This week, Bill is joined by Don Rose, a longtime political activist in Chicago who helped organize protests at the 1968 Democratic National Convention and helped Jane Byrne get elected as Chicago's mayor in 1979. Rose talks about his reaction to Joe Biden stepping aside as POTUS candidate. They discuss the upcoming DNC in Chicago and what to expect from protestors; is there a chance what happened in 1968, happens in 2024? He talks about Brandon Johnson's first term as mayor and how he's doing. Rose also says he's surprised by how good of a governor J.B. Pritzker has been.

The reporter roundtable with Ray Long, Greg Hinz, Heather Cherone and Dave Stewart talked about what Kamala Harris needs to do to win the presidency and what Donald Trump needs to do to prevent that from happening. They discuss the new quantum computing facility that is now supposed to come to the southeast side of the city. What can that do for Chicago? And in the Michael Madigan trial, one of his top aides and codefendants, Michael McClain, wants a separate trial because he's afraid Madigan will throw him under the bus.

And finally, hear from Senator Dick Durbin about why he did not attend Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's speech to Congress.
