peter: why did you choose "the dragon" from chicago?ela: it was a nickname herman goering gave her. he was part of an attempt to trap foreign correspondents to give them information that would make them look like they were spy. in fact, one day a gentleman she didn't know delivered a package to the apartment she shared with her mother. and her mother, as soon as he was gone, her mother called and said you should look at this. she went home, sure it was going to be a trap. it was full of what looked like flarns airplane engines. she suspected she wouldn't have much time and if she was caught with them in her possession he would be arrested. so she shredded them by hand she put them in the fireplace. stayed until they were burned down to ash. she headed back to the office and sure enough the -- a man who she had long suspected of trying to entrap journalists was headed toward her apartment, accompanied by what schultz described as two shady characters. she stopped them on the street and said don't even bother. i destroyed it. there's noth

i would argue that chicago, led by both organizations and the chicago teachers union was one of the most robust, at least in a short-term, successful pushing back against many of the educational policies that were prevalent from the 90s into the early 2000's and then have been retracted upon since 2012. certainly, in the more shorter- term they moved away from that. they studied neoliberalism . they had reading groups. sometimes it was a ic characteristic of what people were hearing and that was useful to organize against a system that was not serving the majority of young people in the chicago public schools and the majority of communities in the city of chicago. i think there are uses. having conversations to talking about it makes for such a market logic. i say that in the sense of having the longer history and problems with a choice as a model. i am talking about the longer history about the school choice and also segregationist academies that were created at the time of these segregation so that children did not have to go with black children and could take the vouchers to pay for t

thank you to the economic club of chicago. thank you david, particularly. i want to say two things at the beginning. first, for the rcord, and for the people watching on television, the economic club of chicago and bloomberg both invited vice president harris to a similar interview about her economic plans and she has declined so far. and to set parameters about the interview we will focus on busines and the economy partly because th s a business audience but also because voters insist the economy is the main issue that matters when they vote. . on that note, let me invite to the stage, president trump. [applause] >> i like that crowd. that is a nice group of people. ground member: welcome to chicago. >> thank you. >> president trump, thank you for doing this. the business people of chicago, like everywhere else, they like a lot of things you want to do in terms of tax cuts and some spending proposals. but, like many business people they are often worried about the cost. the committee for a responsible federal budget, a bipartisan outfit put out predictions

well just basically abe saperstein was a chicago and he was an immigrant to chicago. born in london, came chicago as a as a boy, was the oldest of nine kids in a jewish family that lived on the north side in a neighborhood where hardly any lived in mostly german and irish neighborhood in ravenswood and abe loved sports and he was just this kind of audacious, amazing character. and he grew up to be a genius promoter. and he's the who started the harlem globetrotters, who weren't from harlem and weren't globetrotters either. and but we're from harlem. but where were they from? they were from the south side to chicago. there were five black athlete each young man from the south side of chicago. and saperstein figured out. just because he was just smart about things like that. he figured out, well, we're going to be doing barnstorm metering and small white in the midwest. we better signal to them that we're in black folks so that everything smoothly and nobody surprised. and that's what he did. and you know. and he bought a model t ford from a funeral parlor in the late t

the other hat in life is i am on the chicago board of education. in the education space thinking of covid era education debates, i would say it accelerated, they don't feel grounded in the same logics. i will stop there. [applause] do you want to add some more? >> yes. >> please. >> i want to jump on a couple of things trying to respond howi we are thinking about power especially within the 1970s, 1980s spheres where a lot of the historiography encounters the ideas of neoliberalism, traditionally pushing this top to bottom elites forcing policy on working-class and poor working-class african-americans and other racial minorities withinin these metropolitan cits . the actual texts and history is showing us something quite different. in a moment we see these different communities where my work is based. we are coming into the 1970s facing the estero -- deindustrialization. the city of chicago at this point is still under the control of the daley machine which is functionally blocking any sort of actual help of city resources , the pay for play kind o

