The Mincing Rascals 4.23.25: Durbin retiring, Pritzker’s political future, economic turmoil


Listen Later

The Mincing Rascals this week are John Williams of WGN Radio, Eric Zorn, Publisher of The Picayune Sentinel, Brandon Pope, of WCIUAustin Berg of the Illinois Policy Institute (sign up for his new Substack!), and political pundit Marj Halperin! The Rascals start today’s podcast discussing Senator Dick Durbin announcing that he won’t seek another term. Who do the Rascals believe is likely to make a run for his seat? And what will Durbin’s legacy be? The Rascals also discuss Governor JB Pritzker’s political future. Is Pritzker ready to make a run for president? The markets are having another seesaw week so the Rascals talk about how the new administration has been handling the economy. And what about the day-to-day chaos? What is sticking out the most to the Rascals right now? Finally, it’s time for red light, yellow light, green light. What are the Rascals recommending or not recommending this week?
