Illinois' senior Senator Dick Durbin is Bill's guest this week on Take 1. Durbin talks about Donald Trump, what Israel has to change in their war with Hamas and why updating O'Hare Airport is essential. He also discusses the Bears and White Sox potential new stadiums and whether they should be taxpayer-funded, and whether or not he will run for re-election in 2026.

The reporter roundtable with Heather Cherone, Ray Long, Dave Stewart and Greg Hinz. They talked about some surprising civility in Chicago politics this past week with Clayton Harris III conceding the race for Cook County State's Attorney to Eileen O'Neill Burke without a recount and Alderman Byron Sigcho-Lopez not getting censured. Did Mike Madigan catch a break in his corruption trial? Is Bally's Chicago casino in jeopardy of not happening. And former Cook County President Dick Phelan died this past week.
