(The Center Square) – Gov. J.B. Pritzker says there could be a special legislative session in Illinois this summer, but he won't raise people's taxes to pay for a new Chicago Bears stadium. Pritzker spoke in Chicago on Tuesday afternoon and said there could be a special session if the General Assembly can get together on one piece of Bears legislation. “The first priority for me is we're not raising people's taxes to pay for a privately owned stadium, that's number one, or any stadium for a billionaire-owned family,” Pritzker said. The governor also said the legislature would be meeting again in few months. Fall veto session is scheduled Nov. 17-19 and Dec. 1-3. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

(The Center Square) – Gov. J.B. Pritzker says Illinois' new budget for fiscal year 2027 protects working families from new taxes, but Republican state Rep. Blaine Wilhour says the governor can't stop asking for more. The governor touted investments in housing, education and health care in the $55.9 billion spending plan approved by the General Assembly on Monday. “We made all of those people-first investments while maintaining our positive fiscal trajectory and protecting working families from paying new taxes,” Pritzker said. The state's latest revenue package includes Pritzker's social media platform fee, which the governor suggested could generate $200 million for public education.

Illinois lawmakers have approved a wide-ranging cannabis, hemp, and regulatory omnibus bill, sending one of the most significant cannabis policy packages in years to Governor J.B. Pritzker's desk. In this episode, Cole breaks down the major provisions, including proposed increases to possession limits, drive-thru and curbside dispensary pickup, expanded medical access, telehealth certifications, fee relief for smaller operators, and changes to cultivation and security requirements. Cole also examines the bill's controversial hemp provisions, which supporters say create regulatory clarity but critics argue amount to a de facto hemp ban in Illinois.

