The Mincing Rascals this week are John Williams of WGN Radio, Eric Zorn, publisher of The Picayune SentinelJon Hansen of WGN Radio and Block Club Chicago, and Steve Bertrand, host of the ‘Steve Bertrand on Books‘ podcast. This week, the Rascals start the podcast discussing the Supreme Court hearing oral arguments on President Trump’s effort to end birthright citizenship. Why is this issue so important to President Trump? And what do the Rascals think of President Trump sitting in on the arguments? Speaking of President Trump, his effort to put his name on things continues. What do the Rascals think of naming things for politicians who are still alive? The Rascals also debate if President Trump will try to cancel or delegitimize the midterm elections. And will the Democrats rally behind a singular message? Next, the Rascals discuss the murder of Loyola student Sheridan Gorman. Is it fair to say that Gorman would still be alive if Trump was in office rather than Joe Biden? Sports is also on the mind this week as MLB has incorporated ABS (automated ball-strike system) into games. Are the Rascals on board with the new technology? Also, Eric suggests 7 things that would improve the game basketball.