i mentioned briefly, but i would argue that chicago led by both community based organizations, the chicago teachers union was one of the most robust and at least in a short term, successful pushes back against many of the education policies that were prevalent in the early to the from the nineties into the early 2000s and then have been retracted upon in some cases since 2012. right. and certainly the last more shorter term, a move away from that as the common sense. and they studied neoliberalism they had reading groups, they got together and named the problem. and sometimes it was called neo liberalism and sometimes it was the characteristics of what people were actually that to be in their day to day lives that was useful to organize a system that was not serving the majority of young people chicago public schools and the majority of communities in the city of chicago. so i do like i don't want to say i think there's use right i don't know i think for myself i feel like sometimes just in like having conversations, just talking about like a corporate logic education makes more such a log

of chicago but later today in atlanta, georgia, a critical battleground state. you may be thinking why is the former president going to be in illinois, estate he can't win? the goal today is to win over some of the business people and wealthy donors who will be at this economic club event. donald trump will take questions this our. a short time from now, from bloomberg's editor in chief. central to trump's economic policies making the tax cuts he ushered in permanent. you wants to expand them as well. he's talking on the campaign trail about imposing tariffs on imports especially from countries like china which he says was successful last time though some businesses disagree and to increase oil and gas production which the former president says will bring down the cost of everything else. >> i'm going to bring down your energy cost 50% in the first year. you are going to buy that house and pay 3% interest and you're going to say i love this guy. because interest rates will follow. as the energy goes down. >> reporter: we mentioned the georgia stop later tonight,

that's the chicago -- pete: that's the chicago bean. will: what is the chicago bean?s a bean. you've never been there? pete: is chicago famous for beans? if aye been to chicago many times, does it light up? will: do you go inside? rachel: it's one of those ugly modern art sculptures -- this is exactly my point. i've been there. there used to be time and it wasn't that long ago, guys, when chicago was a fun town to bring your kids to. if you lived in wisconsin, you would go and bring your kids to the city, chicago, and you'd go shopping and all the stores were open and not boarded up. it was a nice place to go to. pete: it's one of the most strikingly beautiful -- rachel: it's beautiful ark tech hur, other than the bean. now that's not the case. pete: i need to learn more about the bean. rachel: we'll get to the bean. but we're going to get to this first, because pete just came back from butler, pennsylvania, where where former president trump returned to butler himself for a historic rally. pete was there less than three months after the first assassination attempt on

, but pretty much everybody gets rich chicago politics it's like going to a paper. when you go fishing, like give you are prosecutor, you cannot be in illinois and matt gaetz illinois is steeped in a rich history of political corruption that dates back a century to the prohibition era. when bootlegging gangster such as al capone bought off politicians and police departments, keeping them drunk on power and also just drunk in rides lifetime, illinois has developed a rap sheet that any mobster would be proud of more than 1,700 convictions for corruption, including me nearly 30 chicago alderman, eight state legislators to us congressmen. >> and before rod came onto the scene, three governors in an odd way, the very people who should hate the idea of corruption or kind of proud that this is al capone, illinois chicago is a wink and a nod town insertion gotten a beer town a lot of it has to do with family relationships because a lot of the political leadership in chicago in illinois are family-related. >> there's the daily family matt egan's all of these families sort of

so what happened in chicago?ean, it looked like the movement almost turned a made a diversion when he went north, when he went to trying to to work on civil rights there. what happened in chicago? why wasn't he king? you know, we often tell the story of king as if in the last years of his life he became more radical and then he began to focus on northern segregation and northern racism. i make the contention and others have written this as well, that he was radical all along and he calling out northern racism all along. just we weren't listening because he was making big headlines in places birmingham and selma. and that's where the news was really focused. but as he traveled the country, raising money all those years and as he went to los angeles, chicago and san francisco and philadelphia, he wasn't raising money there by saying, we need your help in birmingham, was saying, you've got a problem here, too. you know, you northern who you know, i'm asking you for money, but you need to turn around, look at yoursel

