We start of this show by talking with Michael Klaus Schmidt, an award winning artist and illustrator, about his multi volume children book series "Adventures of the Salamander" which teaches important universal life lessons. Our second segment focuses on the opening of Lebron James IPromise School in his hometown of Akron, OH. He makes history not only providing a laundry list of free services and resources to the children and their families, but James also guarntees free tuition to the University of Akron upon their graduation.

We close out the show with a brief reflection on the history and resurgence of a Chicago culinary icon "Dock's Fish." Let us know the best neighborhood eating spots where you're at. We'll give you a shout out.

In the first half we talk with Junaid Ahmed, Director of the Center for Middle Eastern Politics & Assistant Professor at the University of Lahore in Pakistan, about Pakistan's recent election of Cricket Legend Imran Khan as Prime Minister. Khan has yet to be corronated, and has been unfairly criticized by the United States as being unpredictable because of his opposotion to the war on terror which often results in mass civilian casualties.

In the second half Tariq shares thoughts on a recent Anti-Violence march which took place, followed by he and Ibrahim talking about White House Press Secretary, Sarah Huckabee-Sanders, dismissal of an opportunity to say that the media is not the enemy of the people and the implications thereof.

Mick Dumke is an investigative journalist with ProPublica Chicago. He joins us in-studio to talk about Chicago's gang database, which includes huge swaths of people who may not even realize it. We also learn about instances of the City infiltrating groups of protesters. There are, in fact, many different databases in Chicago, and probably in other mega-cities as well. Is all the surveillance worth it, or has it gone too far?

Tariq opens by giving his thoughts on police killings. Then we switch gears and talk about the 4th Estate, AKA the free press, and how it's essential to democracy--while still retaining a healthy amount of skepticism regarding media narratives. We close by mentioning a few things about birthright citizenship.
