On this episode of The Steve Gruber Show, Scot sits down with Steve Dulan, licensed attorney and professor, to break down a controversial new federal court ruling that says it's legal to ban guns from Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) and Metra trains. They dive into what this decision means for constitutional rights, public safety, and whether it sets a dangerous precedent for restricting lawful gun ownership in other areas of daily life.

Jak je možné, že se dobrým lidem dějí zlé věci? Jak může Bůh dopustit, aby se na světě dělo tolik špatného? Copak mu to nevadí, copak je vůči tomu slepý?To jsou zcela oprávněné otázky, které napadají jak křesťany, tak lidi jiného či žádného vyznání. Jaký pohled na tento problém nabízí Bible? Jak se můžeme s utrpením ve světě vyrovnat a jak na něj reagovat?Poslechněte si další letní téma z našeho nedělního setkání Metra, které si tentokrát připravila Klára Helánová z církve Na Cestě Brno.

Janusz Józefowicz, choreograf, reżyser, legenda teatru musicalowego w Polsce. Ale może za wcześnie na nazywanie go legendą? Na pewno legendarne jest to, że to on jest autorem tekstu słynnego „Rolowania” Nataszy Urbańskiej, to on wyhaczył na dyskotece tańczącego Michała Milowicza i to on pił z Rogerem Watersem z Pink Floyd. Ile jeszcze opowieści skrywają początku musicalu w Polsce? Dlaczego Edyta Górniak zapomniała przyjść na spektakl i nie miała z tego tytułu żadnych konsekwencji? Czy Paweł Kukiz dobrze poradził sobie na castingu do „Metra”? Rozmawiamy również o lędzinach (a może rędzinach?), słynnych filmach, w jakich zagrał i niezwykłych podróżach, jakie odbył (naprawdę brzmią jak opis filmu akcji). Kim byłby Janusz Józefowicz, gdyby nie obejrzał filmu „Hair” Miloša Formana? Tego się nie dowiemy. Ale kim jest człowiek, który stworzył w Polsce pierwszy teatr musicalowy?

This week both the deputy mayor for education Jen Johnson and mayoral communications chief Ronnie Reese separately resigned, sparking concerns that ongoing turnover in the mayor's office may be cause for worry at City Hall.