he asserts university of chicago taught communism. free love is also alleged. oh, no, not free love! they actually did hold a hearing in the state legislature in illinois on this scandal of the walgreens guy taking his niece out of college. the drugstore guy's niece was exposed to free love and communism, so the state legislature had to convene a hearing. the hearing was dominated by walgreen's expert witness who he had called to testify on his behalf. her name was elizabeth dilling. and she really took over the hearing and turned it into a big spectacle. she demanded that no one be allowed to silence her. she said she would continue her testimony on the radio if they told her her time was up in the legislative hearing. she said she knew, she had lists of all the communists at the university of chicago. she also mentioned she had lists of u.s. senators who she knew were communists as well. she said the president of the board of trustees at the university of chicago, who was, like, a millionaire meat packing guy. she said, he was not only a communist, but she sa

25 miles south of chicago. but culturally, it's part of northwest indiana. we're on the on the state line road. in fact. when i was a boy, i used to love to ride my bicycle on both sides of the state line, state line road. and so we were culturally part of northwest indiana. and so when i got my sat scores, i went to thornton, fractional north, also jewish, and there were hardly any -- in calumet city in my graduating class of 400, there were four --. but when i got my sat scores and i met with my counselor. he said, oh, with your score at test scores, you could get into northwestern. and i went really? where is that? because as far as i was concerned, he was talking about somewhere in or washington and but that it turns out northwestern is actually in evanston, illinois, on the north side of chicago. i knew from skokie my parents had friends in skokie, but i didn't where evanston was. and so my best friend, jay and i drove up in our car and i saw northwestern had two beaches, and it was beautiful. and i had at

advocates of the port chicago 50 have a new monument. walt from the treasure island museum helped find new evidence including maps and plans from the naval archives that pinpointed building 97 where the trial took place. >> it created an awareness of racism that led to the desegregation of the navy and eventually all of the armed forces. >> reporter: the national park service already commemorated the site of the explosions at port chicago. highlighting where the trial took place is another step towards helping descendants to feel and understand more of the past. >> here she is today able to talk about it, able to reclaim their history, and to be proud of their father and be proud of his service. >> the navy had a strong hold on his life with that around his neck. it limited some of his possibilities. but he still lived a good life and we loved him and we are proud of him. >> for carroll and her sister there is another place to honor the men that put on the uniform and served and getting the recognition they deserve. >> advocates are look

i goes to chicago 1966 the westsideap of chicago with corea and tries to demonstrate.s he's great of focusing media attention wherever he goes the cameras come. he goes to chicago called the attention chicago schools are just as much as birmingham. chicago housing especially low income housing was just a segregated. he finds he's up against forces is not accustomed to dealing with.' the blackmu for one thing is not as united. thousands upon thousands of black city employees were loyal to the mayor will not march with them and will not join with him. his message becomes a lot less clear to the media. basically offers king compromises to make them go away it does not fulfill any of the promises he made once king is gone that's how my hometown chicago was probably the most segregated city in america. >> king a proposed what he called a new emancipation proclamation was formalized as a matter fact on may 17 to a state in 1962 he presented to president kennedy. jfk did not write favorite. i think that really hurt doctor martin luther king. you think that might have had some

now that spot will have a permanent memorial to commemorate the port chicago 50. in 1944 the sailors refused to load munitions following an explosion at port chicago near concord. the court-martial and mutiny convictions that followed sparked national outrage. it also helped pave the way for the navy to desegregate. today family members of some of the sailors were at the unveiling ceremony, including two sisters who say they're glad to see their late father honored. >> the port chicago 50 were never recognized because they were still mutineers for protesting what they believe was right. >> all i can say is thank you. i'm so grateful. my heritage is grateful. >> earlier this year the navy exonerated all of the sailors who had been convicted, but family members say none of the port chicago 50 lived long enough to see that. we'll have more on the new installation and how it's another step toward helping descendents understand their history coming up at 7:00. >>> the cbs evening news with norah o'donnell is next. local news continues on our streaming service cbs news

