From political power plays to legal intricacies, this episode delves into the democratic underpinnings of elected seats, Medicare cuts, and the political theatrics of Ronald Reagan. Jim Santelle, former U.S. Attorney, dissects the firing of a U.S. Attorney and the blurred lines between politics and justice under Trump’s administration. The hosts tackle immigration policy, the U.S. Attorney’s Office chaos, and gerrymandering threats. Amid legal jargon, the conversation shifts to entertainment with Pete Schwaba discussing his show, Wisconsin's film industry, and personal anecdotes from the Chicago comedy scene.
