A city government and even the state government or a federal government has to do three things.

Has to provide security, has to give educational opportunities to children, and has to provide economic opportunity for all people.

The city of Chicago is failing in all three of those

and that's what's coming to America should they get control of our federal government.

This is the Daily Signal Podcast for Monday, August 19th.

I'm your host Rob Bluey, and that was the voice of John Tillman,

CEO of the American Culture Project and Chairman of the Illinois Policy Institute.

With the Democratic National Convention starting today in Chicago, I spoke with Tillman about what

to expect in the windy city.

From his vantage point in Illinois, he's had an up close view of the destructive policies pursued

by the city's progressive Democrats and the devastating consequences that have resulted for residents who live there.

Ever the optimist, Tillman believes the tide is turning and shares some examples to prove his point.

And speaking of Chicago, you'll want to keep tabs on the Daily Signals coverage of the Convention this week.

My colleagues, Tim Kennedy and Tony Kinnet will be there to report on what's happening,

along with the rest of the team who will be following the events each night. Now stay tuned for

our interview right after this. The Heritage Foundation is the most effective

conservative policy organization in the country. Every semester our interns are a vital part of that mission.

We pay competitively, we develop talent,

and we give our interns access to some of the sharpest minds in the country. We're going on offense, so
