Summary

Jen Psaki welcomes Governor J.B. Pritzker, who gave a speech yesterday in New Hampshire lambasting Trump, criticizing “do-nothing” Democrats and calling for mass mobilization against the growing number of unprecedented attacks the Trump administration has launched against migrants, universities, and the American economy. They discuss the administration’s stance on migrants, which hits home for Pritzker personally, as the child of Ukrainian immigrants. Jen also speaks with The Atlantic's Ashley Parker, who interviewed Trump in the run-up to his 100-day milestone.

Okay.

The first thing I want to tell you tonight is that Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker is going to join me live.

0:15.0

And you may have seen this speech, you may have seen clips, but he gave quite a speech last night in New Hampshire. He attacked the Trump

from any elected Democrat in a very long time. He also went after what he called do nothing

And we're also going to talk to Governor Pritzker about it, including the

0:54.8

Do-Nobaccoats, because I really do think it raises a lot of important questions about how

1:00.7

Democrats should be approaching this moment. In the story, in my view, of what the opposition has

1:06.7

done across these first 100 days of the Trump administration, and frankly, what they're going to do moving

1:11.1

1:15.1

as what the Trump administration has done

1:17.3

and what they're going to do moving forward.

1:19.5

And one of the things I've noticed

1:21.3

is that the disagreement among Democrats

1:23.5

about how to approach this moment actually

1:26.6

isn't really an ideological one.

1:29.3

I mean, yes, of course, there are debates and disagreements on big issues on the margins
