The government just predicted the future of your job, plus Trump threatens Chicago and is fair food too pricey?

The day's biggest stories, the people behind the headlines, the conversations you won't hear anywhere else.
I'm Christy Strawser, you're listening to Audacy's On Deadline. Remember when federal troops started going into local communities, and then it morphed into protests, and the ice killings happened, and we seemed to move past it? It's back. Here's WBBM in Chicago with Donald Trump's threat to the Democratic holdout Windy City. Specifically, Trump's social media post said, Chicago will die if elected officials don't ask for his help to stop the violence.

**SPEAKER_2** (0:34)
The president's social media account posted at 3:45 a.m. that violence in Chicago has, in his words, never been worse. It then ran down a tally of casualties from last weekend's shootings, including Saturday night's fatal mass shooting in Washington Park, and went on to predict that Chicago would, in his words, die without federal law enforcement intervention.

**SPEAKER_3** (0:54)
I find him to be a sorry individual.

**SPEAKER_2** (0:56)
During an update on the city's response to the Washington Park shooting, the mayor told reporters it's hard to take the president seriously, especially when the latest numbers suggest violent crime is continuing its downward trend in Chicago.

**SPEAKER_3** (1:08)
If he was serious about driving violence down, not just in Chicago but across the country, he would not be engaged in endless illegal wars.

**SPEAKER_2** (1:20)
The mayor called out cuts in ATF and violence prevention funding, and said the president had an open invitation to invest in the people of Chicago.

That's a snapshot of the world of politics. But how about business and tech? Tim Cook retired this week after a wild 15 year ride as CEO of Apple.
Here's KCBS in the Bay Area.

**SPEAKER_4** (1:47)
Ian, sure, AI and tech analyst for time-worthy research. Ian, always good to talk with you. What kind of long-term impact has Tim Cook had at Apple?

**SPEAKER_5** (1:58)
I mean, it's almost indescribable, right? He was one of the first real CEOs after Steve Jobs when it came to running the company. And in particular, he took over in 2011 when Steve Jobs, the co-founder, stepped down. He was ill. He eventually passed away. And Tim Cook took this company from being, it had the iPhone, it had the Mac, it had all of these products that were doing well, but he really turned it into this $5 trillion company that it is today.
And there have been other CEOs in Apple's past, but none really match up against Tim Cook as a successor to Steve Jobs.

**SPEAKER_4** (2:49)
Yeah, when you talk about following Steve Jobs, I mean, I'll use a sports analogy. Some poor guy had to take Michael Jordan's spot on the roster when he retired. I mean, those were pretty big shoes to fill.

**SPEAKER_5** (3:00)
Yes. And it's not like they're going to retire the number either, right? Like they still need a CEO at Apple. And I think that's part of what's been fascinating is that Tim Cook is a different person, right? He's had different approaches to how he wants to run the company.
Almost immediately when he took over, he made it so that there were more, for example, donations to social causes, something that Steve Jobs had been kind of less talkative about and less supportive of.
And he also really was able to push the company in terms of its supply chain, right? One of the things that really changed under Tim Cook was that they were suddenly selling far more iPhones than they were before. And part of that is because the iPhone really took off. But also, Apple's ability to meet that demand was something that really set Tim Cook apart from a lot of other CEOs that might have tried.

**SPEAKER_4** (4:01)
So just like somebody had to follow Steve Jobs, now somebody has to follow Tim Cook. What can you tell us about that somebody? Do you expect any major changes from the way Apple has led?

**SPEAKER_5** (4:13)
Yeah, so his name is John Ternes, and he's been at Apple for a long time. He's 51 years old. And I think what's interesting is that, unlike Tim Cook, who was really a kind of operator and very good at supply chain management, that was really where his strength was. It's why Steve Jobs hired him into Apple.
But also, Ternes, on the other hand, is more of a design person, right? He has more of the hands-on manufacturing kind of understanding of engineering. And so it's possible that we might see more of a return from the top of the CEO actually being a lot more involved in the process. A lot of the reporting we've heard over the years is that, while Tim Cook of course is supportive of his teams and may have positions and feelings about certain products, it wasn't like Steve Jobs who would, you know, to the very littlest detail and even like how hard a button clicked or, you know, how many pixels over a button was on the screen.
