JASON BARICKMAN SAYS THAT RECALL

00:46.633 --> 00:52.300 align:start position:10% line:74% size:57.5%
PROVISION IS TOOTHLESS.

00:48.533 --> 00:54.200 align:start position:10% line:74% size:55%

NO ONE WOULD BE ABLE TO USE ITS

00:52.300 --> 00:59.433 align:start position:10% line:74% size:57.5%
IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO USE.

00:54.200 --> 01:01.300 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%

WANT TO MAKE IT EASIER AND WANT

01:28.800 --> 01:34.100 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%

OF SITUATIONS AT EVERY LEVEL OF

01:42.500 --> 01:47.866 align:start position:10% line:74% size:60%
GOVERNMENT WHERE THERE'S

01:44.133 --> 01:53.033 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
CORRUPTION BUT WHAT IS GOING ON

NOW WITH HOUSE SPEAKER MICHAEL

01:47.866 --> 01:56.600 align:start position:10% line:74% size:60%
MADIGAN IS MOST SALIENT.

01:53.033 --> 01:57.766 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
>> THE POLITICIANS NEED TO START

01:54.766 --> 01:59.266 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
LOOK OVER THEIR SHOULDER AND

01:56.600 --> 02:00.800 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
WHEN YOU HAVE SOMEBODY LIKE THE

01:57.766 --> 02:02.566 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
SPEAKER WHO IS NOT ACCOUNTABLE

01:59.266 --> 02:03.766 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
TO THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE AND

02:00.800 --> 02:06.000 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
HE HAS A LOT OF CONTROL OVER I

02:02.566 --> 02:07.433 align:start position:10% line:74% size:60%
THINK THAT IS A PROBLEM.

02:03.766 --> 02:10.233 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
THIS RECALL PROCESS AT LEAST

02:06.000 --> 02:11.866 align:start position:10% line:74% size:60%
GIVES THE VOTERS AND THE

02:07.433 --> 02:13.533 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
CITIZENS OF ILLINOIS A TOOL TO

02:10.233 --> 02:15.166 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
CHANGE THE DIRECTION OF STATE

02:11.866 --> 02:16.733 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
GOVERNMENT WHEN IT'S CONTROLLED

02:17.600 --> 02:24.200 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
>> WE KNOW THE BROAD PARAMETERS

02:19.933 --> 02:25.266 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
OF THE PROCESS THEY WANT TO MOVE

02:22.766 --> 02:28.000 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
TO BUT IT IS UNCLEAR HOW IT

02:24.200 --> 02:29.233 align:start position:10% line:74% size:27.5%
WOULD WORK.

02:25.266 --> 02:30.633 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
WHETHER IT IS LEGAL AND IT'S

02:28.000 --> 02:33.033 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
UNLIKELY IT'S EVER GOING TO GET

02:29.233 --> 02:35.666 align:start position:10% line:74% size:35%
TO THAT POINT.

02:30.633 --> 02:36.966 align:start position:10% line:74% size:62.5%
LAWMAKERS ARE NOTORIOUSLY

02:33.033 --> 02:37.900 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
RETICENT TO PASS ANY MEASURE TO

02:35.666 --> 02:41.266 align:start position:10% line:74% size:57.5%
COULD IMPERIL THEIR OWN

02:36.966 --> 02:43.066 align:start position:10% line:74% size:45%
POLITICAL FUTURES.

02:37.900 --> 02:45.200 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
AND ILLINOIS' GUBERNATORIAL

RECALL PETITION WAS DESIGNED TO

02:43.066 --> 02:48.866 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
BE STRICT AND NARROW SO IT WOULD

02:45.200 --> 02:49.866 align:start position:10% line:74% size:60%
NOT BE TOO EASY TO THROW

02:47.066 --> 02:52.233 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
GOVERNMENT INTO UPHEAVAL OR

02:48.866 --> 02:53.966 align:start position:10% line:74% size:37.5%

LIKE NOW.

02:55.333 --> 03:01.500 align:start position:10% line:74% size:62.5%
WHILE THERE ARE THOSE WHO

02:57.033 --> 03:04.033 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
BELIEVE THAT GOVERNOR J.B.

