Great show today as our old pal John Kass drops by “the bunker’ to shoot the breeze as we talk Chicago politics, south side style. It’s been two years since Kass appeared on the show and he and Houli are laser focused on a variety of targets like Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and both agree we are now enjoying a “cultural revolution” in politics. After 38 years with the Chicago Tribune Kass left “the paper” and started up his independent JohnKassNews.com with almost daily columns enlightening readers both nationally and locally. He started as an intern with the Daily Calumet while still in college and brings his southside moxie with him as he tells us of some of Pritzker’s greatest stunts, “He broke his leg standing up!” Houli and Kass both revel in the fireworks of Chicago corruption stories of sex, politics, and money. He calls Johnson the “worst mayor in the history of bad mayors!’ Lots of fun stories from both these guys including the time the high potentate of Japan had to apologize to the people of Japan for destroying their eco-system because of some blue gills gifted to him by Mayor Richard J. Daley. Don’t miss this funny and enlightening look back from two old pals who have “heard the chimes at midnight”. More to enjoy at JohnKassNews.com and his Chicago Way podcast on WGN radio.
