Ted joined Chicago Tonight to talk about the disruption Trump will bring to Illinois on the border, on energy, on free speech, etc. – but he also talked about how real disruption must come from ordinary Illinoisans, what we must do to really honor MLK day, and more.

- As Illinois politicians keep pushing progressive tax schemes, other states keep dumping them. Louisiana is the latest.
Expect no retraction or apology. This what they do.
The state’s existing buyout program for its own pensions is the precedent for Chicago, which should be a warning: Look out for similar exaggerated claims and shoddy analysis.
How about giving the would-be refugees a small cash stipend and a quick comfortable trip back to their place of origin IF they turn themselves in before the end of January? Perhaps hand out the money in local currency once they are leaving the plane in Mexico or wherever. They’d have to sign a liability release also. This would save a lot of money paying ICE to search for and capture and house them. It could also expedite the process — which is otherwise likely to be challenged in front of sympathetic judges. Hell, let them hire lawyers to arrange… Read more »
Voters in Cook County control the state and they vote democrats into office. They are just plain too stupid to see what harm the people they elect are causing to the state.

Illinoisans are scum. They can’t even fix their own BM.
Congrats Ted & WP, so disappointing it takes Trump getting elected to get a few minutes on WTTW. One wonders of Trump will be the GIANT rating godsend he was for lib press last time around or continue ratings to nosedive, like msnbc? Encouraging to see direction trib seems to be going.
We sure need a State of Illinois DOGE.
You need to talk directly with the public to get an idea of where we’re at, what works, and what doesn’t. Visit some college campuses, visit some liberal neighborhoods. Charlie Kirk has an excellent engagement model.
The Illinois public lacks human intelligence and self-respect. They are not worthy of freedom because they like being slaves.
I don’t think anybody doesn’t like freedom or likes being a slave. There are too many voters who want to have somebody else pay for their needs, which allows them to do what they want with their own personal or household income.
