP.

IMAGINE THE FORMER PRESIDENT DOESN'T WANT TO STEP ON ANY AND OF COURSE, A GOOD NICK.

YOU MENTIONED JB PRITZKER AND HIS ENDORSEMENT ON MONDAY, OF COURSE, HAS BEEN SOME REPORTING TODAY AS WELL.

HE SAYS THAT HE HAS NOT RECEIVED VETTING PACKET FROM KAMALA HARRIS'S TEAM JUST YET AS FAR AS THE SHORT LIST, THE VEEPSTAKES LIKE TO CALL IN OUR LINE OF WORK.

AND DEMOCRATS DID REAFFIRM LAST NIGHT THAT VIRTUAL ELIMINATION WILL BE BEFORE AUGUST 7TH.

AND THAT'S BECAUSE OF AN ISSUE ON THE OHIO BALLOT.

DOES THAT CLOSE THE DOOR TO ANY CHANCE OF A OF AN OPEN NOMINATION AT THE CONVENTION UNLESS THERE IS SOMETHING THAT GETS COMPLETELY UPENDED AT THIS POINT, IT LOOKS LIKE IT IS GOING TO BE KAMALA HARRIS, WHO IS THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE FOR PRESIDENT.

THERE REALLY AREN'T ANY, YOU KNOW, IS SERIOUS PATHWAYS FORWARD UNLESS SOMETHING UNEXPECTED HAPPENS, ALTHOUGH CERTAINLY WE HAVE SEEN QUITE A BIT OF A PEOPLE IN THIS RACE JUST IN THE LAST FEW DAYS.

BUT, YOU KNOW, THE WAY THINGS HAVE BEEN YOU KNOW, KAMALA HARRIS MOVED VERY QUICKLY TO LOCK THINGS UP REPORTING WAS SHE SPENT ABOUT 10 HOURS ON THE PHONE ON SUNDAY ALONE MAKING CALLS, YOU KNOW, SHORING UP SUPPORT AND JUST ABOUT ANYBODY WHO WOULD BE A SERIOUS CHALLENGER TO HER IS PART OF THE VEEPSTAKES OR HAS ENDORSED HER.

SO, YOU KNOW, FOLKS ARE REALLY GETTING ON BOARD WITH THIS NOMINATION.

I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE SEE THIS AS THE CLEAREST AND CLEANEST PATH FORWARD TO PREVENT A DONALD TRUMP FROM RETURNING TO THE PRESIDENCY AND THEY WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY YOU KNOW, ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THIS FOR, YOU KNOW, FOR THEIR LEGACY AS A DEMOCRAT.

IMAGINE SOME OF THAT TIME ON THE PHONE WAS PROBABLY DIALING FOR DOLLARS BECAUSE SHE IS ALSO SET WHAT I BELIEVE TO BE A FUNDRAISING RECORD WITH A MASSIVE AMOUNT, SOMETHING.

WHAT IS 80 MILLION DOLLARS BEING RAISED ON SUNDAY AND GROWING?

YEAH.

AND I THINK A LOT OF THAT, TOO.

YOU KNOW, THERE WAS CONCERN FROM, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF THAT 80 MILLION DOLLARS WAS SMALL-DOLLAR.

YOU KNOW, IT'S GRASSROOTS.

THERE WAS ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT BIG MONEY DONORS THAT WE'RE BACKING OFF AND SAYING WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE OPENING UP OUR CHECKBOOKS.

WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE HOSTING THESE EVENTS BECAUSE THEY HAVE SUCH GRAVE CONCERNS ABOUT JOE BIDEN'S CANDIDACY.

NOW THAT THAT IS NO LONGER AN ISSUE, SEEMS THAT THE CASH SPIGOT HAS BEEN TURNED THE BUCS ARE FLOWING.

WE'VE ALSO SEEN REPORTING FROM THE HARRIS CAMPAIGN THAT SHE SIGNED UP 10'S OF THOUSANDS OF NEW VOLUNTEERS.

WE ALSO SAW A LITTLE BIT OF THAT RALLY FROM EARLIER TODAY IN WISCONSIN WHERE SHE WAS ENTHUSIASTICALLY GREETED BY THE CROWD AND PERHAPS WE SAW THE FIRST SIGNS OF A CAMPAIGN SLOGAN.

THOSE CROWDS SORT OF ON ITS OWN STARTED CHANTING.

WE'RE NOT GOING BACK, WHICH I THINK SORT OF ENCAPSULATES SORT OF WHAT SHE THINKS THE STAKES OF THIS ELECTION.

