Christian Mitchell accepted Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker's offer to be the Democratic nominee for lieutenant governor. And during an appearance on “The Politically Speaking Hour on St. Louis on the Air,” Mitchell discussed why Pritzker deserves a third term — and why he says he's ready to step up as governor if Pritzker departs for the national stage.
Illinois is short roughly 130,000 homes today and needs about 240,000 more by 2030. The state can't change mortgage rates or material costs, so Governor JB Pritzker of Illinois is targeting something else: the rules that make homes hard to build. He walks through the Build Initiative, a set of bills to legalize more ADUs and small multifamily buildings, relax some parking and stairway requirements, standardize impact fees, and put limits on permit delays. He also talks about local pushback, bipartisan support, and why these modest changes could mean more housing choices without the sense that neighborhoods are being upended.

Illinois is projected to see less tax income than state agencies previously expected due to a variety of economic factors. With revised estimates, some lawmakers worry there may be a shortfall, which could prevent a balanced budget from being passed this month. Both the Illinois Department of Revenue – which oversees the collection of state funds – and the Commission on Government Forecasting and Accountability – which makes forecasts of expected tax revenue – have lowered estimates of how much money they expect the state to bring in next fiscal year, which begins July 1. Compared to earlier projections, which guided Governor JB Pritzker's recommended spending plan released in January, officials said reasons for the downward shift included the economic impact of tariffs, rising living costs, and flattening excise‑tax revenue – such as from marijuana.

Big shake-ups in the primaries last night, Indiana saw several senators who opposed Trump's policies lose their races, and in Ohio, Trump-backed candidates, including Vivek Ramaswamy, picked up wins. Secretary of State Marco Rubio was at the podium yesterday, filling in for Karoline Leavitt (she's out on maternity leave), and got grilled about the war in Iran. Rubio hinted that the end might be in sight, but there are still hurdles to clear. Mark breaks it down for us. Mayor Mamdani is pushing his socialist agenda so hard that it's blocking out any practical talk about how big players like Ken Griffin, who is a billionaire, actually help keep the city afloat with their tax dollars. Mark takes your calls! Mark interviews Boston radio host Howie Carr. Howie's got strong opinions; he thinks Trump shouldn't lift the blockade in Iran. And some sad news: Ted Turner, the founder of CNN, passed away at 87. Mark shares some memories about Turner and the early days of CNN, which launched back in 1980. And speaking of Indiana, those state senators who fought against Trump's redistricting efforts got wiped out in the primaries, a huge win for Team Trump. In New York, Mayor Mamdani seems more like a salesman than a politician lately, raising questions about how that approach is affecting the city. Mark and Howie also talk about JB Pritzker and Gavin Newsom, how they might have had a leg up before their big political gigs.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Actor Charlie Sheen wrote in his book about tuning into Newsmax and realizing their coverage might be more truthful than what you get from networks like MSNOW or CNN.

Meanwhile, FBI Director Kash Patel told Sean Hannity on his podcast about finding a secret room in D.C. stuffed with fake Russian classified documents in burn bags. Out in California, Cedars-Sinai Hospital's Nurse Matthew Shaffer posted something awful on X. He said he was disappointed the latest Trump assassin missed.

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker has doubled down and defended calling President Donald Trump a nazi even after a third assassination attempt
After the White House Correspondents' Dinner shooting, every major Democrat rushed out the same statement condemning political violence — Jamie Raskin, Tim Walz, JB Pritzker, Elissa Slotkin, Gretchen Whitmer, all using nearly identical language. Larry puts their statements side by side with what they've actually been saying for years: calling Donald Trump an authoritarian, comparing ICE to Nazi stormtroopers, calling the president an existential threat to democracy, and a devastating montage of Democrat leaders openly calling for violence against Trump and his supporters.
