Two Guys on Politics: discuss the FTX Bitcoin collapse, Chicago Elections and who will be the GOP candidate for President, with tributes to JFK and Tim Degnan
S2 E44, 11-22-22 Tuesday
In a live broadcast on Facebook, former Congressman Bill Lipinski, Brian Broeking and former Chicago City Hall reporter Ray Hanania will discuss FTX Bitcoin collapse, Chicago Elections and who will be the GOP candidate for President.
Topics include a discussion about the collapse of FTX Bitcoin, comparisons to Bernie Madoff and the impact the collapse of the $4 billion FTX fund will have on the challenges of making bitcoin cyber currency mainstream.
(29 MINUTE MARK)
Also discussed is the upcoming Chicago Mayor to unseat failed Mayor Lori Lightfoot. Praise for Ald. Raymond Lopez for putting Chicago first above his own self-interests, to make Chicago a better city, compared to Congressman Jesus "Chuy" Garcia who has entered the race in what critics believe is a self-promotion opportunity to help himself rather than the city. With Lopez leaving the race, some of the leading candidates include Dr. Willie Wilson and Paul Vallas. Wilson has the money but needs a stronger campaign team focus, while Vallas has the brains and ideas but lacks the campaign skills to move voter.
(42 MINUTE MARK)
Remembering the JFK assassination and the memories of that traumatic, 59 years ago today.

And there is a discussion about who will run for President on the Republican side. Will there be a substantive challenge to former President Donald Trump. Mike Pence, the former Vice President, is a weak contender. And what about the Democratic side, who will win.

The discuss turns briefly to the Ukraine War and the errant missile that struck Poland with all agreeing that regardless of where the missile came from, Russia and Vladimir Putin are responsible for all the death and destruction.

The show ends with a tribute to Tim Degnan, the former Chicago Streets and Sanitation commissioner who rose to be one of former Richard M. Daley's most trusted and brilliant advisors. Degnan passed away this week.
