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.
Have we finally, at long last, reached the beginning of the end of the MAGA craze, when America says, you know, maybe it's not a good idea to let a demented authoritarian run the country. With Trump playing the role of Senator McCarthy and Jimmy Kimmel playing the role of Edward R. Murrow? Ben riffs. Congresswoman Robin Kelly explains why she thinks progressives should vote for her in the Democratic primary to replace Senator Durbin. Also, Robin's take on the congressional leadership of Congressman Hakeem Jeffries and Senator Charles Schumer. And her position on gun laws and health care. And her thoughts about Trump--and more. Robin Kelly is the congresswoman for the second congressional district and a candidate for U.S. Senate.
