In this episode your hosts Hermene Hartman and Shannon Peoples speak with Erick Johnson, a reporter for the Chicago Crusader, Stephanie Trussell, an unapologetic republican and radio talk show host, and Garry McCarthy, a former police Superintendent of the Chicago Police Department and candidate for Chicago mayor. In this episode we discuss the changing world of local and national politics. We touch on current political issues such as the teachers strike and the recent controversy surrounding the selection of Chicago’s new police chief. We explore various issues concerning how politics influences how things get done and who gets selected for the job. Stephanie Trussell explains why she supports Donald Trump and how her experience with Hillary supporters converted her into an unapologetic republican. She goes on to describe what aspects of her community and our country at large are, in her view, better off under Trump. Together we explore black issues and which of the current presidential candidates might serve our country most appropriately.
