The Mincing Rascals 7.2.25: Trump tax bill, Paramount settlement, birthright citizenship, One Fair Wage
Update: 2025-07-02
Description
The Mincing Rascals this week are John Williams of WGN Radio, Eric Zorn, Publisher of The Picayune Sentinel, Austin Berg of the Illinois Policy Institute, Jon Hansen of WGN Radio and Block Club Chicago, and political pundit Marj Halperin! This week, the Rascals star the show talking about President Trump’s tax and policy bill. The Rascals break down the latest. Do the Rascals believe this bill will pass? And do the Rascals think this bill will backfire on Republicans who are voting yes? Next, the Rascals talk about Paramount agreeing to pay $16 million to settle a lawsuit brought by President Donald Trump that had alleged an interview that aired on “60 Minutes” with Kamala Harris, was edited to favor Harris. Eric says he will now refuse to watch CBS. Last week, the Supreme Court sided with President Trump in a birthright citizenship case. Austin explains why this is a really bad ruling. The city of Chicago is increasing the minimum wage for tipped workers. Do the Rascals like the One Fair Wage ordinance in general? And will this impact how you tip your server? Block Club is reporting that a few local politicians would like ICE agents to not be allowed to wear masks. Do the Rascals like this idea? And finally, it’s time for red light, yellow light, green light! What are the Rascals recommending (or not recommending) this week?
