Hi, I enjoy your show. I would like to express my concern with the recent march on the DAN RYAN EXPRESSWAY. I can’t understand why a Catholic priest and community leader would defy authorities and put thousands of people at risk of potentially fatal harm
What message are they sending, ” don’t obey the rules ” ? What of someone got hurt? Who’s fault would it be? These so called leaders might consider putting thiee recourses and energy toward fixing the problem instead of grandstanding for their personal ego.
If guns and economic development are important to them get off the expressway and go door to door in high crime areas. Speaktothelaw abiding citizens who is behind the shootings. Walk the streets in.number during peak crime time, show the law breakers that they will be seen. As for economic development, why don’t they try to run a business in the effected neighborhoods. Maybe the can.lead by example !
There’s many ways to solve problems, protests my ring attention to the problem but rarely solves it. Wake up Father Flagger and Jesse Jackson ! Both of you have plenty of resources to help. Get off your grandstand long enough to become REAL leaders.
Be brave enough to start a business in the underdeveloped areas. See if you can make them be profitable. Maybe gun violence will go down, maybe not, but get in there and take positive action
Don’t teach people to defy the law, or maybe the people will think it’s OK to shoot others. Good luck !!

This morning, July 15, your guest insulted Father Flager calling him Father Flake. I was disappointed that you, as host and moderator, did not respond to this insult. As an advocate of civil discourse, which I believe you are, please, in the future, keep the discourse civil
Thank you

I was was disappointed with the end segment about Governor Rauner “running away” from reporters. The video had no sound, no date, no way to tell what questions were being asked, as he was walking away. Seemed like propaganda to me…

Mike Flannery used to be a respectable journalist but now he tows the line for the corrupt left. How sad you are, you balding, age spotted political hack. You refuse to report on Cook County president mandate to stop putting black men in jail. You wont report on judges who refuse to put repeat offenders who skip out on bond back in jail. You, Mike Lannery are a cunt for the machine. Open up wide and take it all in, you bitch!!!!@
