John Dempsey is joined by veteran Chicago radio host John Howell for an unfiltered conversation about Donald Trump’s return to power, the economic shock of new tariffs, and the fractured state of American media. Howell reflects on the dangers of a presidency unbound by internal checks and explains why January 6th was a turning point in his own career. From Trump’s fixation on Greenland to the future of the Democratic Party, this episode covers the chaos, consequences, and context behind today’s headlines.