those men are now known as the port chicago 50. at the time, the men were sentenced to hard labor and given less than honorable discharges, and they weren't exonerated until just a few months ago. today, on the anniversary of their trial, and at the exact spot where it happened, the treasure island museum unveiled a permanent installation to commemorate the port chicago 50. developers say it's meant to teach visitors about the bravery of these men. the daughters of one of those men, cyril shepherd, was at today's unveiling and said she was deeply moved by the exhibit. and to hear that so many people do not know this story is i can't understand that. and it tells me that that's one of the areas that our country has failed on. these are american heroes. joining me now is walt bielawski. he's the vice president of the treasure island museum. thank you so much for being with me. why has it taken so long to recognize, really and honor these men and recognize the wrong that was done to them? well, the port chicago story was kind of lost

the writings lead to the university of chicago in the united states. nearly a century has passed since that time. from the time my teacher was psychoactive in the past until today. i did not see any indication that these flower writings were read. we could read many inscriptions. they did not read anything. after the revolution, the iranian government and representatives in the united nations had the issue of restitution and objection to the remaining of iran's historical properties on their agenda. what kind of agreement is this that cannot be followed for the ancient heritage of countries that returned to iran before 1970, i.e. 50 years ago , except for two stages in which a small number returned to iran? all the alwa in the post-revolution governments have returned to the country and the sixth shipment arrived in iran last night. so far, 6,868 works and pieces of shia that were taken for study have returned to iran during these six times. mohammad saler stability of sed and sima news agency. good morning. well, we are going to isfahan , where the in

and i think this drives a lot of suburban growth, especially in the midwest and places like chicago,win cities, which i looked at a little bit. and places like that. >> what is the premise of your book, "the lies of the land", and what are the conclusions you draw about rural america? >> so, the premise of the book is that rural americans have not been left behind. they have not been overlooked. when we look at this historically, what we see is that rural americans have been at the front of the national parade, as often as not. they are absolutely connected in the way that all of us are to the big forces of, let's call it american modernity. large-scale corporations and industrialization and all the rest. but what i hope people take away from this book is we might want to figure out, we have cast urban and rural in a kind of political death struggle here, and maybe there's a different way to conceive our shared common ground and maybe looking at it that way, we can begin to develop some ideas that might get us past what i see as a kind of logjam in the way we discuss all of this in t

there is one physically gathered in chicago and our audience on tv and radio.nowing pockets of voters have yet to make up their mind in a handful of states, what is the messaging going to be to them? how many different audiences could he be trying to serve today? mario: a few. the business-class attending in person. he is in a blue state that republicans have no chance of winning, but it is also the third largest media market so you want, for him, to get this message out in middle america between those blue wall states, a kitchen table kind of economic message where kamala harris has cut into his lead. >> both candidates have been criticized for not speaking enough to pay for his. -- pay fors. does it behoove him to fill in the blanks for investors who want to know more about how these tax cuts will be paid for? or does that make it more difficult for the campaign to say too much? >> as a voter, i wish he would. as someone sizing up the political landscape, i doubt he will. we are in the tactical stage of the campaign. three weeks ago, a tight election. these c

not the chicago bloomberg club. why have a politically biased post may have an audience that smart intelligent open-minded economist that just want to know what trump's programs are. >> they want to debate. it's an important point you make sometimes they just sat around talking points and they are getting at the agenda in the policies. don luskin thank you so much it's a pleasure to see you. >> what we see is so hard to see that we lose faith or a vision of those things we cannot see. >> did you follow that? we have even more of kamala harris dishing out even more word salads. this is why her campaign has been hiding her from interviews for so long. tonight we have also this story. >> trump commerce, labor, to fema. boy oh boy have they've been treated badly, the people of north carolina. >> fema workers their real misinformation is this the "washington post" discovers fema has been using disaster mass that are so at a date that likely a kept north carolina in the dark on whether they were living in a flood zone. we

