maybe that's what cnn was thinking when they included the illinois governor j.b.tzker on the list. even if you have not heard his name. his faults are too obvious to ignore. he may be the only elected democrat in america who is unhealthier than joe biden. a couple of years ago pritzker broke his leg and admitted he had no idea how he did it. he had not seen his leg since 1993. we're not judging obviously, but is this the president you want during a covid-19 pandemic? he's a walking underlying condition. plus, not incidentally he's destroyed the state of illinois. cnn doesn't bother to interview a single one of them. wish pritzker the best. don't count on seeing him in the white house anytime soon. if you are still fixated on replacing joe biden with a governor, cnn recommends gretchen whitmer and phil murphy. maybe this is a test. phil murphy is from new jersey. read that and pause and begin to suspect maybe this whole list is cnn's stealthy attempt to test you, to see what you will believe. how ludicrous can they write it! phil murphy? phil murphy almost lost his

journalist and author j.b.tops shopping: how ending consumerism saves the environment and ourselves. he joins me from british columbia. some nations are worse than others whether it comes to consumption. i'm thinking about the u.s. in particular, where i think consumption grew from 65% from 1990 to 2015 compared with about 35% growth in europe. why is that? why do you think there's this impulse in the u.s. to buy and so often buy things we just don't need? >> i think a lot of it's cultural. the american dream is really built around this idea of economic prosperity. so if you want to consider yourself a success in american society, then you're often doing so by measures like your income and your possessions. and this has had this result where americans do nearly every social thing through cons consumption, from marking the milestones of life to celebrating holidays of course, to expressing love for one another through gifts, to expressing our identities. and the result has been a whole lot of accumulating consum

yesterday our governor, j.b. pritzker requested an emergency declaration and we join him. the president issued an emergency order just a few hours after that request. this assistance will help our state immediately, but there's more to do. thanks to the red cross and so many volunteers, local residents and communities across illinois for pitching in to help the victims. supplementing that fine work are volunteers who have come to help in any way they can. it was ironic that last week i had a coffee for a man named jose andres, well known across the country for his extraordinary efforts to feed hungry people. last tuesday he spoke to us and a few members of our caucus about his nonprofit organization, the world central kitchen. they've come to the rescue of people in need in puerto rico and haiti and all across the united states. today world central kitchen is on the ground in mayfield, kentucky, where the tornado struck last friday, providing hot food to the victims. it's a time when america, a divided nation, actually sees our nation coming together. the tornadoes didn't
