The Mincing Rascals this week are John Williams of WGN Radio, Eric Zorn, publisher of The Picayune Sentinel, Austin Berg, Executive Director of the Chicago Policy Center and author of the The Last Ward, and Jon Hansen of WGN Radio and Block Club Chicago. This week, the Rascals kick off the podcast with ‘News or Noise.’ What are the news stories that are worth paying attention to? And what are the stories that are just a distraction? Eric says we should be paying attention to Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene announcing that she’s resigning from Congress. Jon wants to talk about the meeting between President Trump and New York mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani. Austin reminds us that President Trump likes winners and that’s what contributed to the ‘love fest.’ John thinks the U.S. striking alleged drug boats in the Caribbean Sea and Pacific Ocean is a story we should be watching. Over the weekend, President Trump doubled down on his sedition accusation over a video released by some Democratic lawmakers. Is that a serious threat or just some more noise? And where are we on the Epstein files? Closer to home, it was 10 years ago today the Laquan McDonald tape was released. Looking back, what are the main takeaways from the release of the video? Austin catches us up on two Chicago Public School stories: CPS employees spent $23.6 million in tax dollars on lavish vacations at 5-star hotels and overseas trips, and the U.S. House Committee on Education and the Workforce sent a formal demand letter to Chicago Teachers Union President Stacy Davis Gates wanting the last five years of CTU audits. A new, independent poll for the Democratic primary in the 9th Congressional District race has Daniel Biss and Kat Abughazaleh tied for first place. Do the Rascals give Abughazaleh a chance? And finally, it’s time for a Thanksgiving version of red light, yellow light, green light.
