Governor J.B. Pritzker

I mean, it's what we would be able to do, but it's not good enough. And that's why we've got to go out, all of us, and fight like heck. One more thing. The people who will lose their health care as a result of what they're trying to do in the House budget, Many of them are Republicans. Indeed, I think about half in Illinois. And we're not a 50-50 Democrat-Republican state.

But half the people who would lose Medicaid as a result of that would be people who live in Republican districts. And they're typically they are Republicans, rural Americans who have most often voted for Donald Trump. didn't know when they voted for him this last time that they'd be losing their health care. So I don't know what to say.

I mean, I'm frustrated as heck by this because if I had the resources available, of course, I would put that back in place and make sure that people are not harmed anymore. by what the congressional Republicans and Donald Trump are doing.

Last thing on this topic, which is, or at least for me, Donald Trump says, he keeps saying, oh, no, he's not going to hurt, you know, he's not going to cut Medicaid, Medicare or Social Security. Well, meanwhile, indeed, he endorsed the Republican plan in the House that would cut Medicaid. So he's lying. I mean, I don't think that's a surprise to a lot of people. He's lying.

But if he's lying about Medicaid, is he lying about Medicare and Social Security? Probably. We don't know yet, but you ought to be awfully suspicious.

Yeah, and I think it's OK to talk about the inefficiencies.

I, you know, admit that government, listen, I've seen it. I was in business before I became governor. I, you know, now I'm in charge of a government and I can tell you that there are inefficiencies everywhere. And, you know, waste, fraud and abuse, as people like to talk about it, it exists for sure. And we're always trying to root it out.

But unlike, you know, using a chainsaw the way that Elon Musk talks about and just you know, cutting programs entirely. Instead, what you need to do, and this is the hard work of governing, by the way, is you need to go into the agencies and task the people who are running the agencies with finding the areas of inefficiency. and in effectiveness.
