The 2026 FIFA World Cup is coming to Atlanta. Dan Corso, the president of the Atlanta Sports Council at Metro Atlanta Chamber, talks with Rose about preparations for the international sporting event and the lessons learned from the 1996 Olympic Games.

Civil rights activist Angela Davis talks with Rose about her recent decision to return a proclamation from the City of Atlanta as the city moves forward with its plans to build a $90-million police and fire training facility at the Old Atlanta Prison Farm site, where prisoners worked in poor conditions for several decades.
