The Dan Bongino Show · JB Pritzker Has Big, Fat Presidential Ambitions | Episode 32 · 29 Apr 2025 podcast

So when the time comes to try and rack up the electoral votes when he runs, it's going to be those very folks that he's out right now seeding the fields, dropping millions of dollars into their coffers. And when the time comes two years ago or two years from now, he's going to say, hey, remember I was there. I did those speeches. I gave you that money. I'm running for office.

President, I'm going to need your electoral votes to nominate me for the for the for the primary. That's what it is.

Yeah.

Yes, it is. I mean, already the lieutenant governor, Ms. Stratton, has already declared that she's going to run for that Senate spot. And J.B. Pritzker has already given her his his basic endorsement for her to run for that seat. That kind of tells everybody else, hey, don't mess around here. This is who we want to be a senator.

You know, the Democrats in our state, in our county, in our city are notorious for giving what's called a absence choice. You know, they put people into primaries. They put Democrats in the primaries that are preordained and preseasoned.

The Democrats themselves don't realize that Democrat voters, but they never really have a true choice of who they get to pick to be their Democrat candidate for all these various, various selected spots from governor all the way down to alderman. It's really unique. And I can add a little bit of nugget.

The thing about politics is that we have very short memories, but people don't remember who the big culprit was, along with the then Governor Blagojevich. It was J.D. Pritzker that was trying to buy the U.S., the Barack Obama vacated U.S. Senate seat. There is copious hours of undercover tape because it was all taped by the government. Plagojevich went to jail for it. But it was J.B.

Pritzker who was on the other side of that phone negotiating to buy it, to buy the U.S. Senate seat back then. People need to take a look and remember that. That was some interesting dialogue. He disparaged the minorities. He disparaged African-Americans. I'm talking about Governor Pritzker did. His own words. Go back and review some of that tape. It would be very surprising.

So what do you know, Vince, as far as Durbin himself, 44 years, 44 years between U.S. Congress and U.S. Senate. And what does the state of Illinois have to show for it? Much further in debt, much bigger bloated, terrible infrastructure in our roads and bridges. Mental health again was gutted. Veteran home was gutted. He's a U.S. Senator and Tammy Duckworth is still there.

What have they done for the state of Illinois? What have they done for the residents of Illinois? When he announced, you should have seen the local media. It was as though the Pope himself said that he was going to step back.

all platitudes all platitudes and i said hey that's great 44 years but what have you done in those 44 years yeah so if we're going to just put the same ideology the same the same preset into a new senator what's the point nothing's going to change so okay last one on this what are the chances that a republican can actually prevail because last time illinois had a republican senator was mark kirk uh what what are the chances that a republican here could take that seat do you think it's possible

As it pertains to Illinois, it's a great question because there's two ways. We've had mass gerrymandering. In fact, there's a current lawsuit going on. But gerrymandering really affects our state house, our state senate, and our U.S. Congress. A lawsuit was filed with the federal court six weeks ago. I have very high hopes that they're going to change that.

But as it pertains to statewide offices, here's another interesting thing. And I'll tie Governor Pritzker to that as well. Governor Pritzker in Illinois politics has spent roughly about $600 million of his own wealth. on his own races, on trying to defeat those that were running in the Republican primary two years ago against him.

He spent nearly $75 million alone to knock out strong candidates that could challenge him. And he spread the same amount of money around throughout all many different local races, senators, state reps, all that kind of stuff in Illinois. So nearly just under $600 million of his own money, okay? Donald Trump has never spent a penny in Illinois because it's a flyover state.

We're a predominant Democrat state, okay? So nearly $600 million spread in a state by a person, zero spread by a person. Donald Trump in this last election got 48,000 more votes in the state of Illinois than J.B. Pritzker has ever gotten in his two elections. Why am I saying that? There are absolute voter proven absolute paths to good statewide candidates to retake statewide governments.

The governor, the treasurer, the secretary of state, all those races that are going to come up in two years. Republicans can actually win those races numerically speaking based off of just a recent election less than six months ago.

All right.

I appreciate the opportunity. Thank you, sir. All right. And let's see.

Not too bad.

This is the time for us to put principles over the party. Principles over parties, right? It reminds me, I think that was a powerful moment for us. Reminds me of the letter that Ulysses Grant was supposed to have sent at the start of the Civil War.
