Chicago journalist Ben Joravsky starts each show by riffing on the news of the day with his celebrated humor, insight, and honesty. Then he talks politics with activists, elected officials, journalists and all sorts of political know-it-alls. We talk Chicago, Illinois, national (lots of national), international and lefty politics. Find The Ben Joravsky Show wherever you download podcasts.
Alderman Vasquez and the Sun-Times suggest that Mayor Johnson and Governor Pritzker are being too belligerent in their anti-Trump rhetoric. And that the way to keep Trump and Homan from locking up Chicagoans or cutting off aid to Chicago is to be super nice. Like Blago. Or Mayor Adams in NYC. Ben riffs. Monroe joins in the riffing. With the north side going more conservative--or at least anti-Johnson--former progressive aldermen will be moving right. To protect their incumbency. Also, the strange story of Luigi Mangione, who's accused of killing an insurance executive in NYC. He comes from a family of Trumpers. What to make of that?