ARE IT ALSO DOVETAILS WITH WHAT I'M SURE IS GOING TO BE A ROBUST MESSAGE ABOUT ABORTION CARE AND REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS AS WELL AS SORT OF A FOCUS ON THE FUTURE OF DEMOCRACY.

AND MIRRORS SOME OF WHAT WE HEARD FROM PROTESTERS AT THE RNC, INCLUDING FOLKS WHO ARE IN TOWN FROM OUT OF CHICAGO, YOU KNOW, PUSHING BACK AGAINST SOME OF THE GOP IS POLICY POSITION.

WE'RE NOT GOING BACK WAS A PART OF THAT THEME.

SO I THINK THERE IS A VERY GOOD CHANCE WE HEAR HEAR THOSE WORDS QUITE A BIT YES, IT'S ACTUALLY HEADING TOWARDS THE CONVENTION.

YESTERDAY SECRET SERVICE DIRECTOR KIMBERLY GRILLED BY HOUSE LAWMAKERS ABOUT THAT JULY 13TH ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT ON DONALD TRUMP TODAY.

SHE RESIGNED AFTER RESISTING IT FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF NICK, DO YOU THINK THIS IS RAISING CONCERNS ABOUT SECURITY FOR THE DNC NEXT MONTH?

WE'VE ALREADY HEARD A LOT SINCE YOU KNOW, ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT ON, YOU KNOW, DONALD TRUMP THAT THEY WERE REEVALUATING ALL OF THEIR SECURITY PROCEDURES FOR THE DNC.

WE'VE HEARD FROM, YOU KNOW, THE CPD ABOUT WHAT THEY'RE PLANNING TO DO, THAT THEY'VE BEEN TAKING ANOTHER LOOK AT THIS THAT THEY WILL HAVE OUTSIDE SUPPORT FROM A POLICE OFFICER'S MOTHER JURISDICTIONS WHO ARE GOING TO BE HERE.

CERTAINLY THIS IS A HUGE CONCERN FOR DNC ORGANIZERS FOR ALL THE LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES INVOLVED.

BUT THEY DID, YOU KNOW, MAKE A PRETTY PROACTIVE EFFORT TO GET OUT FRONT AND SAY WE'RE TAKING THIS SERIOUSLY.

THIS IS SOMETHING WE'RE LOOKING CLOSELY AT.

ITS ALSO VERY DIFFERENT.

YOU KNOW, A CAMPAIGN RALLY VERSUS A POLITICAL CONVENTION.

WE'RE GOING TO HAVE 10'S 10'S AND TENS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ATTENDING, YOU KNOW, AND IN THE AREA AS WELL.

SO CERTAINLY WAS GOING TO GET A TON OF ATTENTION ALREADY.

SO GETTING A LITTLE BIT CLOSER TO HOME WHILE STAYING AT HOME, OBVIOUSLY BECAUSE CHICAGO IS MAKING HEADLINES AGAIN WITH THIS HISTORIC LAWSUIT AGAINST A GUN MANUFACTURER GLOCK.

HEATHER, YOUR REPORTING ON THIS TODAY.

THE CITY EXPANDED ITS LAWSUIT JUST YESTERDAY.

WHY OR ARE THE 3 ARE GETTING ADDED?

WELL, IT'S THE PARENT COMPANY OF BLOCK, WHICH IS AN AUSTRIAN FIRM AS WELL AS 2 SUPERB IN GUN SHOPS, WHICH THE CITY SAYS ARE THE MOST IRRESPONSIBLE GUN SHOPS IN THE NATION AND THAT THEY SAY THE CITY CAN TRACE A NUMBER OF GUNS USED IN CRIMES IN CHICAGO TO THESE GUNSHOTS.

AND THEY BOTH SORT OF CELL BLOCKS AND THEY SELL SORT OF WHAT'S CALLED THE GLOCKS YEAR.

THAT TURNS IT INTO ESSENTIALLY HOMEMADE AUTOMATIC WEAPON.

NOW, THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT TEST OF THE 2023 LAW SIGNED BY GOVERNOR JB PRITZKER IN THE WAKE OF HIGHLAND PARK 4TH OF JULY MASSACRE.

AND THIS IS REALLY DESIGNED TO GIVE STATE OFFICIALS A WAY OF HOLDING GUN MANUFACTURERS ACCOUNTABLE WHICH IS A DICEY PART OF FEDERAL LAW.

