A while back I wrote a column about Brandon Johnson, Mayor of Chicago, freaking out and having panic attacks.

And I used Edvard Munk's The Scream to illustrate it, but there's no gobbled good coming from Austin Berg

of the Illinois Policy Institute

who's watching his every move.

And Austin's here on the Chicago way. So where are you? As Johnson predals on about

speech after speech gobbledygook after gobbledygook covering it up it's like Bartholomew and the

oobleck the story when I was a little boy of a little child covered in

oobleck green oobleck you're on the Chicago way with me, John Cass, of John Cass News, Jeff Carlin, executive

producer W. G.N. Radio and of course Austin Berg of the Illinois Policy Institute.

So this is a guy who lives high on the hog and he has this Tammany Hall style attitude

to power and it is it's the Chicago way absolutely.

Look the Chicago way is a deep cultural phenomenon.

It's the Chicago way. The Chicago Way. That's the focus.

In a tower by the river, there lived a man.

There was a man who took a stand, with pen and paper in his hand,

defeating foes in every ward with a pen more mighty than the sword.

No escape from his ink lasso in a tower by the river, Castle.

He pulls a knife. Castle. And here we are with Austin Berg from the Illinois Policy Institute.

Welcome Austin, how's it going today?

It's going great. Thanks for having me on guys.

Yeah, you're having a much better day than Brandon Johnson.

I can assure you that.
