joining us on Chicago tonight.

I'm Brandis Friedman.

Here's what we're looking at.

>> basically got that lot infighting so long and so hard that they don't know what.

>> Israel reportedly violates a cease-fire deal with Local terrorism specialist has analysis.

And Governor Pritzker may be running for a 3rd term spotlight.

Politics team weighs in.

>> And now to some of today's top stories, Chicago police Officer Crystal Rivera is being remembered at a visitation at this hour in the short village neighborhood, Rivera was shot and killed earlier this month in the line of duty by so-called friendly fire.

When a fellow officer discharged his weapon during a tactical operation, the 36 year-old had served the Chicago Police Department for 4 years.

She survived by her daughter.

Rivera's funeral will be held tomorrow in Forest Park.

County data about arrests, criminal case filings, jail bookings and so much more all easier to find.

Now with the new research from a new tool from Cook County.

>> This is super important and meaningful.

good work.

They're like we're live for you in the lead.

Does quite the contrary popular belief.

Their other cities in Cook County outside of Chicago.

So to have this data available for the entire county is so meaningful dashboard looks like county officials unveiled the new criminal justice dashboard today saying it will promote transparency as well as access to and understanding of data connected.

>> local criminal justice system, researchers who developed a dashboard at Loyola Center for Criminal Justice Research say its primary purpose is to identify trends and patterns in criminal justice data.

But it also balances that transparency with the privacy of those who are accused of or victims of crime.

You think it's hot outside.

Imagine beating this heat and a fur coat reality for the animals at the Lincoln Park Zoo.

But the staff there is helping them keep cool.

This is Monday.

A western lowland gorilla at the zoo enjoying and I street this is Popsicle is made with they looted juice, sugar, free Kool-Aid and fresh herbs from the zoo's own Herb Garden.

Meanwhile, birch a black bear living in the Children's Zoo has a classic pile of crushed ice there birches to munch and Paul at the zoo says every animal with an outdoor habitat also has an indoor option that the animals can choose.

And if they still choose the outdoors, there are other ways to keep cool like streams, shade structures and even rocks with air conditioning.

Because that's what we all need.

Up next, local analysis on the conflict between Israel, Iran and now the United States right after this.

>> Chicago tonight is made possible in part by the Alexander and John Nichols family, the gym and K maybe family.

The Pope Brothers Foundation and the support of these donors.

>> Iran and Israel reached a cease-fire deal.

Now this comes a day after Iran launched an attack on a U.S. air base in Qatar.

A retaliation to the U.S. bombing.

Iran's nuclear sites.

But just a day into the cease-fire, the agreement has already been violated.

Here's President Donald Trump's reaction.

>> basically says that a body had been fighting so long and so hard that they don't know what's up.

>> this.

>> Angry President Trump, their international relationships, of course, and a possible threat to Americans here at home still loom over situation.

Here to weigh in on those issues as well as the rise in domestic political violence in the United States is Robert Pape, a political scientist at the University of Chicago and Specialist on terrorism.

He is with us via zoom from Wuhan China.

Professor, thanks for joining us.

Glad to be here.

So you've been able to project this conflict with Iran and how it might play out.

You predicted the first missile strikes would be on the Iranian nuclear site Fordow and Natanz.

How are you feeling about this cease-fire right now?

>> I think that we have seen a high-risk mission with very little benefit and the cease-fire is an effort to try to dig us out of this hole.

The risks here are clearly evidence ones you on states, airstrikes.

This is going to provoke a hornet's nest of a conflict.

As you just heard the president say Israel and Iran been at each other for years and years and years.

And so once you start bombing, this is going to produce the Hornets nest.

This is going to produce the possibility of even further escalation.

That's all the risk.

The benefit was supposed to be knock out this program and the program was never likely to be knocked out.

This was fully predictable out.

This would be a futile effort.

And the more we were just had a classified intelligence estimate week in The New York Times.

It says nothing.

There's no evidence whatsoever.

We knocked out any nuclear material.

Any of the centrifuges.

We dug some holes and that's about right yet.

Reports are saying that that Iran's nuclear program may have only been set back a matter of months.

>> To that point, last night's guests that we had here on this program, both made the case that the attacks over the weekend, including Iran's response just yesterday were both highly choreographed.

Do you agree with that and how should the American people view that?

>> Yes, I think that what you're seeing is that.

It looks like Israel in the red states colluded parks even with Israel's first strike on the Iranian nuclear program about 2 weeks ago.

And then clearly there was collusion here or an effort by the president to use deception when there were negotiations between the EU and we are on negotiators to want another strike which I don't think had the surprise.

He was hoping for.

