Can Chicago's gun violence ever be tamed? Join Elsa Kurt and Clay Novak as we peel back the layers of Chicago politics, starting with a reflection on the 1968 Democratic National Convention and drawing parallels to the current political climate. Our in-depth discussion ranges from the tragic statistics of the recent Fourth of July weekend to Mayor Brandon Johnson's polarizing remarks and the city's struggle to balance resources between residents and new immigrants. 

We then broaden our scope, scrutinizing the impenetrable power structures in cities like Seattle, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. Are genuine community efforts being deliberately sabotaged? This chapter uncovers the disturbing reality behind local governance and explores the public's mounting frustration. We also highlight NEA President Becky Pringle's fervent speech, addressing critical issues such as affirmative action and student loan debt, and how these topics are shaking the political landscape.

Finally, we turn a critical eye to the state of modern journalism. With the recent controversy surrounding Andrea Lawful Sanders' pre-coordinated interview with President Biden, we examine the erosion of journalistic integrity and its implications for public trust. From the over-sensationalized 24/7 news cycle to the nostalgic days of straightforward reporting, we discuss the urgent need for a return to honest, investigative journalism. Don't miss this compelling conversation that challenges current narratives and offers thought-provoking insights.
