Mayor Johnson and his Board of Ed think it’s a good idea to fire Pedro Martinez. Ben riffs. Marc Sims talks race and politics in Chicago. Also explains why mainstreamers have turned him against the mayor. “They control his narrative.” So true. Marc sorta defends north side liberals. Key word being sorta. Marc is host of the podcast, Just A Few Questions.