AND WHAT'S THE ISSUE HERE IS THAT ORIGINAL LAWSUIT FILED IN MARCH GOT MOVED TO FEDERAL COURT WHERE THE CITY IS GOING TO HAVE A MUCH HARDER TIME MAKING THIS CASE BECAUSE FEDERAL LAW PROTECTS GUN MANUFACTURERS IN MOST CASES.

LAWSUIT REFILED IN COOK COUNTY.

THAT'S WHERE THE CITY WANTS THIS LAWSUIT TO BE.

THAT'S WHY THE GUN SHOPS WERE ALLOWED WERE ADDED TO THIS LAWSUIT.

IN PART.

SO WE'LL HAVE TO SEE IF THIS ATTEMPT THERES A LITTLE BIT BETTER THAN THE LAST ATTEMPT TO STAY OUT OF THE FEDERAL COURTS.

INTERESTING TO WATCH A CASE BODY CAMERA FOOTAGE OF A FATAL POLICE SHOOTING IN THE FOOTAGE WAS RELEASED YESTERDAY.

THE SPRINGFIELD RESIDENT IS SONYA MASSEY.

36 YEAR-OLD DOES DOES THE FOOTAGE THAT WE SAW THAT BODY-CAM FOOTAGE SHED MORE LIGHT ON THIS TRAGEDY?

AND WHAT MORE DO WE KNOW?

YEAH, I MEAN, IT CERTAINLY GIVES MUCH MORE CLEAR DETAILS ABOUT, YOU KNOW, HER LAST MINUTE, SIR, YOU KNOW, SEEING THE THE OFFICERS ENTER HER HOME.

SHE'S CLEARLY IN SORT OF A CONFUSED STATE MAKING COMMENTS THAT DON'T NECESSARILY, YOU KNOW, MAKE A GREAT DEAL OF SENSE.

YOU KNOW, YOU CAN SEE HER IN THE KITCHEN.

YOU KNOW, THERE'S A POT OF WATER SHE WAS REACHING FOR.

BUT IT DOES MAKE VERY CLEAR JUST HOW QUICKLY THIS ESCALATED.

BUT CERTAINLY, YOU KNOW, IN IN THE RESPONSE TO THIS, UNFORTUNATELY, ANOTHER SHOOTING WHERE A BLACK PERSON HAS LOST THEIR LIFE TO A POLICE OFFICER.

I THINK YOU'VE SEEN THE RESPONSE FROM PEOPLE IN POSITIONS OF POWER VERY CLEARLY TRYING TO REACT, YOU KNOW, NOT MAKE A RUSH TO A DECISION BUT NOT TO DRAG THEIR FEET BECAUSE I THINK UNFORTUNATELY, WE HAVE SEEN MANY TIMES BEFORE THAT THESE SORTS OF THINGS GET SWEPT UNDER THE RUG.

THEY ACTED VERY QUICKLY TO, YOU KNOW, MAKE SURE THERE WAS AN INDICTMENT.

THERE WAS THE RELEASE OF FOOTAGE.

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT IS OBVIOUSLY IN THE HANDS OF THE COURTS COURSE.

AND WE'RE GOING TO HAVE MORE ON THIS TOMORROW.

IN A BLACK VOICES AS WELL.

BUT FOR NOW, MY THANKS, SIR.

SPOTLIGHT TEAM HUNDREDS ROENICKE LUMBER.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

UP NEXT, THE HOST OF WAIT.

WAIT.

DON'T TELL PETER SEGAL.

KEEPING UP WITH THE NEWS OF THE DAY CAN BE TOUGH.

BUT FOR 26 YEARS, PETER SALE HAS BEEN MAKING IT FUN FOR AUDIENCES ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

AS HOST OF NPR'S WEEKLY RADIO SHOW.

WAIT, WAIT.

DON'T TELL ME.

THIS WEEK HE'S OFFERING FANS A LOOK BEHIND THE CURTAIN SHARING TAKEAWAYS FROM HIS MEMORABLE JOURNEY.

THE PLACE A LITTLE BIT OF REDECORATING.

WHAT HAPPENED?

ALL THE TRASH TO CHICAGO SOME PEOPLE ARE VERY SAD ABOUT THE CHILD OK, WELL, I'LL TELL YOU ABOUT AND SCHOOL I MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE A COUPLE OF THEM IN MY LET'S TALK ABOUT YOU.

YES, PLEASE.

HOW DID HAD TO WAIT?

