This week, Bill talks with Chaz Ebert, the CEO of Ebert Digital which runs RogerEbert.com. Chaz is the wife of the great late movie critic Roger Ebert. She has a new book out now call "It's Time to Give a FECK: Elevating Humanity Through Forgiveness, Empathy, Compassion and Kindness." They discuss how the world can be better by following FECK principles and how she relates FECK to Donald Trump. Also, what is the state of the movie industry?

The reporter roundtable with Greg Hinz, Heather Cherone, Dave Stewart and Ray Long talk about Brandon Johnson's first year as Chicago Mayor. He officially took office May 15th of last year. What grade would the roundtable give the former teacher turned mayor. He also just went down to Springfield asking for about $1 billion for Chicago Schools, public transportation and the Chicago Bears new stadium. How much will Chicago actually get from the state? And an Illinois judge ruled there was rampant racial discrimination in the water department and the city owes about a dozen former employees a multi-million dollar settlement.

Finally, Hillary Clinton gives some much-needed history lesson on the Middle East and as it relates to Pro-Palestinian protestors on college campuses.

This week, Bill played testimony from a current US Supreme Court case involving the former mayor of Portage, Indiana, James Snyder. He was convicted of corruption. The Supreme Court could rule in favor of Snyder and that could affect the trial of Mike Madigan, and could affect the convictions of the ComEd 4 and Ed Burke.

This week on the reporter roundtable with Greg Hinz, Heather Cherone, Dave Stewart and Ray Long, they discuss Governor Pritzker calling the Chicago Bears' stadium proposal as a "non-starter." Is the new stadium dead? Speaking of the governor, he was not invited to the funeral of slain Chicago Police Officer Luis Huesca. Mayor Brandon Johnson was also not invited. Does this show the strain between the CPD and the political leaders in Illinois?

And hear Joe Biden make a speech about all the protests going on, on college campuses including at Northwestern and University of Chicago.
