OTHER THAN THAT WE HAD EIGHT PRIMARY IN ILLINOIS.
EVERY PRIMARY I COME TO TYT AND WE WORK ON IT LIVE.
WE HAD UNCORRUPTED DEMOCRATS THAT DON'T TAKE ANY
CORPORATE MONEY.
OF THE SEVEN,
310 RIGHT AND THEY WILL BE UP AGAINST REPUBLICANS IN THE
GENERAL ELECTION, TWO WENT TO THE RUNOFF, TO LOST SO FIVE OUT
OF SEVEN, NOT BAD AT ALL THAT IT WAS A GOOD AND EXCITING NIGHT.
SOME OF THE CANDIDATES MOVED INTO SECOND PLACE IN FIRST
PLACE AS THE NIGHT WORE ON DIED IN ILLINOIS EARLIER THIS
WEEK IT DID NOT GO AS WELL.
THEY WERE FOR JUSTICE DEMOCRATS UP INCLUDING THE MOST FAMOUS
ñ IT WAS CLOSE.
DAN LIPINSKI IS A VERY CONSERVATIVE DEMOCRAT.
HE IS ANTI-CHOICE AND WANTED TO DEFUND PLANNED PARENTHOOD.
NEWMAN GOT THE BACKING OF A SLEW OF GROUPS THAT CARED ABOUT
PROGRESSIVES, BUT UNFORTUNATELY SHE COULD NOT PULL IT OUT.
ALL FOUR OF THE JUSTICE DEMOCRATS LOST.
DANIEL WAS A VERY STRONG PROGRESSIVE.
HE ALSO LOST TO JAMIE PRITZKER.
UNFORTUNATELY A LOT OF THE TIMES ESPECIALLY IN THE BIGGER
ELECTIONS THEY ARE NOT ELECTIONS, THEY ARE AUCTIONS.
HE WILL BE GOING UP AGAINST ANOTHER BILLIONAIRE WHO IS THE
CURRENT GOVERNOR.
IT WILL BE BILLIONAIRE ON BILLIONAIRE CRIME IN THE GENERAL
ELECTION BUT PROGRESSIVES ARE BLINKING THOSE CASES.
THERE BUT THERE IS GOOD NEWS THAT CAME OUT OF ILLINOIS
FOR PROGRESSIVES.
YOU MIGHT THINK COME ON DUDE YOU ARE STRETCHING THE
GOVERNOR'S RACE.
AND FIND OUT WHY THAT RACE IS SO IMPORTANT.
THAT ONE STINGS.
WHEN YOU TOUCH THE MONEY PART OF THE MACHINE THAT IS WHERE THEY
GET ANIMATED AND THAT IS WHY THEY SPEND GOOD MONEY AND EFFORT
TRYING TO DEFEAT THE PROGRESSIVE IN THAT CASE BUT THEY COULDN'T.
WHAT ARE THE RAMIFICATIONS
OF THAT?
WE HAVE SEEN WITH PEOPLE LIKE LARRY KRASNER, THE DA IN
PHILADELPHIA SOMETIMES WHEN YOU ELECT A PROGRESSIVE TO A
POSITION LIKE THAT IT MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE.
IF THEY ACTUALLY CORRECTLY ASSIST TAXES AND MAKE THE
RICH PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE IN COOK COUNTY THAT CAN AFFECT
THEIR DONATIONS TO THOSE MACHINE POLITICIANS.
BUT THE OTHER THING IS YOU WILL ACTUALLY HAVE JUSTICE SERVE THE
POOR RESIDENTS IN THE MINORITY RESIDENTS OF COOK COUNTY
ARE NOT THE ONLY ONES BEARING ALL OF THE BURDEN WHICH MAKES
NO SENSE AT ALL ESPECIALLY IN AN AREA CONTROLLED BY DEMOCRATS.
IF YOU HAVE DEMOCRATS LOOKING OUT FOR DONORS, THEY ARE
NOT GOING TO LOOK OUT FOR YOU.
YOU HAVE PROGRESSIVES, THEY DO LOOK OUT FOR YOU.
OUR REVOLUTION WAS A BIG PART OF THE START.
THEY DID MAKE IT A TOP
PRIORITY AND IT MADE ALL THE DIFFERENCE.
LET ME GIVE YOU MORE CONTEXT HERE.
THAT IS HOW THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE SET THE STORY UP.
IT IS NOT MONDAY MORNING QUARTERBACK IN GOD BEFORE THE
ELECTION PROGRESSIVE GROUPS THAT IT WAS A TAX PRIORITY.
THE ESTABLISHMENT DEMOCRATS WANTED TO MAKE SURE TO
PROTECT THAT MONEY.
IN THAT CASE THE PROGRESSIVE WON THE TEST SO THAT IS INDEED
VERY GOOD NEWS.
BUT IT IS NOT THE ONLY GOOD NEWS.
LET ME GIVE YOU THE REST.
INDEED VERY GOOD NEWS COMING OUT OF ILLINOIS AS WELL.
WE WILL PUT THE LINK TO THE INTERCEPT STORY DOWN BELOW
IN THE DESCRIPTION BOX.
READ IT FOR YOURSELF.
ILLINOIS, MIXED RESULTS ADMITTEDLY, SOME
DISAPPOINTING LOSSES BUT SOME SIGNIFICANT WINS AS WELL.
ONTO THE NEXT PRIMARY WE GO.
