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.
Proceeds from the Illinois gas tax are falling cause so many people are buying electric cars. What's Elon got to say about that? Ben riffs. And Monroe Anderson has a lot to say about a lot of things. Including...the lunatics have taken over the asylum. If, by asylum, you mean congress. And, if, by lunatics, you mean MAGA. Should we believe the spin out of the Washington Post that Marjorie Taylor Green has matured? Short answer--only if you're really gullible. George Santos moves to the right in the hopes that MAGA will save him. Which raises this question. Who's the bigger liar--Trump or Santos? Finally, a word or two about the Bears hiring Kevin Warren.
