names. racist, homophobic, sexist and you asked your democratic opponent to apologize. that's not been forthcoming. >> we have been asked about it pat quinn needs to apologize. remarks were off -- shouldn't have took place and needs to apologize. deserves a campaign better than that. we will talk about jobs and how we will fight against pat quinn's tax increases and make illinois proud again. >> okay. i want to switch to violence and ask you what your position is on guns and keeping in mind in chicago where every day literally we talk about someone who is murdered in a gun killing we need to enforce the laws on the books and protect the public safety. i'm running against the person

who released 1700 inmates early and promise to discondition the plan and then he released 2,000. we enforced laws and keep criminals behind bars and we can't afford to have a governor who released violence. >> aren't those who release it weren't they in for drug related crimes. >> many were violent offenders. domestic violence. violent offenses that shouldn't have been -- and governor quinn and then rereleased more in violation of the pledge to people of illinois not to do it. >> congratulate you on your endorsement by the "chicago tribune." >> they back you in the race. but it would wasn't without criticism. they said you didn't have a detailed plan how you were going to dig illinois out of this financial -- if you have a detailed plan could you tell us about it. governor quinn wants to raise

taxes 67%. we have to balance the budget. everyone in state government to cut 10 cents of state spending and prioritizing the remaining 90 cents. i need an audit. even governor quinn in last week's debate refused to answer a question how he spent 13% of the discretionary spending given to him. we need to see what the real facts are and the secret deals pat quinn has put in place. this is just a continuation of rod blagojevich, pat quinn's followed suit with his partner and we don't know the truth what's going on in state government. >> whittled down the deficit? >> we have a structural deficit we estimate about $5 billion. we spend about $57 billion. so yeah, families and businesses have had to make the tough choices to do that. but that's what we have to do. under pat quinn's plan we had human service agencies going out of business and firing people because he is overpromised and underdelivered. i believe if we balance our budget we deliver on what -- and people can expect it we can

make it work. >> are you describing the kind of belt tightening that former governor jim edgar put citizens of illinois through? it was uncomfortable but balanced the budget. >> look what happened. we created jobs. we had integrity in government. no question that we need to go back to the days of the jim edgar who had the fiscal discipline to be truthful. no secret deals. but blagojevich and quinn have continued down this path. quinn continued down the path with blagojevich and we need a governor who will rise above it. >> we have 15 seconds. one thing i read is that you had favored teaching of creationism in public schools. is that true? >> i believe local school districts should -- >> you wouldn't stand in the way if a local school board called for the? >> i would say they should do it as they see fit. >> a lot of challenges ahead to whom ever wins governor's office. >> thank you so much for having me. all right.

but have we got some changes on the way. there is a power house storm is that going to cover the whole central part of the country and central canada with -- it can only be described as mammoth. product of 220-mile-per-hour jet stream. that is coming off the pacific and going to rip into the atmosphere and set up all kind of vertical motions as we look at the partly sunny skies and another day of unseasonal september level temperatures here in the chicago area. we have weather bug cameras that show us the snow in some parts of the country. there will be snow in the upper mid west with us. but for us, diving temperatures later in the week but a howling wind with powerful thunderstorms late tonight. the potential for a squall line and severe weather and then nonthunderstorm winds that will rake the area up to 50-mile-per- hour or higher at times tomorrow, tomorrow night and into wednesday. we have a high wind watch out for the chicago area. a storm watch out where lake michigan and we have wild

weather on the way. i guess maybe we are about to pay for this unseasonal warm that we have seen around the area. we had 70s yesterday. it's already above 70 at kankakee. at de kalb, we in theca and joliet. note the winds just starting to pick up. but this is nothing. this is the calm before the storm. the winds will start to howl from the south tonight. and then we will shift westerlily tomorrow and really blow around the storm that could have a sample barometric pressure lower than the storm that produced the sinking back in 1975. equivalent to a category 3 hurricane. up on the canadian border. we may saturday record low pressure here in chicago. it's 70 at chicago's o'hare now with the southwest wind picking up. 67 at midway airport. 7. at kankakee and 67 at hammond. and some views out west this weather system that is bringing rains and clouds as you can see to las vegas. these are a couple of cameras

out there. look at the snow flurries coming down in livingston, montana. sticking snow in the upper mid west out of this storm for the first time this season. and here is the view from colorado springs. at the front range of the rockies being shrouded in clouds which are snowing at higher elevations as we come to you at this hour. we are in a little hole in the clouds and so we had a fair amount of sun. as you stand back and look at this gush of moisture and winds accompanying them that moisture. into the western u.s. and then ultimately the plains. gulf moisture running north and producing these clouds that may grow severe and march eastward on the squall line and see the jet stream. the area that had scatterd clouds -- that's one low pressure. up there with this little curl of winds up there. winds are at 220 miles per hour. that's going race across the pacific, plow into the eastern u.s. and then kind of wrap its

