mayor lightfoot: it is significant.had an $800 mil shortfall in our budget and 100% of that shortfall is covid-related. we have a $1.2 billion budget deficit for next year, 2021, and 65% of that shortfall is covid-related. that is why it is distressing the federal government has failed to recognize not just the plight of a city like chicago, but cities and towns all over the country, red, blue, purple, republican, democrat. this is a virus that does not respect polical boundaries, and we need a bipartisan solution for this problem. we are going to keep pushing every lever we can of, but for now, we are not tting additional help from the fedel government. our pandemicre responses upon us in chicago makingough, hard choices that are going to be necessary toalance our budget as we are mandated to do. judy: earlier, i spoke with the head of the white house domestic policy council. she said -- ier was askinghy it has taken so long to reach an agreement- she said the president is pushing as hard as he can, she said, we want y

mayor lightfoot, we heard governor pritzker, the governor of illinois, say yesterday thats a coviorm is coming. what does the situation look like right now in cgohi >> well, it is of grave concern. we're seeing the rate of new cases really escalate in the same way that we saw them back in the spring. we are seeing a slight uptick in hospitalizations, not i.c.u. beds, yet, thankfully, but we're very concerned. we announced some steps and measures last week to step back some of e measures that we had put in place and slightlyin opup our economy, but we're very concerned about the second surge. > >> woodruff: and governor pritzker saying he will impose restrictions again starting friday on indoor dining. what other restrictions are you looking at cming? >> well, there are a number of restrictions and we're very concerned about them. our restaurant industry, our if thevernor's order goesaces, into effect, it's really effectively shuttingwn a significant portion of our economy at a time when those same businesses are really hanging on by a thread. so we're going to continue our engagement

joining me now is chicago mayor lori lightfoot. mayor lightfoot, thank you for being with me this evening. >> pleasure. can i just say, your opening monologue, right on target, right on point. >> thank you. thank you very much. let me ask you, ms. mayor, you have been one that has been vehement and unshakable in trying to protect your constituents there in chicago. i was there earlier this week. you also want to protect their right to vote. what measures are you taking as we see around the country, a lot of mayors concerned about what reaction may occur, whichever way this election may go on tuesday? >> look, we've been focused really on two things. first is making sure that we have election integrity. we've been working with our independent election board for a week to make sure they're prepared. you know, i think these next couple cycles we have to really completely rethink the infrastructure for voting. we rely upon our seniors as election judges, as poll watchers, and we rely upon senior places for polling places as well as sch

with us is lori lightfoot.was heart-breaking to watch that press conference. >> yes. >> why are cases in chicago spiking? >> look, i think what we see is cases going up all over the country. chicago is the lowest area for new cases in the entire state of illinois, but we are definitely very concerned about the increase, and we've seen the pace of daily increases mimic what we saw at the height of the pandemic back in the spring, which is why we're starting to take additional measures, to educate the public, to break through the covid fatigue but also to target interventions, and areas that we're hoping will make a difference. >> well, i mean obviously cases are going up all over the country, but if you just compare chicago to say new york, here are a couple of numbers, the new cases in chicago were 703, up 200 over the week before, in new york they were 359, down from the prior week. in chicago, i think at last check your positivity rate was 7.1%. in new york it's 1.8%. i'm not trying to do a victory lap by any

chapter 11 is the only solution that lightfoot and pritzker's idiocy brings.he democrats. they have failed in so many ways. they bought votes with extreme pension plans that they can't pay for. pelosi's holding up legislation right now to try to get them money to cover their pensions because she doesn't want to lose those votes. and the reality of it is they need the fix their own problems, and shutting down restaurants, forcing bankruptcy, putting these small business people out of buzz is just insane, and it's not going to work. ultimately, the american people are going to rise up and say enough is enough. you know, stuart, that there are 313 people a day, over 500,000 people have moved out of illinois in the last four and a half years. it's all because of insane taxes, overregulation and incensingtivity to the guy on the street that's trying to earn a living for his family. it's critical there. stuart: by the way, ed, in italy where they've just reimposed some strict restrictions, there were street demonstrations and a near riot. i think you're talking abou

