This is Ben Mycelis from the Midas Touch Network. Welcome to the Democratic Governors Virtual Town Hall live on the Midas Touch Network.
Tonight, we will speak with four Democratic governors from across the country about Donald Trump's first 100 days in office, a disastrous 100 days, and what these governors are doing in their states to fight back and defend democracy from the clear and present threats that we face.

I want to give each governor, starting with Governor Pritzker, the opportunity to make an opening remark to the American people. Governor Pritzker, what is your assessment of Trump's first 100 days in office and what are you doing in response?
Well, thanks, Ben. And I'm so excited to be, especially with my friends, the fellow governors and with you, Ben. I think all of us are deeply, deeply concerned about what's happening across the country. And, of course, 100 days in, it's been, well, a disastrous administration for the American people. Essentially, we've seen Donald Trump do exactly the opposite of what he said he was going to do.
And 100 days in, we've seen prices go up. We've seen, you know, it's hard to buy a car, hard to buy a house. Your tomatoes, lettuce and beer at the grocery store, prices have gone up. And, of course, when he promised that he was going to bring peace to Ukraine and around the world, the opposite has happened. There have been, you know, more attacks on our friends and our allies.
and more involvement by the United States military across the world. And then finally, I just say that the rights of our friends and family, our neighbors, American citizens across this great country, are being taken away.
And I gave a speech on Sunday night talking about, well, in part about habeas corpus, about the government doesn't have a right to just make you disappear or snatch you off the street without giving you the right to a hearing. And we're seeing that happening to legal residents of the United States. And now we've seen it happen to U.S. citizens.
So I'm deeply concerned about what the next hundred days and frankly, the next thousand days will be like.
