Chicago Way w/John Kass (07/07/25): Charles Lipson joins John Kass & Jeff Carlin for this post Independence Day episode. Charles is the Peter B. Ritzma Professor of Political Science Emeritus at the University of Chicago and an author whose writings can be found in the Spectator, Spectator World, The Telegraph, and more. On the docket, what the ’12 Day War’ between Iran & Israel means for geopolitical relations throughout the Middle East and beyond, how birthright citizenship impacts the U.S. census -and in turn the power balance between traditionally red & blue state, and why the ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ will have a legacy beyond that of Ronald Reagan. Plus, Kasso wonders if the Declaration of Independence is the greatest document ever produced in America?
