WATCH: Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker comes out strongly today against Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson’s “head tax” proposal. “I am absolutely foursquare opposed to a head tax for the city of Chicago. It penalizes the very thing that we want, which is more employment in the city of Chicago. It makes it very hard to attract companies from outside the city to come in and harder for companies already here to stay.” Pritzker also said Johnson needs to work harder to find efficiencies in the city budget, rather than threatening the economic growth of the city and state with a new tax on jobs. “Balancing the budget for the state of Illinois and for the city of Chicago is vital. It can’t be ignored, it has to be done, but it shouldn’t be done with a head tax in the city of Chicago… “I am confident the city can do it. Look, you’ve got to start with efficiencies. You’ve got to go into city government—and I haven’t seen any of that in this budget so far. That’s going to have to happen because there are going to be changes. People are not going to like certain kinds of revenue enhancements that he’s got in his budget. So you’ve got to find efficiencies, and there are efficiencies to be found—some with technology, some because we have departments doing things that maybe we don’t need done. And finally, how about we do our best to attract, retain, and grow businesses in the city of Chicago, because that, again, is the best way for us to pay the bills.” Under Johnson’s proposal all companies employing 100+ people in Chicago would have to pay a tax of $21 per employee per month. As Pritzker correctly points out, it’s a punishment for creating jobs.

Bill O’Reilly shocks Jillian Michaels, tells her JB Pritzker is even WORSE than Gavin Newsom. Michaels couldn’t fathom anyone being worse than Newsom, but O’Reilly made the case. And he capped it off with a brutal insult at the end: “For more than a decade, thousands of poor people have been murdered, mostly on the south side of Chicago, 80% African American,” O’Reilly said, setting the stage. “They’ve been murdered by drug gangs, heavily armed younger black men who basically fight over turf. If you call the police on these gangs, they’ll kill you and your family, like the cartels in Mexico. These are unbelievably evil people,” he continued. “Pritzker has been governor [of Illinois], what, [6 and a half] years? He’s not done one thing to mitigate all of that murder. Not one thing. Yet when Trump offers another blanket of protection for those poor black people by sending federal authorities to Chicago, as he did in D.C., Pritzker calls him a Nazi.” O’Reilly called that willingness to let people die for political gain “evil.” “If that’s not evil, then I don’t know what evil is.” “I didn’t have enough room to put Pritzker on the cover of my book (Confronting Evil). He’s a LITTLE TOO HEFTY,” O’Reilly mocked. “I had to get Putin in there.” “But come on, how absurd is this? Even if you hate Trump, you would think that another layer of protection to cut down homicides in the south side of Chicago would be welcome? No,” O’Reilly said, clearly frustrated.
