Governor J.B. Pritzker

members of the judiciary who will do the right thing.

There are elected officials that will do the right thing.

You're starting to see that some of the MAGA Republicans are stepping back and saying, wait a minute, this isn't what we wanted.

This isn't what we voted for.

And it's because people are speaking out.

You know, I have a t-shirt that says, be loud for America.

because that is what it's going to take.

And you're seeing it.

I'm so happy and proud of the people of Illinois, people who never protested before, have never been out there doing anything.

They came out of their suburban homes with whistles to blow the whistle on these ICE and CBP officers because they were violating people's civil rights.

And I guess my message to people is,

This is the moment.

If you're ever going to stand up for America, if you believe in the concept and the Constitution and the concept of freedom, this is the moment for you to stand up and show your patriotism.

and that's what i would ask people to do and it's working it's working but we need more people to stand up and speak out you saw it at the no kings rallies but now we're just talking about in everyday life look look at minnesota but you're seeing you know people in new orleans you're seeing people in memphis places where you might not have expected it

People are upset about what's happening and more and more impetus, I think, for the American people to just take a little bit of time and effort and speak your mind about standing up for your civil rights and for the future of our country.

Thanks, Ben.

It's true that the president says things, and sometimes he follows through on those threats, and he certainly has the power of the presidency.

He does not have the power to overcome the Constitution.

And so am I afraid?

I am not afraid.
