State Week: Pritzker on the national stage

Gov. JB Pritzker made a fiery speech to Democrats in New Hampshire and has also appeared on national shows. It has fueled more speculation that he wants to run for president.

We also discuss the Department of Homeland Security Secretary's appearance in Springfield this week. And we remember the late former Gov. George Ryan.

Host Sean Crawford is joined by Professor Emeritus Charlie Wheeler and Illinois Times Staff Writer Scott Reeder.

The former director of the Public Affairs Reporting (PAR) graduate program is Professor Charles N. Wheeler III, a veteran newsman who came to the University of Illinois at Springfield following a 24-year career at the Chicago Sun-Times.
Scott Reeder is a staff writer at Illinois Times.