Spouting Off with Karen Kataline Immigration, Western Civilization, Psychiatric Drugs, and Green Energy Karen Kataline Continues the Alan Nathan Show in Alan's Memory In this episode of The Alan Nathan Show / Alan Nathan All-Stars, host Karen Kataline opens by acknowledging the untimely passing of Alan Nathan and explaining that the show continues in his memory and honor. She notes that she and Alan had often done Mondays together and says it is an honor to help continue the program during this transitional period for the Main Street Radio Network. Throughout the episode, Karen frames the broadcast as part of a new chapter while preserving the spirit, name, and tradition of the Alan Nathan All-Stars. Immigration, Libertarianism, and Sanctuary Policies Karen's first guest is the executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies, identified in the transcript as Mark Krikorian or a similar spelling. They discuss immigration enforcement, libertarian arguments for open immigration, and the tension between open borders and a welfare state. Mark argues that libertarians once aligned more closely with conservatives on taxes, regulation, and the size of government, but now often align with the left on questions of sovereignty, borders, and immigration. He cites Milton Friedman's argument that open immigration and a welfare state cannot coexist and says that while social programs can be tightened, the welfare state is not simply going away. Chicago, ICE, and Local Non-Cooperation The discussion then turns to Chicago, Cook County, and Illinois, which Mark describes as sanctuary jurisdictions. He explains that ICE is not asking local police to conduct immigration checks in the street, but to hold criminal suspects who are already arrested and fingerprinted if they are deportable, so ICE can take custody. He argues that sanctuary policies release deportable offenders back into communities and says this especially harms immigrant neighborhoods. Karen and Mark also criticize Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker, accusing them of interfering with immigration enforcement and downplaying violence in Chicago. Karen Reflects on Alan Nathan and the Show's Transition After the first interview and intervening ad segments, Karen returns to discuss the show's transition after Alan Nathan's death. She encourages listeners to hear the tribute program that aired over the weekend and recalls clips of Alan and his wife Jane from years earlier, describing their on-air chemistry as entertaining, lively, argumentative, and classic talk radio. Karen says it is a sad time for everyone at Main Street Radio Network, but emphasizes that the Alan Nathan Show and Alan Nathan All-Stars tradition will continue. James Hankins on The Golden Thread and Western Civilization Karen then welcomes James Hankins, described as a Harvard University historian and co-author of The Golden Thread: A History of the Western Tradition. Hankins explains that the “golden thread” is a metaphor for the Western tradition, and that the book aims to recover the history of Western civilization from the ancient Greeks and Romans through the Middle Ages and into the modern world. He argues that this history has not been properly taught in schools or universities for decades, leaving people without a shared understanding of democracy, republics, communism, socialism, and the meaning of Western civic life. Communism, Democratic Socialism, and Historical Amnesia Karen connects the discussion to contemporary politics, warning against Marxism, communism, and democratic socialism. Hankins says many people who call themselves democratic socialists do not understand what the term means or how socialism has operated historically. He argues that adding the word “democratic” does not solve the deeper problem, because socialism has not historically favored democracy. Karen and Hankins agree that many public arguments suffer because people no longer share basic definitions or historical knowledge, especially about the distinction between a republic and a democracy. Dr. Toby Watson on Psychiatric Drugs and Violence Later, Karen interviews clinical psychologist Dr. Toby Watson, who says he has worked on research and testimony related to psychiatric medications, including SSRI antidepressants and black-box warning labels. Watson says his work involves outcome research on psychotropic medications and forensic cases where people with no history of violence commit violent or self-destructive acts after taking medication. Karen asks whether antidepressants and psychiatric medications may be contributing to violence, especially in the wake of Columbine-era discussions. Watson answers strongly that SSRIs can increase suicidal thoughts and behavior and says this is acknowledged in FDA black-box warnings. Akathisia, Political Motives, and Youth Medication Dr. Watson discusses akathisia, describing it as an inner agitation or restlessness that can make people feel as though they want to crawl out of their skin. He says it can occur with SSRIs and is even more common with antipsychotics. Karen asks whether suppression of this information may be about more than money, suggesting possible political motives. Watson agrees that politics can be involved and argues that children in poverty, especially those connected to Medicaid or Medicare systems, are disproportionately medicated at higher doses even when diagnosis and symptom severity are considered. He also references Anatomy of an Epidemic and argues that long-term psychiatric drug use can contribute to disability and general decline. Gender Ideology, Violence Profiles, and Dr. Watson's Cautions Karen and Watson also discuss social contagion, gender ideology, and political violence. Karen asks about the murder of Charlie Kirk and whether the alleged killer was on psychiatric medication. Watson says he has no direct knowledge and is not involved in that investigation, cautioning that too much misinformation is circulating to make a firm claim. However, he says the suspect fits a known profile for certain kinds of shooters and that, statistically, it would not surprise him if psychiatric medication were involved. Karen closes the short segment by inviting Watson back and directing listeners to his work online. Steve Goreham / Gorham on Green Energy and Rising Electricity Prices Karen closes the show with Steve Goreham or Steve Gorham, described as executive director of the Climate Science Coalition of America and author of Green Breakdown: The Coming Renewable Energy Failure. The conversation focuses on rising electricity prices, renewable energy policies, and what Karen calls the “green new scam.” Steve argues that expensive electricity increases are concentrated in blue states that have pursued aggressive green policies, naming California, Maine, New York, Maryland, Massachusetts, and Connecticut. He contrasts those with states such as Georgia, Florida, Texas, and Missouri, which he says rely more on natural gas or coal and have seen smaller increases. AI, Data Centers, Pipelines, and Energy Reality Steve argues that green-energy policies are running into the reality of rising electricity demand, especially from artificial intelligence and data centers built by companies such as Meta, Microsoft, and Amazon. He says AI-related electricity demand requires constant 24-hour power and cannot be reliably supported by wind and solar alone. Karen and Steve also discuss the Keystone pipeline, New York pipeline politics, natural gas constraints in New England, offshore wind leverage, and the role of Trump administration energy policy. Steve closes by directing listeners to his book Green Breakdown and website. Closing the New Chapter of the Alan Nathan All-Stars Karen ends the show by saying the Alan Nathan All-Stars are heading into a new chapter, but with Alan Nathan still serving as the program's guiding star. The episode as a whole blends remembrance of Alan with Karen's political and cultural commentary, moving through immigration enforcement, Western civilization, psychiatric drugs, gender ideology, energy policy, and the future of American public debate.

