Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot

President Biden and the Democratic Party are lauding the passage of the first major gun rights legislation in decades. It’s a small victory after the Supreme Court ruled to expand gun rights, and Chicago could be the measure of its success. The city is struggling with high levels of gun violence and lethal crime: in 2021, it experienced one of its deadliest years in recent memory, with almost 800 homicides. The state of Illinois is also bracing for the impact of the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade, as although abortion access remains legal there, it’s surrounded by states where bans are coming into effect, meaning local providers could be overwhelmed. Chicago’s Mayor Lori Lightfoot recently announced she is running for reelection, and she is currently in Europe to champion the city’s economic recovery. She joins the show from the sidelines of Fintech Week London. Also on today's show: political economist Ahilan Kadirgamar, who took part in the Sri Lankan protests; author Ken Auletta, whose new book Hollywood Ending deals with the Harvey Weinstein saga; Tim Miller, author of Why We Did It, which explores his involvement with the GOP.
