Join us tonight, at 9:00 pm eastern time, with our guest:  Matt Rosenberg, is author of the new book, What Next, Chicago?: Notes of a Pissed-Off Native Son.

In the fall of 2020, amidst riots, looting, and an alarming uptick in senseless killings, journalist Matt Rosenberg returns to his native Chicago to see if the city can dig itself out of the hot mess it’s become after decades of liberal governance.

Our nation’s big cities are broken. Urban progressive government badly undermines those it claims to lift. Matt Rosenberg lived in Chicago for thirty years and came back to live there again amidst the turmoil of 2020. What Next, Chicago? Notes of a Pissed-Off Native Son exposes the roots of Chicago’s violent crime, failing courts and schools, rotten finances, and ongoing Black exodus, and proposes a rescue plan for this emblematic American city.
 

 Topics for discussion:  Lori Lightfoot, Chicago crime wave, and the future of Bankruptcy for Chicago.
