  • Ald. Sposato: Trump sending the National Guard to Chicago would be ‘a recipe for disaster’

    38th Ward Alderman Nicholas Sposato joins Lisa Dent to discuss President Trump’s plan to send the National Guard to Chicago. Ald. Sposato calls that an “idle threat” he doesn’t believe will become reality. He suggests a more effective solution to combat the city’s crime problem would be to calculate the amount of money that would be spent on sending the National Guard and instead provide those funds to Chicago to pay for hiring additional police.

  • Does GLP-1 drug usage increase risk of blindness?

    Dr. Sterling Elliott, clinical pharmacist at Northwestern Medicine and assistant professor of orthopaedics at Feinberg School of Medicine, joins Lisa Dent to discuss a study that tied use of GLP-1 medications such as Ozempic and Wegovy to an increased risk of blindness. Dr. Elliott says that, while there isn’t a need for those using the medications to “slam the brakes” over this, it is important to “be aware of what’s going on” and be prepared to contact your doctor and ophthalmologist for specific answers for your case.
