The Mincing Rascals 1.22.25: Birthright citizenship, J6 pardons, controversial puppet display

The Mincing Rascals

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, and longtime Chicago journalist Cate Plys! The Rascals kick off the podcast discussing the first days of the Trump presidency. The news is coming fast and furious, but what stood out most to the Rascals? Members of the Chicago City Council are demanding the removal of a puppet display at the Cultural Center saying it is antisemitic. What do the Rascals make of this new controversy? The Rascals end the podcast with their recommendations. What should you be watching (after listening to this podcast, of course) right now?
