Ben & Dr. D take the deep dive on all the news of the week, starting with...rumorgate. Lefties lose their minds over allegation that Mayor Lightfoot will step down, but Lori lovers overplay the victim card. As the mayor takes a page from Mayor Daley and shuts off Alderman Sigcho Lopez' microphone. Also, how Michael Madigan used his invincibility to make him even more invincible. Will Speaker Welch be different? The the latest on the MAGA men who want to run for governor. And more!!
