The Real Story with Jeanne Ives and Amy Jacobson

Pastor Corey Brooks joins the show from the rooftop of a replica of the future Leadership and Economic Opportunity Center to talk about ProjectHood's capital campaign to end gun violence in the inner city;  So transparent: the Illinois Budget Allows JB to spend billions in federal COVID-19 aid without any legislative input; Tornadoes devastate midwest communities and the Left can't set aside politics long enough to clear the rubble;  Los Angeles schools to push back vax deadline for nine months + other COVID news;  and MSNBC says Biden's low polls are ... wait for it... Trump's fault.

Biden's vax mandate shot down (again); Jussie Smollett's attacker is brought to justice; Clash of the parents: our local school board report; In response to Chicago's rising crime. Lori Lightfoot places the blame on retailers; State Rep. Jonathan Carroll's (D-Northbrook) attempt to punish people with whom he and his base disagree.

The woke get a wake up call in Oak Park River Forest; Why Australia's nightmare-ish COVID lockdowns matter in the US; An Illinois official (a Pritzker appointee) who is falsifying overtime reports is under renewed scrutiny after collecting more than $71,000 in workers’ compensation and disability benefits tied to her unsubstantiated allegations of sexual assault is the picture of the mess Democrats have created; DC Mayor's former Spox converting to GOP (not a moment too soon) and RIP Bob Dole.

As the Jussie Smollett trial begins, Jeanne and Kathleen discuss media narratives and the politics surrounding them; Crime continues unabated in Chicago; The Illinois State Board of Education moves to rate schools by "equity status;" "I did that!" Are the new Biden Gas Pump Stickers the perfect stocking stuffer this Christmas? (Yes); The Mid-Term Election Variant is here. It's called "Omicron" and Fauci declares that he is science.

Jeanne and Kathleen cover the Left's unhinged reaction to the Rittenhouse verdict; The DuPage Democrats' Social Media Director Says the Quiet Part Out Loud; Fauci Parties Maskless in DC; A courageous Illinois history teacher exposes the truth about CRT: It's in your schools - and yes, they are lying to you about it; and America celebrates is 400th Thanksgiving. 

A court orders the Biden Administration to stand down on the Vaccine Mandate for businesses; Co-Founder of the Edgar County Watchdogs, Kirk Allen joins the show to discuss Auditor General Frank Mautino and Illinois corruption; After Kevin McCarthy's marathon floor speech, the US House passed  Joe Biden's "Build Back Better Plan anyway; And while schools prepare to start vaccinating the age 5-11 set, one of our heroes Bob from Glen Ellyn stands up to his school board. 

In his twenty-first month of tyranny, Gov. Pritzker defends keeping his mask mandate in place; NBC's very own Marie Antionette shares a 'Dirty Little Secret': People Can Afford Inflation Just Fine (quit complaining); Creep Alert: an Arizona school board president is keeping a Google Drive file full of private information about outspoken parents, And Twitter is testing Trigger Warnings... the irony is lost on them.

"It's time for YOU to stand up." A seven year old drops a lot of truth on her school board; District 200 School board member Mary Yeboah issues a statement calling for the board to reject "the myth of American Exceptionalism;" The lawyer for the Edward Hospital patient who is now recovering after taking Ivermectin; And an update on the door-to-door efforts in Breakthrough Ideas ballot integrity project. The results reveal the validity of our data and the untrustworthiness of the media. 

Even Democrat governors are now rejecting Biden's vaccine mandate; As gas prices soar, the Biden Administration considers shutting down another pipeline; Illinois: Crazy It's Ever Been, And a major daily newspaper openly ponders whether Americans should "tolerate burglaries."