WAIT, DON'T TELL ME.

COME TO BE IN FRONT OF A LIVE STUDIO AUDIENCE.

CAME TO BE IN FRONT OF A LIVE STUDIO BECAUSE IT WAS SUCH A STUPID THING NOT TO DO IT IN FRONT A LIVE STUDIO AUDIENCE THAT EVEN WE EVENTUALLY FIGURE THAT SHOWS LAUNCHED.

AS YOU SAID, 26 YEARS AGO, WHICH IS INCREDIBLE.

I LOOKED PRETTY MUCH THE SAME AS THEY DO NOW IN WBZ IN THEIR STUDIOS.

AND THE NOTION WAS, YOU KNOW, WE DO IT AND REMOTELY THIS WAS SORT OF IF YOU WILL.

AND THE IDEA WAS, I WOULD BE AS THE HOST IN CHICAGO OR PANELS, PAULA POUNDSTONE IN LOS ANGELES AT INFO NEW YORK.

ROY BLOUNT JUNIOR, WHEREVER YOU WANT.

HERE'S THE THING.

IF YOU HAVE PEOPLE IN FRONT OF YOU LIKE AUDIENCE MEMBERS JUST.

AND YOU SAY SOMETHING FUNNY.

THEY MIGHT LAUGH.

AND IF THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO MIGHT LAUGH, THEN THE COMEDIAN'S MYSELF MIGHT ACTUALLY TRY HARDER TO BE FUNNY.

IT'S AN INCENTIVE SYSTEM.

SO EVENTUALLY WE FIGURE THAT OUT AND STARTED DOING IT LIVE EVERY WEEK, STARTING BELIEVE IN EARLY 2005 AND I GOT TO TELL YOU, WHEN WE HAD TO GO BACK DURING THE ZOOM, IT WAS TERRIBLE.

IT WAS LIKE HAVING 2 MOVE BACK INTO YOUR CHILDHOOD HOME AFTER LIFETIMES THINKING YOU'RE GETTING AWAY AND IT STILL WAS KIND OF, YOU KNOW, I DIDN'T I DIDN'T WANT THE POWER RANGERS POSTERS ANYMORE GOING BEYOND THAT.

WELL, WE I THINK WE ALL MOVED MOVED ON.

BUT AS WE ALL GREW INTO DIFFERENT PEOPLE.

SO LISTEN TO THE SHOW, OBVIOUSLY.

EVERYONE IS QUICK AND FUNNY AND WITTY AND YOU REALLY HAVE TO KIND OF BE ON YOUR TOES KEEP UP WITH YOUR TITLE EVERY JOKE.

YES.

DO YOU MEAN OBVIOUSLY YOU PREPARE FOR THE SHOW ALL WEEK JUST AS EVERYBODY DOES, BUT HOW OFTEN, YOU KNOW, GET LIVE RADIO.

YOU'VE GOT FUNNY PEOPLE OVER HERE AND YOU'VE GOT PANNELL IS CALLING IT AND YOU JUST KIND OF ABANDONED SCRIPT ALL THE TIME.

ABSOLUTELY.

ALL THE TIME RECOMMENDED BECAUSE YOU'VE GOT, YOU KNOW, YOU SO MY MY MY COLLEAGUES AND I WITH WHOM I WORK, WE PREPARE A SCRIPT RESEARCH STORIES AND FIND SO YOUR STORIES IN THE NEWS.

WE THINK ABOUT THEM TO MAKE JOKES ABOUT THEM.

WE TRY THEM OUT VERY LATEST 5.

AND SO WHEN I GO IN FRONT OF THE WHENEVER THANK GOT TO LIKE, RIGHT.

MEAN, I WAS ABOUT TO SAY I AM TERRIBLE ON LIVE TV.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE.

GOD KNOWS WHAT IS GOING TO COME OUT OF THE SOUTH WITH THE POINT OF THE STORIES THAT WILL BE TAPER SHOWS GOT THAT SCRIPT.

BUT YOU'RE RIGHT.

WE'VE GOT THESE PANELISTS.

THEY'RE NOT.

THAT'S NOTS.

AND SO THERE EVEN IS LIKE, YOU KNOW, IT'S LIKE DRIES, LIKE PREPARING ON A ROAD TRIP AND YOU'VE MAPPED OUT THE DESTINATION AND THEN YOU DECIDE TO SHARE THE WHEEL WITH FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE NO IDEA WHERE YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE GOING AND THEY'RE NOT LOOKING AT THE MAP.

