let's meet the governors we have with us tonight illinois governor j.b pritzker we have minnesota governor tim walls we have massachusetts governor maura healey and we have new york governor kathy hokal the midas touch network viewers and subscribers to our sub stack submitted video questions to the governors we will be showing shortly and asking them to respond but first I want to give each governor, starting with Governor Pritzker, the opportunity to make an opening remark to the American people. Governor Pritzker, what is your assessment of Trump's first 100 days in office and what are you doing in response?
What is Governor JB Pritzker's assessment of Trump's first 100 days?
Well, thanks, Ben. And I'm so excited to be, especially with my friends, the fellow governors and with you, Ben. I think all of us are deeply, deeply concerned about what's happening across the country. And, of course, 100 days in, it's been, well, a disastrous administration for the American people. Essentially, we've seen Donald Trump do exactly the opposite of what he said he was going to do. And 100 days in, we've seen prices go up. We've seen, you know, it's hard to buy a car, hard to buy a house. Your tomatoes, lettuce and beer at the grocery store, prices have gone up. And, of course, when he promised that he was going to bring peace to Ukraine and around the world, the opposite has happened. There have been, you know, more attacks on our friends and our allies.
and more involvement by the United States military across the world. And then finally, I just say that the rights of our friends and family, our neighbors, American citizens across this great country, are being taken away. And I gave a speech on Sunday night talking about, well, in part about habeas corpus, about the government doesn't have a right to just make you disappear or snatch you off the street without giving you the right to a hearing. And we're seeing that happening to legal residents of the United States. And now we've seen it happen to U.S. citizens. So I'm deeply concerned about what the next hundred days and frankly, the next thousand days will be like.
How is Governor Tim Walz responding to Trump's administration?
Governor Walz, your assessment of Trump's first 100 days, and what are you doing in response?
Well, yeah, thank you, Ben. And to my fellow governors, I couldn't be more proud than to be with these folks that are taking that fight. Look, I don't think any of us are surprised. This is where Donald Trump ended up. It's what he said, and he's carrying those things out. I think for us here in Minnesota, guidance to my team and to the administration and to folks who care, and that's a lot of folks taking to the streets, we protect the most vulnerable and we protect our gains. We have an opportunity to prove a different way of governing, governing that improves lives, whether that's providing food for children or making sure our folks are covered with healthcare. have access to free college and some help owning homes. Those are the things that people are looking for. So look, Trump is a disaster, which we knew he would. I think it gives us an opportunity. And what you're seeing is people rising up and showing that there's a better way. We can govern with compassion. We can govern with a sense of vision and innovation, and we can govern effectively.
So I think here in Minnesota, we're continuing to show that there's a better and a different way to do this. We collaborate with these governors that are on with me tonight and others across the country to ways that we can make sure that we're continuing to show as many people as that is possible. And so this thing's going to get a little bit bumpy, but I think you're seeing right now folks are turning out. I do want to give a huge shout out to, I got neighbors. These states are my neighbors, but Our Canadian neighbors, they know that this is wrong. They stood up to it. It provides a lot of momentum coming out of the Wisconsin special Supreme Court election.
