  • Rep. Kam Buckner - "Anything Goes"
    Nov 5 2024

    As America votes, the polls tell the story. Sorta. Ben riffs. Kam Buckner offers his state of the union on this day of decision. Ben gets sentimental. Kam can relate. Our ancestors are talking to us. A word or two about gaslit north siders who have been brainwashed into hating Mayor Johnson. And then a word ot two about the leaderless Bears. Would they have destroyed Patrick Mahomes had they drafted him? Kam played Big 10 football—for Illinois. And is a state representative and proud Morgan Park High School graduate.
