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, Brandon Pope, host of ‘On the Block‘ on WCIU, and Cate Plys, former staff writer at the Chicago Reader and political op-ed columnist at the Sun-Times and Tribune. The Rascals start off today’s podcast talking about Mayor Johnson’s decision to end the ShotSpotter contract. What do the Rascals think about the decision? Special Prosecutor Robert Hur’s report investigating President Joe Biden’s handling of classified documents contained some damaging information on the president’s memory. So, what will come from the report? Will President Biden step aside? Should President Biden step aside? How are the democrats doing damage control on the questions about Biden’s age? The Illinois Senate is proposing legislation that would give mentally capable patients who are terminally ill an option of ending their own lives. Where are the Rascals on this legislation? DTom Suozzi won a special election in New York to replace disgraced former congressman George Santos to give the democrats an additional seat in Congress. Do the Rascals think that victory has broader implications for the November election? And finally, let’s talk Oscar movies. Last week, the Rascals shared their thoughts on ‘Barbie.’ This week, the Rascals break down ‘The Holdovers’ and ‘Maestro.’
