Well, it’s more than a week in review. More like several centuries in review. As Ben and Jauwan Hall-Bertrand start with Nikki Haley recently opining that America is not a racist country. That leads to a discussion of reparations. And what the Bulls can do to exorcise the Jordan curse. Hint—buy that mansion. And more, including much love for Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and his take on Trump not signing the loyalty oath in Illinois. Jauwan is a veteran (Marines), human rights advocate and political activist in Chicago.
