Ted joined Tom Miller of WJPF Carbondale to talk about the fact that Illinois is one of the biggest losers of population, the state’s coming budget deficits, the $172 billion in pension debt Illinois owes, the potential for politicians to try again for a progressive tax, why Pritzker opposing Trump is such a bad idea, and more.

- As population woes continue, Illinois’ loss of congressional seats could accelerate
A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
Audio and summary 
If this bill passes, say goodbye to local control over all Illinois parks and expect to see open drug and alcohol use, needles, no sanitation and fire hazards, but no ordinary park users.
Pritzker is the typical narcissistic egomaniac politician. He likes politics because it feeds his ego and fills his pocketbook by legal and illegal means. And the idiotic voters in Illinois will keep electing him! Illinois is a joke!
Idiotic voters from Cook County
and 6 or 7 other counties in the state. 95% of the remaining counties would love to give pritzger and his democrat posse a swift kick in his oversized rump.
The Illinois citizenry are simply cannon fodder for Pritzker’s Presidential Dreams. Nothing will stop JB from spending obscene and unlimited piles of Illinois taxpayer money to fund and polish his 2028 Presidential Campaign Resume. The only thing that will stop JB is financial collapse and default with no Federal bail-out of Illinois, Cook County and Chicago.
Two words every American should fear, really fear………President Pritzger
The democrats failed miserably on Nov.5, 2024 because of their immoral anti American, anti-Semitic, anti-humane policies. They lost miserably because normal people are fed up with dealing with schizophrenics who pretend being just liberal leftists and focused on the most disgusting pretend abnormal behaviors of a limited segment of the population. Their base consists of indoctrinated single females, sort of educated but in reality completely crazy, bored, unclaimed and unhappy. Pritzker is a maniac, murderer and a disgrace to his Jewish mother. He must be punished for all the damage and pain he caused while in power that he was… Read more »
What doesn’t Pritzker understand the progressive state and policies are slowly coming to an end, we the people sent a loud and clear message this election. It will take time to fix the damage done but I firmly believe America is again becoming great. Republicans we put are faith in you Do Not F it up please, people of America keep fighting. Pritzker you will be voted out of office you have gone to far, If Donald Duck runs I will vote for him.
75,000,000 people voted for the most progressive presidential candidate ever even after she said she wanted the government to pay for sex-change operations for illegal immigrants in prison. 75,000,000 people. Progressive policies aren’t coming to an end, they are just regrouping. We will be fighting these communists for the rest of our lives and our great-grand children’s lives. It is this way because Lincoln didn’t destroy the Democrat party when he had the chance in 1865 and its come back to haunt the country with a vengeance.
I firmly believe there is going to be a big shift across the board people are fed up. It will take time. I’m extremely positive for what is about to come.
Absolutely correct. Anyone who thinks it will be easy for Republicans to retain their soon to be enjoyed power is delusional. As Biden’s victory in 2020 demonstrated, the extreme leftist movement funded by Soros were able to get an incapacitated lifetime underperformer elected. They’ll do it again if Republicans don’t execute flawlessly. I want to take a few minutes to enjoy what was accomplished in the recent election, but people should remember it took a thoroughly disliked, incompetent DEI candidate combined with an awful inflation record and shortened campaign to lose the election. If the Dems put up a non… Read more »
I hope he spends billions of your tax dollars fighting to keep all the illegals that are there. Spend billions more on killing your children. After all, you slaves can afford it and he really doesn’t care what happens to you anyway. You wouldn’t want to have him remove more toilets from one of his mansions.
I see JB just bought an apartment for $19M in the Gold Coast. From Ken Griffin — billionaire on the way up, creating jobs and wealth for his community — to JB — billionaire heir / parasite squandering his family fortune on vanity while he destroys Illinois. It’s classic, like some 1940s allegorical movie about the rot of a city.
JB Pritzker should read the piece in WaPo- if Democrats want to win elections, step 1 is to fix the blue states they already govern. Of course, the problem is that Dem policies don’t work, so they are in a bit of a pickle.
pritzker is highly arrogant and disliked. He is a godless fool destroying Illinois. He loves abortion and child mutilation. He must be stopped. Pray for us in Illinois
Par for the course when you consider his brother/sister!
Of course Pritzker is going to fight Trump. Pritzker is determined to run for President and will do everything and anything to be a complete polar opposite to Trump no matter how many tax dollars he can wrench from the Illinois taxpayers to do it. I did read though the other day a poll about Democrat prospective Presidential candidates that Pritzker held only a 3% rating. This does not bode well for Pritzker and perhaps worse for Illinoisans who might get stuck with Pritzker longer than they think.
Pritzker has to outdo Navin Grewsom in CA ahead of 2028. Unless their party learned a few things this election and realizes by then they are losing propositions.
Nearly 75,000,000 million people looked at Harris the NPC Democrat candidate, after four years of utter disastrous policies, and said “Gimme more of that” just as 41% of the country looked at Jimmy Carter in 1980 and said “I want four more years of this”. It’s going to be an uphill climb in 2028 for any Republican president to beat the nearly 75,000,000 votes that ANY NPC DEMOCRAT candidate will receive no matter what. Democrats could put up a massive huge loser that no one like and they will still receive 75,000,000 votes. Democrats are always the same. JB’s battles… Read more »
Point taken. Also, unknown is how many of her votes were moderates who hated Trump, he drove off a fair number of such people. The country is fairly evenly split between center left and center right people, the lesson for each party for 2028 will be eliminating the lunatic radical fringes. Thats the losing proposition I referred to for democrats. That and having a way left lousy candidate, which Newsom and Pritzker would also surely be. Trump is already a lame duck so he is moving fast to create a shift that can lead to success in the next mid… Read more »
Four years is a VERY long time. Anything can happen!
Give it up JB. IL is not for your left wing policies. It’s bad enough that IL is the abortion and LGBTQ capital of the US. Now T he wants IL to ce the illegal migrant capital as well. JB needs to leave.
