About Chicago and Bari Weiss

Andrew Heaton, Jen Briney, Justin Robert Young
About this episode

The gang talks through the recent deployment of the Texas National Guard in Illinois this week, despite Illinois officials like Gov. JB Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson condemning the move as “illegal, unconstitutional, and dangerous." Should the Texas National Guard be in Illinois at all, or is this another example of federal overreach? Then the attention turns to Bari Weiss, the new CEO of CBS News following the acquisition of The Free Press. Is this a sign of positive changes coming to old-school media machines like CBS, or is it something else altogether?
