illinois replicans, however say it ended up a speech about generating attention and earning governor jb pritzkern to choose a capped it data centers for the next election. the illinois democrat first said as a jew he did not invoke nazis lightly and made multiple references comparing the rise of nazis to what republicans and donald trump are doing now. germans were angry about inflation and found someone to blame. he suggested people need to learn from history and said he was watching what is happening in the country. >> it took the nazis one month, three weeks, two days, eight hours, and 40 minutes to dismantle a constitutional republic. all i'm saying is th when the five alarm fire starts to burn, every good person better be ready to man a post with a bucket of water if you want to stop it from raging out of control. reporter: republicans are the minority in illinois. some members of the republican caucus got up and left during the speech. othe said it was appalling to hear everyday americans concerned about the border comped to nazis. some republicans called the speech ridiculous especially i

but jb pritzker has been very vocal about his concerns about president trump and the maga movement.night, comparing it directly to germany in the 1930s. and part of that speech got a lot of attention. here's a long sample of governor pritzker's address. i'm watching with a foreboding dread what is happening in our country right now. a president who watches a plane go down in the potomac and suggests, without facts or findings, that a diversity hire is responsible for the crash. or the missouri attorney general who just sued starbucks, arguing that consumers pay higher prices for their coffee because the baristas are too female and nonwhite. the authoritarian playbook is laid bare here. they point to a group of people who don't look like you and tell you to blame them for your problems. i just have one question. what comes next? after we've discriminated against, deported, or disparaged all the immigrants and the gay and lesbian and transgender people, the developmentally disabled, the women and the minorities. oncnce we've ostracized our neighbors and betrayed our friends after that

and i want to address this because this is what democratic governor jb pritzker from illinois had to say. and in raising the specter of, frankly, nazi germany in criticizing trump. listen to this. >> i do not invoke the specter of nazis lightly, but i know the history intimately. the authoritarian playbook is laid bare here. they point to a group of people who don't look like you and tell you to blame them for your problems. i just have one question what comes next? we don't have kings in america, and i don't intend to bend the knee to one. >> i mean, speaking of kings, he did of course, like it himself to a king. there was the screenshot. i think we have as well of him putting a crown on. long live the king. and he has an illustration of him wearing a crown on x as well. he is likened himself. is this trolling? is this? obviously he knows quite well we'll be talking about it and what it means. but we're talking about it because it seems the actions are lining up with what he's saying. >> of course it's trolling. he wants people to come on cable news shows and get screwed into the ce

and we've seen that too, not in congress, but in a place like illinois with jb pritzker.not going to hire anybody who had anything to do with january 6th. democrats have always had an uncomfortable relationship with power. they've been very unwilling to utilize it. they've been very unwilling to do the things they could when they have it. look, they have a history. speaker nancy pelosi always understood it. lbj going back, harry reid, like there are democrats who've understood it. but now you have to say, are you going to bear the consequences of utilizing whatever slivers of power you have? >> so what do you say to people out there? there are voters who feel angered. they feel paralyzed. right now they're saying, i did not vote for elon musk. i don't want this. what should they be focused on? what should they do? >> yeah. look, there's not a great answer to this. unfortunately, the one thing i can say, and this is not to turn into a therapy session for you and me, stephanie, but like, there is some, you know, boundaries you have to put up for yourself, right? i was talki

worried about the impact to their local economies, i want to point out to what illinois governor jb pritzkersaid with regards to the impact of the tariffs. take a listen. >> that's right. the people of illinois, the people of the united states, are going to pay the price for what donald trump is doing. let me tell you, canada and mexico are our two largest trading partners. here in illinois. we get most of our natural gas and also gasoline from north, right from canada. so when you impose a 25% tariff, you're imposing that tariff on working families in illinois. and underscore that point. economists that we've spoken to have said, yes, this would likely lead to inflationary pressures, not just in the united states, but in canada and mexico as well. and i want to point out, i even spoke with an auto parts dealer, a local body shop that said they would have to raise prices as well. even just an oil change could increase from about 60 to 80 bucks right now to $100 just for a routine change just because of these tariffs. these are real impacts here. >> okay. brian chung, thank you very much. and

congress -- i call kathy hochul him and ask for ideas, i bumped into any number of governors -- jb pritzker and i disagree on everything and we can be tough, no doubt. but during covid we were banging ideas back and forth and he had good ideas governors work together very well. we disagree all the time and the more local, i know you're probably tired of hearing me say this come up with the more local you keep the decisions, the better along everybody gets because of got to fight those issues with my neighbor. i fight on the issue, not the personality the more you go national it becomes personality driven. i don't like trump or elon musk and i don't like what they do, i don't like barack obama, i don't like george soros, don't like what they are doing. that's the problem. you got to have the courage and empathy to take the personality out of the situation and say at the core what a refund of mentally getting? i think obama did really good things. biden was a super nice guy. i think he was a very sweet guy. horrible president but a very sweet guy. i worked very hard to separate that out. i th

jb pritzker speech. it's incredible. i have to sneak in a break. i'm gonna ask all of you to stick around. also ahead for us. donald trump's stunning lie about president zelensky of ukraine that he's a dictator. it drew a rebuke from a strange place today, a normally very trump friendly media outlet. plus, a stunning warning from faa employees fired by donald trump. quote, without our team, pilots would quite literally be flying blind. end quote. brand new reporting on potentially dangerous cuts to federal employees, the ones who keep the planes in the sky safe. and later in the broadcast, the judge overseeing the eric adams case saying not so fast. basically using one of his lifelines to the trump doj as the trump doj pushes to dismiss the criminal case against eric adams. we'll have the latest on that. all those stories and more when deadline. white house continues after a quick break. don't go anywhere. >> and, doug. >> you'll be back. emus can help people customize and save hundreds on car insurance with liberty mutual. you're just a flightless
