Description

The Mincing Rascals this week are John Williams of WGN Radio, Eric Zorn, Publisher of The Picayune Sentinel, longtime Chicago journalist Cate Plys, and Brandon Pope, host of ‘On the Block‘ on WCIU! This week the Rascals kick off the podcast breaking down the nominees for President-elect Trump’s Cabinet. Do the Rascals believe these nominees will get confirmed? Next, the Rascals discuss Chicago’s ongoing budget issues and Mayor Brandon Johnson ultimately deciding not to attend Chicago Police Officer Enrique Martinez’s funeral after the family asked him not to come. Speculation is starting to gain steam on who will likely run against Mayor Johnson in 2027. What do the Rascals think of the names being talked about? And is Mayor Johnson definitely a one-term mayor? What’s the latest on CPS-CTU contract negotiations? And what does the future hold for CPS CEO Pedro Martinez. Austin gets you up to speed. And finally, the Bears. How optimistic are the Rascals about the rest of the season?