And what you saw, what he saw as the Israelis and the Americans don't cross Iranians twice wired to them directly to their face.

Double crossed them twice.

That was a tremendous credibility here.

What they're reading in stead, though, was really quite shrewd.

What they did is they did a limited strike, a limited strike to the American attack and they know they telegraphed that they told us in advance so we can get people protected in that base and nobody died.

This is a this is showing well, we are being quite reckless we're seeing a pro nuns who are being quite rude and we are grossly underestimating our opponents.

We've come out you think way?

But will.

Do you think to that and that Iran would trust any peace deal but has negotiated with the U.S. and Israel?

>> I don't think they'll be caught by surprise again.

So trust is not common.

International politics.

However, there is there are expectations, I would say.

And I think that the idea >> president is going to hoodwink the Iranians again, not not likely.

I think in fact, he is not likely to be able to get away with this with many other people around the I don't think the Russians are going to fall for any of tricks.

I don't think the Chinese are going to fall for tricks.

The Europeans are not going to fall for this.

Everybody would to double crosses less than 2 weeks.

This is going to go down in history.

And this is sending clear message that any words that come out of the president's mouth there?

Nobody nobody is really paying much attention to.

They have shock value.

As you just read.

He's using swear words.

But does anybody really believe that until we see the behavior that what Donald Trump says one minute is going to happen the next.

>> you think Americans are?

Should Americans be concerned about any risks of a possible attack on American soil?

>> I'm sorry to say yes, there are risks of the bigger risk.

Here is not so much a coordinated command directed attack from Iran as inspired attacks.

And we've seen with the with with American political arms.

We've inspired attacks are ready, but this is really a danger.

And those inspired attacks could be quite Tsa has got to stay on and lead those I don't want to want to start going into some areas because I don't want basically scare people.

But the bottom line is that we have seen inspired before in this country.

We just saw some New Year's you know what?

For many people died New Year's Day with that ramming attack.

need to on guard.

>> Because you also argue that we may be on the brink of an extremely violent era in American politics.

The U.S. has had a long history of assassinations and political violence.

But what makes this moment feel different?

>> This moment is different because I call this the euro violent populism and it's been going on for about 5 years.

So the summer of 2020, we had mostly peaceful protests with George Floyd, but 5% of them were riots and that involved hundreds of thousands of people.

That's small potatoes here.

Then we have January 6, which is, of course, a violent riot.

It's not just attacking the Capitol but trying to overturn to elected president of United States and the certification of Joe Biden.

Then we have a whole string of assassination attempts against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

Nancy Pelosi almost killed her husband and then to, of course, attempts against Donald Trump.

we begin this year 2025 with a whole spate of of political violence.

We have dozens of attacks against Tesla stations Governor Shapiro.

His whole family was almost burned to death in their home just minutes away from lawmakers well on and on.

Yes, exactly.

And you can see right away.

This is not normal.

You have to go back to the 1960's, which is BR most of our lifetimes to remember chaos of anything like this before.

And we're just getting started with the summer season.

We're just getting started protests were now really teetering on the brink of some quite serious violence will.

And among, you know, this growing sort of normalization of political violence in America.

You also write that the perpetrators don't necessarily fit the image.

>> Of.

>> Who we think they might be.

What are we?

Who are What are we understanding what we keep looking for the perpetrator to be a card carrying member of a party?

>> They're a Democrat.

Maybe they've thinking of how Democratic politics for for their Republican.

This is a mistake.

In fact, what we see over and over again is these are people who are essentially coming from a political side of the aisle, but rejecting normal politics.

The Minnesota shooter, that is just a classic example of what we've seen over the years.

this is someone who is clearly a cultural conservative he has lots in his background, that's culturally conservative.

But he appears to be rejecting being a member of a party.

Well, that means if he was somebody who thought parties were good white parties, they probably will go through the normal process and become a party activists.

It's not happening.

These are people who are voting with vigils.

They're upset about what's happening in the country.

They're coming at it from one side of the aisle.

They're attacking somebody on the other side of the aisle.

This is what's been going on our country for years and we've got to out of this idea that that we can go find and the party itself.

That said, we do need to look to party leaders to basically bring down the temperature because the water by on individuals are coming from side of the border.

central solutions, what can bring down the temperature?

The very important thing to do, I've been calling for this for several years.

It's starting finally to happen where political leaders start to condemn violence when it's coming from their own side of the political spectrum.

And that is starting to happen.

So in the case of the Minnesota shooter, you're saying Mike Johnson, for example, even Donald Trump issued a statement.

However, this is not enough.

This is a beginning.

It's good.

But what we need are much more prominent statements and actually joint statement.

