Wall Street tycoons wake up to realize that their guy Trump is a lunatic. Ben riffs. Elizabeth Todd-Breland talks about I Didn't Come Here to Lie, the new book she co-wrote with the late, great Karen Lewis, former president of the Chicago Teachers Union. Who, among many other things, galvanized the national labor movement by leading Chicago teachers on a strike against Mayor Rahm. Why did mainstream Chicago hate her so much? And why are so many of these same haters trying to re-write history about their relationship to her? And more, including...Ben compares Karen to Harry Truman, a comparison that's not nearly as nutty as it sounds. Elizabeth is a history professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago.
