Full Episode
Governor J.B. Pritzker of Illinois just brought the House down in New Hampshire in what may have been the most powerful speech so far of the political season. It was a call to action. Let me show you what went down. Governor Pritzker says we need to be done with trying to find optimism in the motivations of these Republicans. They are bad people. They hate America. It's time that we fight.
Watch this right here.
It's time for us to be done with optimism about their motives or their objectives. Time to stop wondering if you can trust the nuclear codes to people who don't know how to organize a group chat. It's time to stop ignoring the hypocrisy and wearing a big gold cross while announcing the defunding of children's cancer research. And time to stop thinking that we can reason or negotiate with a madman.
Time to stop apologizing when we were not wrong. Time to stop surrendering when we need to fight. Our small businesses don't deserve to be bankrupted by unsustainable tariffs. Our retirees don't deserve to be left destitute by a Social Security administration decimated by Elon Musk. Our citizens don't deserve to lose health care coverage because Republicans want to hand a tax cut to billionaires.
Our federal workers don't deserve to have, well, a 19-year-old doge bro called Big Balls destroy their careers. Autistic kids and adults who are loving contributors to our society don't deserve to be stigmatized by a weird nepo baby who once stashed the dead bear in the backseat of his car.
Our military service members don't deserve to be told by a washed up Fox TV commentator who drank too much and committed sexual assault before being appointed Secretary of Defense that they can't serve their country simply because they're black or gay or a woman. And if it sounds like I'm becoming contemptuous of Donald Trump and the people that he has elevated, it's because I am.
You should be too. They're an affront to every value this country was founded upon.
Next up, Governor Pritzker talks about how all of these Trump lackeys, these Trump minions, the Trump cabinet, they are failures as human beings. They are failures in life and they are dangerous individuals. Here, play this clip.
But because of Donald Trump's xenophobia, we've seen foreign students already choosing not to attend our universities and being told to leave. Businesses from overseas are afraid to invest their money here and to bring their executives to our shores. Scientists are choosing to innovate in European laboratories instead of American ones, already in just 100 days.
