I have heart surgery coming up next week and now understand why I’ve been so physically exhausted and out-of-sorts these past few months. The docs tell me my condition is called “atrial functional tricuspid regurgitation” and that it is “mainly due to long standing atrial fibrillation… The tricuspid valve is leaking severely, causing a back pressure on all the internal organs and a high jugular venous pressure.” The procedure aims to get this old body back on the road again quickly and efficiently. It is VERY LOW RISK but of course I’m grateful for any good wishes sent my way. I’m in the midst of writing a new book, the best work I’ve ever done, and I’m not going to let this stop me! I said yes to the linked podcast now, rather than after my procedure, for reasons that I explain during the interview:

🚨 BREAKING: The Chief of Chicago Police is being praised nationwide for the moment he STOOD WITH ICE instead of the Left
"Let me make this CLEAR! Federal agents, ICE, HSI, are officers. They are agents of law enforcement."
"If you box them in...plow a VEHICLE, you're using DEADLY FORCE. And THEY can use deadly force in response to stop YOU!"
"We need to be clear about these laws. We cannot become a society where we just decide to take everything in our own hands and start to commit crimes against law enforcement!"
"It is a crime. You may not like what they're doing. I can understand that there's a lot of emotions out there, but that does NOT mean that you get to commit a crime, especially one that could lead to deadly force."
"We need to keep everyone safe. Our responsibilities when it comes to federal agents, and I've been asked these questions, we do not interfere with the duties and responsibilities of federal agents."
This is literally just common sense.
Every single police chief should be saying this. This is DEEP BLUE CHICAGO!
