The Mincing Rascals this week are John Williams of WGN Radio, Eric Zorn, Publisher of The Picayune Sentinel, longtime Chicago journalist Cate Plys, and political pundit Marj Halperin! The Rascals kick off today’s podcast talking about some Illinois politicians being denied entry to ICE facilities this week. What are these types of actions designed to accomplish? The ‘No Kings’ protests across the country took place on Saturday. What were the big takeaways from the protests? And what did the Rascals make of the military parade in Washington DC? Former ABC news correspondent Terry Moran defended his tweet that criticized Stephen Miller and President Trump saying, ‘“You don’t sacrifice your citizenship in journalism and your job is not to be objective.’ Do the Rascals agree? The Israel-Iran conflict continues on. Are the Rascals concerned about the role the U.S. is playing? The ‘snap curfew’ ordinance in Chicago passed the City Council 27-22. Do the Rascals believe Mayor Johnson will veto it? Former Illinois Speaker of the House Mike Madigan was sentenced to 90 months in prison. Do the Rascals think the sentence was fair? And finally, it’s time for red light, yellow light, green light. What are the Rascals recommending (or not recommending) this week.
