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 (sign up for his new Substack !), longtime Chicago journalist Cate Plys , and political pundit Marj Halperin ! The Rascals begin the podcast discussing the odds that Governor Pritzker becomes president, former governor Rod Blagojevich makes a run for Illinois senator, or Lt. Governor Juliana Stratton takes Senator Durbin’s seat. Eric explains why he is upset that Governor Pritzker and Senator Duckworth already put their fingers on the scale in favor of Stratton in the race to replace Senator Durbin. But what about Pritzkers’ fiery speech in New Hampshire over the weekend? A news story broke earlier this week that suggested Amazon was going to display tariff costs on items. A few hours later, Amazon said that was never the plan. Will Jeff Bezos ultimately decide to display tariff costs? President Trump did an interview with ABC news where he discussed tourism, tariffs, and the detainment of Abrego Garcia. What were the big takeaways from the interview? The Chicago Teachers Union is encouraging students and staff to miss school for a political rally. Austin gets us up to speed on the controversy. Legislation is pending in Illinois that would ban large retailers from using single-use plastic or styrofoam. What do the Rascals think of the proposed legislation? And finally, it’s time for red light, yellow light, green light! What are the Rascals recommending (or not recommending) this week? https://serve.castfire.com/audio/7392715/4-30-25_Mincing_Rascals_Trump_100_Amazon_Tariffs_Durbin_vacancy_plastic_ban_2025-04-30-230515.64kmono.mp3 Recent Posts The Mincing Rascals Trump 100 days, Durbin’s successor, Amazon tariffs .cls-7{fill:#fff;fill-rule:evenodd} Durbin retiring, Pritzker’s future, economic turmoil .cls-7{fill:#fff;fill-rule:evenodd} Teen curfew, homeschool bill, Kilmar Ábrego García .cls-7{fill:#fff;fill-rule:evenodd} Tariff reversal, Hands Off protest, driver exam age .cls-7{fill:#fff;fill-rule:evenodd} Election recap, CTU-CPS deal, tariff announcement .cls-7{fill:#fff;fill-rule:evenodd} Click for more…