Illinois just lost $6 billion in adjusted gross income as residents voted with their feet — and the state's political class still hasn't figured out why. Under Governor Pritzker, Illinois has delivered nearly every policy that Washington Democrats are now promising: progressive income taxes, expanded public spending, and a regulatory environment that treats businesses as a problem to be managed. The result is a fiscal bleeding that can't be cauterized without reversing the politics that caused it.Washington State is tracking the same arc. The wealth tax push, the capital gains surcharge, and the steady drumbeat of "make the rich pay" rhetoric are identical to the playbook Pritzker ran before Illinois became a cautionary spreadsheet. The people most capable of leaving are always the first ones out — and they don't send a forwarding address to the tax authority.Sean breaks down where Illinois stands, who's actually leaving and why, and what the numbers say about Washington's near-term trajectory if Olympia keeps borrowing from Springfield's disaster playbook.CHAPTERS0:00 Illinois' Loses $6 Billion as…2:30 Illinois $6 Billion Warning for…3:48 Mayor Wilson Waves Goodbye to…5:26 Starbucks Cuts 252 Jobs, Expands in…6:39 Former Governor Warns Democrats on Taxes7:37 Seattle's New Public Toilet Gamble9:17 Luxury Listings Surge After Tax Proposal10:35 Man Falls Through Ballard Gym Ceiling11:33 Washington Following Illinois Into…12:51 Downtown Seattle 36% Vacant13:51 What Tennessee Has That Washington…15:04 World Cup Will Spotlight Seattle's…Subscribe to @reasonablenews for daily coverage of the stories Pacific Northwest media won't touch.#Seattle #UrbanDecay #ProgressiveCities

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour host Scot Bertram fills in for Jim Geraghty on Friday's 3 Martini Lunch. Join Scot and Greg as they break down major Justice Department fraud indictments in Minnesota, the Democrats' laughable 2024 election autopsy, public infighting among top Illinois Democrats over the Chicago Bears, and a big shake-up in the Michigan governor's race..First, they enthusiastically welcome the Justice Department announcing 15 indictments connected to $90 million fin alleged in Minnesota. And officials say they are just getting started. Scot and Greg hope this will lead to the uncovering of fraud in all states. They also react to a lengthy prison sentence handed down in a separate $250 million fraud case and explain why accountability in these cases is vitally important.Next, they get a kick out of the Democratic National Committee's weak "autopsy" on why Kamala Harris lost the 2024 election. While the report acknowledges a few legitimate problems, Scot and Greg highlight the far more damaging issues Democrats continue to ignore. Then, they enjoy the escalating feud between Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson after the Chicago Bears announced their new stadium would be outside the city limits and possibly outside the state. The truth is both of them deserve blame and since Democrats control Illinois, there's no way to pin this on Republicans.Finally, they react to former Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan ending his independent campaign for Michigan governor. Scot explains why Duggan's public reasoning doesn't add up and what may really be driving his exit from the race.Please visit our great sponsors:Better HelpMay is Mental Health Awareness Month- a reminder that whatever you're going through, you don'thave to go through it alone.

Hour 1 opens with Dan Buck, Kim St. Onge, and Ethan Bright filling in for Marc Cox and immediately diving into culture war flashpoints surrounding women's sports, abortion politics, and conservative activism following a Missouri Right to Life event featuring Riley Gaines.

The hour then pivots into an extended breakdown of the Chicago Bears potentially abandoning Illinois, with sharp criticism aimed at J. B. Pritzker and Chicago leadership over soaring taxes, stalled stadium negotiations, sanctuary city spending, and economic decline pushing major organizations toward states like Indiana. In “Kim on a Whim,” Kim exposes the growing industry behind fake viral content, AI-driven engagement, bot amplification, and manipulated social media popularity tied to influencers, politics, and entertainment, including references to Justin Bieber and online political campaigns. The hour closes with a heated debate over comments from Jeff Bezos suggesting lower-income Americans should pay no federal taxes, leading into broader arguments about government dependency, taxpayer burdens, progressive economics, and fears of expanding state control over daily life.

