Jim Iuorio fills in for Shaun!

PLUS, Stephen Moore, economist and founder of Committee to Unleash Prosperity, tells Jim Iuorio everything that economists got wrong about Trump's economy in 2025.   

Jim Bianco, President and Macro Strategist at Bianco Research, tells Jim Iuorio that because the Illinois Constitution does not allow a municipality to go bankrupt, Illinoisians will be stuck with the bill when Chicago goes bankrupt. 

Ray Lopez, Alderman of Chicago's 15th Ward, talks to Jim Iuorio about the possible "green-flight" from Chicago after the Chicago Board of Education secretly raised property taxes $25M.
