Update: 2025-10-08
Description
The Mincing Rascals this week are Jon Hansen of WGN Radio and Block Club Chicago, Eric Zorn, publisher of The Picayune Sentinel, Austin Berg, Executive Director of the Chicago Policy Center and the The Last Ward, and multi-media journalist Brandon Pope, author of Brandon Pope’s Screening Room. The Rascals begin the podcast talking about the Cook County Sheriff’s Office stepping up enforcement for illegally riding on expressway shoulders. The Rascals offer their suggestions on what the punishment should be for illegally driving on the shoulder. The Texas National Guard arrived in the Chicago area this week. What is the most concerning aspect of this move by the Trump administration? And where do we go from here? Jesse Jackson Jr. is launching bid to return to Congress after serving 30 months in prison for campaign finance fraud. Do the Rascals think he has a chance to win the race? Today, Rolling Stone released their ‘Best Songs of the 21st century’ list. The Rascals debate the choices. And finally, it’s time for red light, yellow light, green light. What are the Rascals recommending (or not recommending) this week?
