Two Guys on Politics Podcast on religious curbs, Foxx’s failures, Lightfoot’s stumbles

The Two Guys on Politics podcast this week featuring former Congressman Bill Lipinski and former Chicago City Hall reporter Ray Hanania includes a lengthy discussion about how religious freedom is under assault in America. Oct. 10, 2021. Season 1, Episode 6.

The podcast, which reflects a “Reagan Democrat” perspective on issues in the news and politics, also discusses how Cook County States Attorney Kim Foxx continues to undermine law enforcement and fails to do her job, embracing policies that encourage criminals especially in Chicago. 

And Lipinski and Hanania talk about the failures of Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot who septa the first two years beating up on Chicago Police is now trying to reposition herself as a supporter of the Police as she rounds the corner to her re-election campaign. Most likely, Lightfoot will face a challenge from forces allied with Foxx, explaining why Lightfoot criticized Foxx this past week.
