The Mincing Rascals this week are John Williams of WGN Radio, long-time Chicago journalist Cate Plys, publisher of Roseland, Chicago: 1972, political pundit Marj Halperin, and Steve Bertrand, host of the ‘Steve Bertrand on Books‘ podcast. This week, the Rascals start the podcast discussing the U.S. attack on Iran. Do the Rascals think the attack was warranted? Next, the Rascals talk about DHS Secretary Kristi Noem appearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee and saying that she was unaware of Marimar Martinez, the Chicago woman who was shot by a federal agent. What do the Rascals make of Secretary Noem’s testimony. Switching over to national politics, the Rascals break down the U.S. Senate primary election in Texas. What were the Rascals biggest takeaways for the results? Former Presidents Clinton, Obama, and Biden will attend the Chicago memorial for Jesse Jackson. How should the city of Chicago honor the late civil rights icon? Should they rename Jackson Park? Midway Airport? Also this week, it was announced that Amazon drones will start delivering packages in a couple of the south suburbs. The Rascal debate the merits of the Amazon drones and the delivery robots that have been seen on Chicago streets. And finally, it’s time for red light, yellow light, green light. What are the Rascals recommending (or not recommending) this week?
