The Mincing Rascals this week are John Williams of WGN Radio, Eric Zorn, Publisher of The Picayune SentinelAustin Berg of the Illinois Policy Institute, and political pundit Marj Halperin! This week the Rascals head to New York to start the podcast and break down Zohran Mamdani winning the Democratic mayoral primary. What do the Rascals think the win means for the Democratic party? Governor JB Pritzker will officially announce he’s running for a third term tomorrow. Will he still eventually decide to run for president in 2028? The Rascals break down JB’s political future. The United States bombed Iranian nuclear sites over the weekend and the debate continues on just how much damage was done. What do the Rascals think of the initial military action and the debate on the effectiveness of the airstrikes? The Rascals also chat about some songs that were created entirely by AI. What did the Rascals think of the quality of AI songs and how do they think AI and emerging technology will impact the music industry? And finally, it’s time for red light, yellow light, green light! What are the Rascals recommending (or not recommending) this week?