So what would help in this very precarious summer that we're here is that President Donald Trump and Governor Gavin Newsom would get together in a joint conference in a Governor Pritzker will join us.

This would be even better because there are these are the way to bring the temperature.

>> Professor, we got about 30 seconds left your joining us today.

As we mentioned from Wuhan China, where you're speaking at a number of different universities over a couple of weeks.

How are the Chinese reacting to Donald Trump's actions in Iran?

And since his inauguration?

>> Stunned and mystified, which is why I'm here for 12 giving talk after talk after dark.

The audience after audience after audience.

They're they're asking what is going on in America.

And I'm here because I've done so much study about American political violence in my work international security and the understanding the Trump administration.

And that's why I'm here.

The world is stopped.

>> Yeah, what we appreciate you making some sense of it for us as well.

Professor Robert Pape in Wuhan China for us.

Thank you for joining us.

>> Absolutely.

Thank you for having me.

>> Up next, is Governor Pritzker running for a 3rd term?

We answer that and more on spotlight politics.

Governor JB Pritzker set to hold a news conference this week where he will likely announce a run for a 3rd term as governor.

Meanwhile, Mayor Brandon Johnson issuing a rare veto to the snap curfew ordinance and a new agreement on Chicago.

Police officers searching vehicles if they smell cannabis here with all that and more is our spotlight.

Politics team Heather, Sharon and Nick Wimberg taking.

So Heather Governor Pritzker set to announce that he's running for a 3rd term.

What do we know about this?

What we don't know much.

This is based on anonymous sources to a number of news organizations saying that it is time he's made the decision and he is likely to announce on Thursday.

>> That he will become a candidate for a 3rd term as governor, which is little bit unprecedented in Illinois because the conventional political wisdom is as you want serve 2 terms and go on with your life.

But Pritzker apparently is going to try to stay in office in.

It's not really clear that he's going to have serious competitor either in the Democratic primary or in general election.

Nick, what does this mean for the possible interest in the 2028 Democratic nomination for president?

Well, I think certainly, you know, Governor Pritzker has to recognize that as folks have pointed out that, you know, a 3rd term carries political risk anytime your in office.

>> You can do things that folks might want to use against you in a campaign, but it also helps him keep his national profile out there.

You know, former governors can be very high profile of voices in the party, but a lot of times when you're a former, you know, your profile starts to fade a little bit.

And Governor Pritzker absolutely does not want that to happen.

You know, certainly he has got plenty of his own money to help sell fund, you know, campaign for governor as well as mounting, you know, potentially a presidential run operation.

You know, just shortly after that.

But he won't have to resign.

If you know he decides to run for president.

Should he be re-elected?

Which I think a lot of folks think he would have a very good shot at doing so this is a way for him to keep his name at the game.

You know, in spite of the fact that sometimes folks do want to step away after 2 terms, that's probably timing is early right for him.

If he wants to keep his name up, could take a break for 2 years.

other who could be look at who could he be looking at as his running mate?

Because, of course, current Lieutenant Governor Stratton.

>> She is running to replace Senator Durbin.

Yeah, this is going to be I think a big decision for him because if he does choose to run for president, let's say he wins.

The Lieutenant Governor would become governor.

So this it's kind of a sort of a race that nobody pays a whole lot of attention to in most cycles.

But there would be more attention on it in this cycle and it will be interesting to see what sort of message he sends with Think this going blow.

It would like for somebody from the more moderate of the party because we've really started to move to serve progressive and communit Anti-Trump.

>> It's not clear sort of what calculations he is sort of undergoing there.

He doesn't have to make this decision this week.

It no further down the line, but it is sort of one of those high profile decisions that if he wasn't going to run for a 3rd term, he sort of wouldn't have to make so high level of difficulty.

even if he, you know, doesn't mean it's not even a question if he doesn't have to make the announcement right now, it's also smart for him not to make the announcement because then that becomes a renewed source of the tension on his re-election.

Correct?

Of course.

But of course, we all know he's thinking about it.

Yes of The governor did, though he signed a new bill last week that will make changes to the prison review board with changes.

That's right.

So this does a whole slew of For example, victims might be notifying are set to be notified when an offender is released, gives them the opportunity to make impact statements against them.

The opportunity to get an order of protection.

When someone is still incarcerated.

It also calls for board members to have more relevant experience either judicial or law enforcement.

Now, this is a less robust package of reforms.

Then one that had started to move through the General Assembly before it stalled last year.

>> That would have done things like make the board's meeting subject to the Open Meetings Act in Crete, this big task force to oversee it.

Governor Pritzker and other folks had some questions largely around the feasibility of those reforms, especially like live streaming the meetings and the fact that there wasn't really any funding tied to that reform This is a more slim down package of reforms, but still one that a lot of advocates were eager to see.

