This week, Bill Cameron is joined by Congressman from Illinois (D) Mike Quigley, whose district includes much of the north side of Chicago, as well as the northern and north west suburbs. They discussed the threats to democracy within the country and from outside of the United States. Quigley also talked about his relationship with new Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and his excitement about the Blackhawks landing Connor Bedard in the NHL Draft.

In this week's round-table with Heather Cherone, Ray Long and Dave Stewart, they discuss the trouble at Northwestern with Football Coach Pat Fitzgerald and Baseball Coach Jim Foster being fired. Is the administration handling these situations well and has the reputation of the university taken a hit? Brandon Johnson has his choice of three candidates for the new CPD Superintendent. Michael Madigan's longtime chief of staff, Tim Mapes is about to go on trial and the man who literally wrote the book on Mike Madigan, Ray Long talked about the case. And Jesse Jackson stepped down from his role at Rainbow Push. What is his legacy in Chicago?
