The Mincing Rascals 1.15.25: Driving test age, Trump inauguration, L.A. wildfires
Update: 2025-01-16
Description
The Mincing Rascals this week are John Williams of WGN Radio, Eric Zorn, Publisher of The Picayune Sentinel, Brandon Pope, of WCIU, political pundit Marj Halperin, and longtime Chicago journalist Cate Plys! This week the Rascals debate the proposed legislation that aims to increase the age for seniors to retake driver’s test from 79 to 87. Where are the Rascals on this controversial topic? The inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump is on Monday. Michelle Obama won’t be attending. And Speaker Mike Johnson announced that American flags at the Capitol would be temporarily raised defying a presidential order put in place last month to mourn the death of former President Jimmy Carter. What do the Rascals make of these developments? Senate confirmation hearings continue in Washington D.C. this week. What did the Rascals take away from the hearings? Wildfires devastated the Los Angeles area and a controversy erupted over the use of private firefighters. What do the Rascals think of the use of private firefighters? And shouldn’t there be places in the U.S. where people shouldn’t be allowed to live? The Indiana General Assembly is considering legislation that would adjust the state’s borders to include Illinois counties that have voted to secede. Should Illinois counties be able to secede and join Indiana? And finally, what are the Rascals *not* recommending this week. Cate didn’t like ‘Wicked,’ Brandon trashes ‘Emilia Perez,’ Marj disliked ‘Nickel Boys,’ Eric didn’t enjoy the book, “Long Island Compromise,’ and John says take a pass on ‘Squid Game.’
