The Mincing Rascals this week are John Williams of WGN Radio, Eric Zorn, publisher of The Picayune Sentinel, political pundit Marj Halperin, and long-time Chicago journalist Cate Plys, publisher of Roseland, Chicago: 1972. This week, the Rascals start the podcast discussing Northwestern University paying $75 million to the federal government over the next three years to to get federal funding reinstated. Do the Rascals believe Northwestern capitulated to Trump? Next, the Rascals break down the latest news about the military striking an alleged drug-trafficking boat in the Caribbean on September 2nd. Do the Rascals believe a war crime was committed? Also, how about that Cabinet meeting yesterday? Turning to some local news, what’s going on with new capacity limits at the beloved Christkindlmarket in Daley Plaza? And where are we on the Chicago budget? What will the city do to raise revenue? And as we motor towards the end of the year, it’s time to start thinking who is the Person of the Year for Chicago!
