0:00.0 | I worked with our guest today's guest Ray Hannania for years at City Hall. He was the City Hall |
0:06.3 | writer for the South Town for the Chicago Sun Times and I was at the Daily Calumet and then |
0:12.8 | later the Chicago Tribune. Nobody gave us a silver spoon. Nobody protected us or worried about |
0:19.5 | our feelings. Nobody said, Ray, John, are you okay? How are you feeling today? Are you okay? Nobody. |
0:28.3 | They might call us a racist. They might say we are not fit for public consumption, |
0:34.7 | but we are reporters, City Hall reporters. And Ray has written a column that he sent to me and I |

2:12.9 | Chicago roll up into a fetal position and ask the cops to roll up in a fetal position and just let |
2:20.1 | chaos and aggression take over. And this where we're at right now with Ray Hannanilla and my good friend |