Illinois needs over 100,000 units to fill a severe housing shortage. Gov. Pritzker has a new plan to address this problem, the Building Up Illinois Developments, or BUILD. Housing advocates say the BUILD plan will help with housing affordability, particularly in neighborhoods with high demand. But some are concerned that this plan will take power from local municipalities and open the door for big developments in areas with mostly single family homes. In the Loop learns more about the basics of the bill currently working its way through the Illinois House and Senate from Mawa Iqbal, WBEZ statehouse reporter. We hear potential pros of the plan from Jeff Baker, CEO, Illinois Realtors and potential cons from Doug Pollock, president, Village of Riverside.

In this episode of Positive Impact Philanthropy, Lori Kranczer speaks with Irene Pritzker, chair and co-founder of the IDP Foundation, about her groundbreaking work expanding access to education in developing countries through innovative financing models. Irene shares how a trip to Ghana transformed her philanthropic focus from medical research to education after discovering that low-fee private schools serving some of the poorest families had no access to credit or financial support. What began as a single partnership with a microfinance institution has since grown into a sustainable model reaching hundreds of thousands of students across Sub-Saharan Africa.   You'll hear about: How a visit to a market school in Ghana inspired Irene's education financing model Why do low-fee private schools in developing countries often lack access to capital The role financial institutions can play in improving education outcomes How the IDP Foundation created a sustainable and scalable lending model for schools Why catalytic philanthropy and strategic partnerships are essential for long-term impact The importance of working closely with governments and local communities How innovative financing and program-related investments can unlock opportunity across Africa   Irene's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/irene-pritzker-65bb0195/ Irene's Book The School in the Market: https://www.idpfplus.org/the-school-in-the-market/ IDP Foundation Website: https://www.idpfoundation.org/ IDP Foundation Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/idpfoundation/ IDP Foundation Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IDPFoundation IDP Foundation LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/idp-foundation-inc-/   Connect with Lori Kranczer!

This episode pulls no punches as we dissect the coordinated mental warfare campaign currently being waged against the American people. From the explosive frustration of Joe Hoft shredding Christopher Wray and William Barr for their alleged roles in covering up election fraud in Michigan and Georgia, to the chilling reality of the recent White House Correspondents' Dinner shooting, we explore a nation divided by two irreconcilable versions of reality. We examine the "Siege of the Psyche" a 24/7 indoctrination effort through media and influencers designed to gaslight citizens, suppress the truth about voter ID and the SAVE Act, and dehumanize conservatives to the point where political violence is not only predictable but celebrated by the radical left.We are joined by Dr. Paul Alexander, a former HHS Senior Advisor and renowned epidemiologist, to break down his bombshell analysis of the WHCD incident. Dr. Alexander questions whether the security lapses that put President Trump at risk were intentional, raising the specter of internal sabotage and modern MKUltra-style tactics. The conversation dives deep into the "enemy within" the current administration, the suppression of early COVID treatments, and the absolute lack of accountability for agencies like the CDC and FDA. We confront the dangerous rhetoric from figures like Jimmy Kimmel and Governor J.B. Pritzker, whose "Nazi" branding of the right serves as a psychological green light for the domestic terrorism we are seeing unfold in real-time.As the left continues to signal acceptance for violence exemplified by the appalling reactions to the assassination attempt on Donald Trump and the tragic death of Charlie Kirk—we ask: how can a country function when one side believes they have the moral authority to eliminate their neighbors? From the "lawfare" being played out in Michigan ballot access battles to the radicalization of youth through leaders who openly call for "choking out" their opponents, this episode is a clarion call for awareness. Watch now to understand the mechanics of this mental war and why the current trajectory of state-sponsored gaslighting is leading America toward an inevitable and dangerous breaking point.