miss clark to the back clarke, would you comment on mayor lightfoot's version of a regionalism? >> i have great concerns about judge barrett commitment to a regionalism the over regionali regionalism, it purports to rely on the understandings of our cot the time where the language was adopted, which is not practical in the 21st century. and it can lead to a high degree of speculation about the subjective understanding. but i would like if i could to read a quote from justice kennedy. the nature of injustice is that we may not always see it in our own time, but generations that wrote and ratified the bill of rights and the 14th amendment did not presume to know the extent of freedom in all of its dimensions and so they entrusted the future generations to enjoy liberty as we learn its meaning. i think that judge barrett's strict adherence to originalism stance to turn our country back decades. and runs the risk that we will exclude from the constitution promised african-americans, women's rights, lgbtq rights, and more. >> miss clarke, many other questions and issues before us sti

reporter: connell, you mentioned the pushback from mayor lori lightfoot.he asked the above not to go forward. governor pritzker reiterating he will do it here and other regions across illinois. connell: yep. it is an uncertain environment there and in other places as well. grade i did, thank you. grady trimble there live from chicago. let's move north across the border to wisconsin, a key state for the for the white house also a fight against the virus. we're joined by a small business owner, bibby wilkins who owns three restaurants in the milwaukee area. the governor reinstituted covid-19 restriction there is. bobby, what is the status of your businesses right now? >> as you could hear, as you know, wisconsin has gone to 25% but here in the city of milwaukee we have got tighter restrictions. they came through with it two days ago. it starts tomorrow. dance floors are closed. all patrons have to be seated at all times. so, a little better than chicago. obviously our cases have been spiking here in milwaukee. hospital rates are higher but people cannot move

in chicago, mayor lori lightfoot made a public appeal to slow virus spread. mayor lightfoot: i understand that a lot of sacrifices have been made over these many months. i also understand the fatigue factor that people have. but folks, given what we're seeing and the incredible escalation of the rates of cases every day, this is not a time when we can indulge in covid fatigue. stephanie: also today, the nation's top military leaders were cleared to return to work. they had gone into quarantine when a senior coast guard official tested positive for the virus earlier this month. we'll take a closer look at the wave of new covid cases, after the news summary. the justice department today charge six russians with hacking , everything from the 2017 french elections to the 2018 winter olympics to u.s. hospitals. the indictment says all six were or still are officers in russian military intelligence known as the gr you the gru. -- the gru. the gru. that same agency targeted democratic party emails in the 2016 u.s. election, but the men accused today are not imicated

i know mayor lightfoot has raised this.e any plan to treat especially northern illinois regionally thinking just about the interstate traffic that comes and goes and air travel in and out of o'hare? >> i mean, we are a special state in that we border, you know, six different states. so we've got a lot of issues. we are actually doing better than all of our bordering states, so really a regional approach, of course, a national approach is really what we need to move forward. a unified strategy because no matter where we are in the states we know that everything is just a flight away. and so it's beyond even just our state, our region, you know, a national strategy would be great to just have us all be working, getting all of our ducks moving in the same direction so that we can get to the other side of this pandemic much quicker. >> final question, and forgive me it's a personal question as i was watching you at the press conference. i was wondering if and how coronavirus has affected you and your immediately family and frie

mayor lightfoot said if the city doesn't see a drastic turnaround, she will not hesitate to take action. by take action, she's talking about reverting to phase three. phase three only allows bars and restaurants to be open for delivery, drive-thru and pickup. if you want to get with your family or friends, no more than ten people. indeed chicago is one midwest state struggling to maintain and stop the spread. by contrast, when you look at chicago, compared to, let's say the state of wisconsin, the positivity rate here is low in comparison. 5.4% here in haul, whereas in wisconsin, it topped 25%. but the mayor of chicago said she does not want her city to reach those number. earlier she said every day someone in chicago died from covid-19. at the starred of the pandemic, health official thought masses transit would drive up the cases and infections, but that's not what they're seeing. contact tracing revealed two out of three residents who were diagnosed with covid-19 said they likely know the person who infected them. >> adrienne, broaddus, thank you. >>> after a week johnson & johnson p

we have a lightfoot print right now in afghanistan compared to where we have been.p wants to unilaterally withdraw, ignoring all of the lessons of the unilaterally withdrawal from iraq. talk about the great frustration this is causing our military leaders and perhaps this is the reason why the president of the united states, the commander in chief, continues to slander their good name. >> joe, we as every viewer feels have had a terrible struggle these last two decades with what the president calls endless wars and i think people don't understand is that after all of the difficulty in iraq, in afghanistan, with over 100,000 troops in each place, the military got smart and realized there's a different way to achieve u.s. objectives. it does involve a lighter footprint and involves the special forces, not big, heavy units that were basically designed to fight russia. it involves partners who are reliable, who will stand and fight. we are lucky to find partners like that in syria to a lesser extent in afghanistan. but some of the afghan forces, we have found good partn
