The Mincing Rascals this week are John Williams of WGN Radio, Eric Zorn, Publisher of The Picayune Sentinel, political pundit Marj Halperin, and Cate Plys, former staff writer at the Chicago Reader and political op-ed columnist at the Sun-Times and Tribune. The Rascals kick off the podcast this week recapping last Thursday’s State of the Union. What do the Rascals think of President Biden’s performance? What about the Republican response from Alabama Senator Katie Britt? It’s officially Biden v. Trump again and Eric wonders why people are against Joe Biden when he has a pretty good legislative record. What happens when you compare former President Trump’s record with President Biden’s? Switching gears to local issues, the Rascals talk about the latest news about the Bring Chicago Home real estate transfer tax referendum including that latest Supreme Court ruling and the CTU voting rally this week that some saw as an effort to get kids to vote in favor of the referendum. And now for the biggest controversy of the week: THE PHOTOSHOPPED PICTURE OF KATE MIDDLETON! Where are the Rascals on this scandal?? And finally, what do the Rascals make of the Bears possibly looking into keeping Soldier Field on the lakefront?
