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.
We've got a mayoral debate to review. But first...Ben has a few things to say about lawyers dumb enough to take on Donald Trump as a client. And then...the debate! Dr. D has all the clips from last night's televised debate that are worth hearing. Well, at least the clips in which one candidate insults another. Crime, police, mental health and the Bears are just a few of the topics that we look at. Bottom line--Brandon Johnson stakes out the left. Paul Vallas goes for the MAGA vote. Lori Lightfoot tries not to run against herself. And Chuy Garcia goes for the middle of the road.
