Gov. JB Pritzker

But, you know, I don't want to give too many words around it, except to say that I am deeply concerned about what's happening to the country and I'm doing everything I can.

with the platform that I have to speak out about it.

You know, indeed, I would say that, you know, a lot of, maybe you heard about a year ago, I think it got a lot of national play when I talked about defending Illinois and the fact that we're living in a world that looks a whole lot like the early 30s in Germany.

Yeah.

And, you know, people on the right, you know, attacked me and said, how dare you?

How dare you?

People on the left were quiet and didn't back it up.

Now, what do you know?

You know, 12 months later, well, a lot more people anyway among Democrats are saying, yeah, this feels like Germany in the 1930s.

And, of course, Republicans just won't own it.

But look, I'm about defending my state and defending the country and doing everything that I can in my power.

I grew up.

believing that that's an obligation that we all have defending democracy, defending this country, and especially defending it against attacks on civil rights and human rights.

Well, it is hard to separate all those things.

I mean, uh, you know, dementia Don was, was on all on, on Twitter all last night, uh, attacking, uh, on the subject of Greenland, everybody that he could think of.

Uh, and, uh, and of course he's, what is his obsession with the Nobel peace prize?

He's never going to win it because honestly, although he says he's stopped all these wars, he started more wars and made tensions in the world much worse than they were.

Uh,

But I guess he's just desperate to be recognized for something.

But I do think there is something wrong with him.