NO, THEY'RE NOT.

AND SO THEY ALL OF A SUDDEN GO LEFT SAYING INTO A DITCH WHICH IS MORE LIKELY THAN GOING RIGHT.

THIS IS NPR.

CHANCES ARE I'M MY JOB IS JUST TO GO WITH THEM BECAUSE POTENTIAL OUT OF THE CAR AND THAT THAT WAS REALLY AN EXTENDED METAPHOR, WASN'T IT?

IT WAS OKAY.

IF IT DOESN'T, WE CAN JUST EDITED OUT IN POST, RIGHT?

EXACTLY.

AND THEN THE PEOPLE WHO WILL NEVER SEE IT AND TAKE WILL NEVER KNOW ABOUT IT.

BUT THE POINT OF THE STORY IS YES.

AND I THINK PART OF OUR SHOWS APPEAL IN AN ERA WHERE A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE DOING WHAT WE'RE DOING REALLY, REALLY WELL LIKE JOHN OLIVER AND STEPHEN COLBERT AND THE LATE NIGHT HOST.

ALL THESE PEOPLE WHO ARE LIKE DOING AMAZINGLY WONDERFULLY PRODUCED SHARP COMEDY AND SATIRE.

WE'RE JUST KIND OF MAKING IT UP AS WE GO ALONG ULTIMATELY.

AND AND THAT HAS SOME APPEAL AS LONG AS YOU CAN EDIT OF THE DUMB STUFF, WHICH IS WHAT WE DON'T DO A LOT THAT SHOWS A NEWS FEWER AND FEWER PEOPLE ARE CONSUMING NEWS.

WE OUGHT TO KNOW BUT WHERE WE'RE WORKING ON THAT, HOW DO YOU KEEP THE NEWS FUN?

INTERESTING IN THIS DAY AND AGE OF.

WELL, I SEE IT FAKE NEWS.

I KNOW.

WELL, WE CAUGHT WE KIND OF HAVE A NEW WE KIND OF IGNORE FOR THE MOST PART, ALL THE MAJOR NEWS, THE DEPRESSING STUFF, THE SERIOUS STUFF AND JUST DO THE FRONT PRETTY WHAT WE COVER FOR ARTS AND YOU ELIMINATIONS PROCESS OF EXTRA TORY.

THINK IT'S A VERY WELL, NO, I WE NUMBER THAT YES, BASICALLY ANY BODILY FLUID.

THAT'S IT'S GETTING A LITTLE GROSS.

KNOW WHAT PEOPLE LIKE ABOUT US IS AND TO BE SERIOUS FOR A MINUTE IS IS WHERE THE NEWS THAT WON'T DEPRESS.

YOU WERE THE NEWS THAT WILL AMUSE YOU.

WE ARE THE NEWS THAT MIGHT, YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW.

MAKE YOU WONDER ABOUT THE VAST BREATH OF THE HUMAN EXPERIENCE.

AND WHEN WE DO TALK ABOUT THE SERIOUS NEWS, WHICH WE DO, I MEAN, WE'LL BE TALKING, FOR EXAMPLE, ON THIS WEEK'S SHOW ABOUT THE PARENT DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE KAMALA WHEN WE DO TALK ABOUT THINGS LIKE THAT, WHAT OUR MOTTO IS, WE SAY THE THINGS ON THE RADIO THAT MOST PEOPLE ARE REDUCED TO SHOUTING THE RADIO.

SO IF YOU'RE WONDERFUL REPORTERS, FOR EXAMPLE, YOU JUST HAD ON THE SHOW, PROBABLY THINK THINGS BUT CANNOT SAY THINGS BECAUSE THEY'RE SERIOUS REPORTERS.

WE ARE YOU CAN THEY AND I THINK THAT'S PART OF THE APPEAL AS WELL.

THAT WERE SORT OF THE LEAST ID LOOKS LIKE LIKE AN ANGRY TRANSIT.

NO, AND WE WOULD WAY.

IN FACT, I'M THINKING LIKE OF MOVIE INSIDE OUT RIGHT NOW WITH THE HELP WHICH I, THE WAY, I WAS IN A CAMEO IN THE BUT IF YOU THINK LIKE IF IF NPR THE BRAIN AND I WAS LIKE, IT'S ANGER.

IT WOULD LOOK LIKE ME, DON'T YOU THINK KIND OF GET IT KIND PR ZANGERLE INVOLVED.

