The Mincing Rascals this week are John Williams of WGN Radio, Eric Zorn, publisher of The Picayune Sentinel, Steve Bertrand, host of the Steve Bertrand on Books podcast and proprietor of Steve Bertrand Travel, and Jon Hansen of WGN Radio and Block Club Chicago. This week the podcast begins with Jon Hansen’s recap of his work at the Presidents Cup golf tournament and having the opportunity to meet President Trump. Next, the Rascals discuss President Trump’s meeting with tech leaders about AI. What were the major takeaways from the meeting? And how are the Rascals feeling about the future of AI? Speaking of AI, the administration launched America.gov to simplify access to government information. Have the Rascals tried the new website yet? Locally, the Chicago City Council voted to approve a new parking meter deal. Does this new deal benefit the city? Also this week, Sen. Eric Schmitt from Missouri faced backlash after confusing the Iowa Hawkeyes with the Atlanta Hawks during a U.S. Senate hearing with former special counsel Jack Smith. What did the Rascals think of Senator Schmitt’s response to the error? The Rascals also talk about the upcoming midterm elections, the war in Iran, and how the state of the economy is impacting the GOP. Jon suggests the Democrats should move on from focusing on President Trump if they gain control of the House and Senate. Finally, it’s time for red light, yellow light, green light! What are the Rascals recommending (or not recommending) this week?