from chicago, the chicago defender, a black newspaper. and the two of them formed the citizens committee. the citizens to reelect truman. it was going to be focused on black america. and then dawson recruited the third activist and was a woman named anna regiment, who was at howard university and he got her to head up the beat to be the executive director of the committee to reelect him. and she she moved into new york to new york, where the headquarters was. and her job was to run that and also to focus on donors and to battleground states, illinois and, ohio, and actually, meanwhile, stack and dawson on their own dime, they were touring the united states, including the south, trying to raise money, raising money for the campaign and appointing 80 vice chairs of the of the committee reelect throughout america. these would be well known african-american and or black citizens throughout the various regions were, blacks were living. and so and then a couple of other person should mention there was a woman india edwards. she was in charge of

the university of chicago. herself was an economic student at chicago when they would also be graduate student there. they were students of frank knight at the time who w free market oriented economist, and i think that her role wasn't significant in milton friedman's work and technical economics. she was more involved in the later work in public policy and books such as you mentioned free to choose, capitalism and freedom and other works later after he retired. >> let's hear from some of the viewers before we continue looking at free to choose. this is tim and pearl city hawaii. you are on c-span. great discussion. did milton freeman have any thoughts about the constitutional amendment or how did he think about deficit spending during wartime or national crises. did he have any thoughts on that? his thinking in this area might surprise you. during wartime i would say who therules that might generally ay should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis, so i wouldn't say that he would oppose deficit spending. howeve

in chicago.orter: it is here and chicago and later in atlanta. we expect the former president to focus on the economy. you might think it is unusual for presidential candidate to be in illinois, a state that is a solid blue state in the run-up to the election was obviously he they don't expect to win illinois but he may be able to win over business people and wealthy donors in the run-up to the election a few weeks from today. donald trump will take questions from bloomberg's editor-in-chief in the q and a style event in front of the economic club of chicago. central to trump's economic policies making tax cuts permanent and expanding them, imposing higher tariffs on imports, something he talks about a lot, increasing oil and gas production which he says will bring down costs across the board. >> i'm going to bring down your energy costs 50% in the first year. you are going to buy that house and pay 2%, 3% interest and you will say i love this guy because interest rates will follow as the energy

first up, our own grady trimble live in chicago with the roundup. grady, roundup. reporter: larry, the crowd was receptive to the economic policies but the interview itself got contentious at times and took questions from editor in chief at bloomburg and let's just say there were some philosophical differences between the two gentlemen and by far the biggest topic of discussion today was tariffs, which bloomburg suggested would hurt the trade partners and increase the national debt but former president trump fired back making the case it would protect u.s. jobs and encourage other companies to build factories here. >> it must be hard for you to spend 25 years talking about tariffs in the negative and then have somebody explain to you you're totally wrong. it will have -- reporter: you can hear the crowd cheering despite the jabs of the two men and the two covered a lot of ground on other topics as well including the federal reserve, tiktok, geopolitics and immigration. >> are you prepared to say, look, it's fine to have a slightly smaller economy in exchange for ha

the bay area has a new exhibit dedicated to the black port chicago sailors wrongfully convicted of mutiny during world war two. it is a permanent exhibit at panorama park on yerba buena island, where the 50 sailors were tried and convicted in 1944. the exhibits panels tell the port chicago story by describing the disaster and the mutiny trial organizers and the u.s. park service says this new installation celebrates the significance of that trial and sacrifices of those black sailors. >> so why should we remember port chicago? because it is a story of america, a story of struggle and resistance, oppression, perseverance, change, and one where we can clearly and plainly see the dangers of segregation and discrimination. >> in july 1944, 320 men died and 390 were injured in the port chicago explosion. most were black enlisted men who complained about not being adequately trained to handle those dangerous explosives. this was the worst domestic disaster of world war two, the largest mutiny court martial in u.s. naval history. >> all right, here's a look at stories trending tonight@ktvu.com.