way into the mid west. that sets up a big low pressure and these are all wind advisories. high wind watches and storm warnings with winter storm warnings out in the rockies for this. this is a big deal. there is our high wind watch for the chicago area. so it's going to get windy and here is the jet stream. see what this thing does is the winds blow here and air exits air from below up. that drops barometric pressure rush in to fill in for the air that's stucked up into this jet stream and then with time it turns northwest and so this thing will start tugging some very cool air. coolest air of the season into our area. we have unseasonably warm air here. reason the jet stream is that strong is because cold air is next to warm air and the bigger the temperatures spread, the stronger the winds. the temperatures spread on this one is extreme so we expect temperatures to bop around quite a bit. crashing later this week only to warm up again from all indcations this weekend for the

halloween weekend. so how about ta? we are timing these warm spells perfectly. but we may have a severe weather outbreak and some wind to deal with for a couple days before this takes place. partly sunny. turning increasingly windy this afternoon. but the main event in terms of winds is tonight and even more so tomorrow. tomorrow night and wednesday. high 74. the winds will be coming in from the south, southwest 11 to 23 is as the afternoon goes on. tonight clouding over and turning windy with 40-mile-per- hour wind gusts from the south later on and thunderstorms toward morning. low temperatures tonight. 55. winds will be increasing southwest 14 to 32 that should be. not 400 and 32. that would really be a story there. and then tomorrow strong winds as strong early morning thunderstorms and high winds rest of the day, partly cloudy, windy, gusts to 50 miles per hour or more are possible. high 69. south, southwest winds 20 to

45. new barometer observers say this thank will go low. very cloudy and windy. still in the same system. this is what we call in meteorological profession long wind situation. this is a kind of thing tacauses tree damage and so forth. we will have more later on. we know it's coming. here is your trivia question. born on this day in 1881, pablo picasso's first period of artistic style? was it the rose period? the blue period or the cuebus period? the answer still ahead on the wgn news. i know the best card you're holding.

tore our next guest is a prominent theogen who is bringing his message to the masses with modern technology. father robert barren has been called the pod casting priest and now he hosts the show words on fire on wgn america. >> and father is joining right now. thank you for coming in. this is something new. tell us about it. >> goes back about ten years. i was doing sermons on wgn radio at 5:15 in the morning. then expanded to relevant radio and then started on tv not long ago and now going national. been slowly evolving process. >> this is new for catholicism? i know there are many telly evangelist from joyce meyer to joel. how does this set you apart.

>> one of my heroes for this ministry is fulton j sheen so catholics were the pioneers in use of radio and tv. then we dropped the ball and that always bothered me. i wanted to get the catholic voice out widely so we started a few years ago and we have been following that inspiration. >> father, i don't think i would be out of line that suggesting a thank a lot of folks are disillusioned because of the scandals in the u.s. and europe. are you going to address those issues? >> not directly on this show. i'm well aware of the problem. i have a ministry on youtube. we do commentaries so i hear comments every single day from people about the scandals 367 obviously we have problems. this is the worse problem in american catholic church hiss reesm church has to deal with it honestly and directly. at the same time i don't want the church to be reduced to the sex abuse scandal. we bear this great message of joy and salvation. obviously the church has to come to grips in the most honest way possible. >> are you satisfied with the way the church has dealt with

it. >> we made major institutional reforms. it's still an ongoing problem that has to be addressed. i think important steps, yes have been made. >> father, who exactly are you trying to reach? >> i think the first group i want to reach are fallen away catholics. if you gather all ex-catholics in america it would be the secondest largest denomination in america. twient reach them firls. those who have fall ain way from the faith burr i'm interested in the wider culture. everybody is hungry for god. that's a basic intuition of our tradition. everyone wired for god. i want to do programs that address this great spiritual longing and i want to reach them. a lot of my work is within the church but now this is a chance to go outside to a much wider audience and draw those people in. >> so that said, how -- allison touched on it how do you maintain relevance in a television -- crowded field. >> 250 channels in some places. >> i think two things. speak out of that great

mainstream of the catholic spiritual tradition which is spoken to some the best spirits of the age over 2,000 years. rely on the power of that. but also what i do on the youtube ministry is look at movies and music and popular culture and books and try to find implicit religious themes in those. very positive approach i use to find the implicit spirituality in much of the high end popular culture. >> so many people are turned off by organized religion and certainly catholicism will be near the top of the list of organized religion. the rules and the fear and the guilt. and what do you say to those people? >> i say anything that is beautiful and excellent we are willing to accept rules. think of a golf swing. think of all the rules involved in producing a beautiful golf swing. people are willing to accept that because they want to hit the golf ball well and in a similar way a spiritual journey is a beautiful thing. it's surrounded by all kinds of recommendations and rules and so on. you don't start with the rules.

we start with the joy. you start with the beauty of the golf swing or the beauty then if you want that here are certain disciplines that you have no access. begin with the yes and know that the church says no is always a no to another no. therefore it's a yes. and so -- >> important analogy. thank you very much. >> thank you. good luck with your broadcast. word on fire with father robert barren is seen on wgn america sundays at 9:30 a.m. that's eastern time and in chicago. lunch break is next. >> we were making an tillian classic. to keep in balance after 50, i switched to a complete multivitamin with more. only one a day women's 50+ advantage has gingko for memory and concentration plus support for bone and breast health. a great addition to my routine.
