Mayor Lightfoot, CarJackings and boredom, and update on Ukraine plus the culture of smoking

This week’s Season 2, Episode 6 “Two Guys on Politics” podcast, taped on Feb. 10, 2022, looks at how COVID is being used as an excuse for everything from rising prices to even crime, including carjackings and boredom, and also explores rising tensions between Russia and the United States on Ukraine. 

Hosts Ray Hanania and Bill Lipinski also discuss the powerful impact that smoking cigarettes had on their lives and the factors involved in how society and Hollywood promoted smoking targeting young people throughout most of the 20th Century.