Remind us how we got to these changes.

That's what this comes after the murder last year of 11 year-old Jaden Perkins was at the hands of a man Chris City brand who'd been harassing Perkins's mother, his his former partner.

She was unable to get an order of protection against him because the judge said this man is still behind bars.

So that's why that was part of the reform package.

But one day after the review board approved brands released, he attacked La Tarea Smith and killed Jaden Perkins to members of the board resigned in the wake of that murder.

And Smith has since filed a negligence.

Okay, Heather?

Last week city Council passed that snap curfew ordinance.

Mayor Johnson issuing the rare veto on it.

What happens now?

Well, it will become official when it has read into the record at the July 16th City Council meeting and that will give supporters an attempt to at least a chance to override that veto.

Now they would need 34 votes on the city council to do That seems at least right now a big lift because it passed with just 27 votes.

So >> Alderman Brian Hopkins, who is the lead sponsor, says he's going to try to override it because he is really committed to this being the right path that the city.

However, it's not clear that he could say anything to any of his colleagues to change their mind on this issue, which I feel like I've been reporting on since the dawn time.

James, with now, is it possible that there is a team take over in the next couple weeks that turns violent that sort reset this narrative perhaps.

But there has not been a team take over in Chicago that turned violent since Mid-March.

At the same time, there have been 3 in Naperville each of those have turned violent.

And it's not clear whether Chicago police need or want additional tools to help them keep a lid on these Nick, a federal judge blocking the Trump administration from using the state's cooperation with immigration efforts as a condition for receiving transportation funds.

Illinois was one of 20 states part of that lawsuit.

What's next?

Well, this is a preliminary injunction saying that the transportation secretary cannot put these kinds of mandates on the funding that goes to states.

>> Now, if Secretary Sean Duffy has vowed to fight this in court about to appeal that decision, calling this judicial activism by an Obama appointed judge.

What this is just one of many lawsuits that Illinois and others other states have been launching against the Trump administration for these sorts of funding freezes conditions, clawbacks, things that they say are not illegal precondition or a legal way to treat that that money that is promised to states.

>> Heather, you were reported today that there's a new agreement on when and why Chicago police officers can search vehicles if they smell cannabis.

Tell us about these new rules.

Well, it's complicated because it involves the consent decree and everything involving the consent decree is complicated.

But essentially the coalition of police reform groups led by the American Civil Liberties Union of Illinois said the CPD was.

>> Impermissibly trying to rewrite their policy for investigatory searches to allow officers to search a vehicle if they smell raw canvas.

Now this is based on an Illinois Supreme Court decision that said that that was permissible reason to search a car since state law requires raw cannabis to be kept in an airtight container in cars.

Now, however, the coalition said, nope, the consent decree said no searches based just on the smell of cannabis either burned or raw.

And they said today in a court filing that they had reached an agreement and they were relieved that CPD, it's sort of dropped this push and that in this policy it will only be permissible for officers to search a car if they smell cannabis.

Raw cannabis.

If they have another reason to suspect criminal activity.

So it's complicated, but it is a very important sort of, you know, push towards resolving this.

these issues at the heart of the consent You've also done some reporting on the city's 28 year contract with calm.

It expired a little over 4 years ago, but there is still no new one.

Why not?

Well, back in 1992, the big issue was in weeks like this where it was very hot.

There were frequent in very serious power outages.

People didn't have AC.

They couldn't keep their food called and that agreement all the way back when I was a school was designed to prevent those outages.

Flight boarding on events.

Yeah, you know, I was since city and comment really haven't started negotiating in Ernest with over a new deal.

Now there was a bunch of flurry of activity all the way back in 2020 when comment found itself embroiled in the middle of the scandal that would eventually lead to former House Speaker Michael Madigan's conviction and now looming incarceration.

>> It's not clear why there's been no sort of, you know, moving forward on this.

But it means that the city has not been able to make changes to this really old agreement that reflects, you know, the 21st 30 seconds left, Nick, because everyone in northern Illinois is going to be paying more for electricity this summer.

Why?

That's right.

Those prices are going up some 45 to 50% utilities like Ahmed say they're paying higher prices at recent, you know, power capacity auctions because >> there's more demand from data centers which are cropping up all over in Illinois.

And there hasn't been enough renewable energy added into the pipeline.

>> There was a push to make some more of that happen as well as provide relief from bills for low-income consumers in the most recent General Assembly that did not move forward.

We should find out our new rates post summer rates in October, but we have not heard yet from come out what those will be so they don't have anything do build.

Yeah.

Alright.

That spotlight had a shrew.