THAT'S BASICALLY THAT THE TOTAL GET TRACKS THAT, YEAH, I GET IT.

SO YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE BEEN SOME CONVERSATIONS A CONVERSATION IN PARTICULAR IN CHICAGO THIS WEEK.

YOU'VE GOT A FEW OTHERS AROUND.

I'VE BEEN I'VE BEEN GOING AROUND THE COUNTRY.

IT COULD BE AFTER AT THE TIME I THOUGHT OF THIS.

25 YEARS A QUARTER CENTURY OF DOING THIS JOB, WHICH BY THE WAY, I NEVER EXPECTED TO DO BE CAREFUL.

YOU MAY NEVER LEAVE THAT CHAIR.

I DISCOVERED THAT I'VE WATCHING THE WORLD TO THIS VERY STRANGE LANDS AND I MIGHT HAVE PICKED UP SOME STUFF ALONG THE WAY BECAUSE I'VE GOT PERSPECTIVE, RIGHT.

SO I'M TRYING TO USE THAT PERSPECTIVE AND COMING UP WITH SORT OF FOR LACK OF A BETTER WORD, WORDS OF WISDOM OR AT USING OBSERVATION ABOUT EVERYTHING THAT I'VE SEEN.

AND I HAVE TERRIFYINGLY SEEN A LOT.

WE STARTED WITH THE BILL CLINTON'S WHISKEY SCANDAL NEED TO WE NEED A BETTER NAME FOR THAT.

IT REALLY WASN'T HER FAULT, IT WASN'T AT FAULT.

BUT THAT SCANDAL, THAT'S WHEN WE STARTED.

AND, YOU KNOW, THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO HAVE WHO WERE BORN AFTER THAT, WHO ARE ADULTS AND DRINKING ADULT BEVERAGES AND PAYING RENT.

I MEAN, WE'VE BEEN HERE FOR A WHILE.

DON'T KNOW WHO THOSE CHILDREN ARE.

YOU KNOW?

YEAH, OKAY.

WE CAN COME BACK TO SO WEAK YOU.

TALKED ABOUT THIS A LITTLE BIT HOSTING THE SHOW SINCE IT WAS CREATED.

26 YEARS AGO YOU WEREN'T QUITE SURE OR NOT, WE'RE QUITE SURE.

BUT DID YOU EVER SUSPECT IT WOULD LAST THIS LONG?

NEVER FOR A MINUTE.

I HAD A LOT OF WHEN I WAS A YOUNG PERSON IS AND PEOPLE TEND TO DO A PLAYWRIGHT AND SCREENWRITER SITES IMAGINING IT WOULD BE THE FIRST PERSON TO WIN, NOT JUST THE OSCAR EMMY, TONY AND GRAMMY, BUT ALSO A NOBEL.

I'D BE THE TO BE THE NEED.

GOT RIGHT?

THAT WAS AMBITION.

WHEN I WAS A OR EVEN OLDER THAN A KID.

AND WHEN THIS WONDERFUL JOB AT NPR, WHICH I KNOW IS LOVED AND HERE WAS A FOR MANY, MANY YEARS CAME UP.

I SEE MOST OF NICE LITTLE STOP AND THEN CONTINUE TO MOVE ON.

GET TO ONE OF THOSE LETTERS AND INSTEAD HERE, WHICH SOMETIMES IS A LITTLE STRANGE AND SURPRISING.

BUT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT'S BEEN GRATIFYING OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS IS BECAUSE WE DOING IT SO LONG.

THOSE YOUNG PEOPLE WHO I MENTIONED, THEY GREW UP WITH US.

I'VE BEEN A PART OF THEIR LIVES, WHICH IS FLATTERING.

SOMETIMES BEEN A PART OF FAMILY RELATIONSHIPS.

A LOT OF WOMEN IN THEIR 20'S BRING THEIR DAD WHO'S IN THEIR 60'S.

AND HE SAYS, WELL, WE STILL LISTEN TO THIS ONE.

WE WANT TO SOCCER PRACTICE.

IT WAS A BONDING THING.

AND NOW I'M TAKING HIM HERE AND THAT'S FABULOUS.

SO I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD EVER BE A PUBLIC RADIO INSTITUTION.

YET.

THAT'S WHAT THE DOOR.

THAT'S WHAT IT I ADDRESSED OR PUBLIC LIKE PUBLIC MONEY WAS USED DURING PUBLIC RADIO INSTITUTION RADIO INSTITUTION, EVERYBODY.