02:58.500 --> 03:04.966 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%

JOB NAVIGATING ILLINOIS THROUGH

03:04.033 --> 03:09.933 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
THE CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC OTHERS

03:04.966 --> 03:11.633 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
ARE FURIOUS ABOUT THE HEAVY HAND

03:07.066 --> 03:14.266 align:start position:10% line:74% size:62.5%
THAT HE HAS TAKEN AND THE

03:09.933 --> 03:16.600 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
RESTRICTIONS HE HAS IMPOSED.

03:11.633 --> 03:18.033 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
A REPORTER ASKED A QUESTION OF

03:14.266 --> 03:19.633 align:start position:10% line:74% size:57.5%
ONE OF PRITZKER'S DAILY

WHETHER HIS JOB IS IN JEOPARDY.

03:19.633 --> 03:27.300 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
>> YOU RECENTLY TALKED ABOUT

03:22.200 --> 03:29.233 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
MIDWEST GOVERNORS AND NOW THE

03:23.633 --> 03:31.933 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%

03:31.933 --> 03:37.900 align:start position:10% line:74% size:40%
BEING IMPEACHED?

03:34.433 --> 03:40.233 align:start position:10% line:74% size:60%
IS THAT A REAL QUESTION.

03:35.666 --> 03:41.333 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
I DON'T KNOW HOW TO ANSWER THAT.

03:37.900 --> 03:44.166 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
LOOK, YOU KNOW, I HAVE A STRONG

03:40.233 --> 03:45.900 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
APPROVAL RATING IN THE STATE.

03:41.333 --> 03:48.700 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
I THINK I'VE DONE A GOOD JOB.

03:44.166 --> 03:50.633 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
I KNOW THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO RUN

03:45.900 --> 03:52.233 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
AROUND EVERYDAY TRYING TO FILE

03:48.700 --> 03:52.566 align:start position:10% line:74% size:62.5%

SALESMAN THAT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT

03:52.233 --> 03:59.066 align:start position:10% line:74% size:17.5%
BEFORE.

03:52.566 --> 04:00.866 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%

03:55.600 --> 04:02.533 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
TO OUR EFFORT TO FIGHT COVID-19.

03:59.066 --> 04:04.766 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
AND ALL I CAN SAY IS THAT WE'RE

04:00.866 --> 04:06.200 align:start position:10% line:74% size:55%
DOING THE RIGHT THING.

04:02.533 --> 04:07.033 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
THE COURTS AFFIRMED THE THINGS

04:04.766 --> 04:09.966 align:start position:10% line:74% size:30%
WE'RE DOING.

04:06.200 --> 04:11.100 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
>> MARK BATINICK AND JASON

04:07.033 --> 04:12.833 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
BARICKMAN SAY THEIR PLAN IS

04:09.966 --> 04:15.633 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
DESIGNED TO RECALL WOULD BE

04:11.100 --> 04:17.700 align:start position:10% line:74% size:60%
POSSIBLE BUT HARD TO DO.

04:12.833 --> 04:18.566 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
SO IT WOULDN'T BE TRIGGERED BY

04:15.633 --> 04:20.800 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
ANYTHING TRIVIAL THERE HAS TO BE

04:17.700 --> 04:22.433 align:start position:10% line:74% size:27.5%
REAL ABUSE.

04:18.566 --> 04:24.000 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
I DID REACH OUT TO SPEAKER

04:20.800 --> 04:25.900 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
MADIGAN'S SPOKESPERSON AND HE

04:22.433 --> 04:27.200 align:start position:10% line:74% size:60%
SAID HAVING NOT SEEN THE

04:24.000 --> 04:30.400 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
PROPOSED LANGUAGE HE CANNOT

04:25.900 --> 04:32.200 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
COMMENT ON THE RECALL PLAN.

04:27.200 --> 04:34.533 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
IN THE PAST MADIGAN HAS BEEN

04:30.400 --> 04:37.466 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
DISDAINFUL OF A RELATED EFFORT

04:32.200 --> 04:37.866 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
THAT IS FORMER GOVERNOR RAUNER'S

04:34.533 --> 04:39.933 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
PLAN TO INSTITUTE TERM LIMITS ON

04:37.466 --> 04:40.833 align:start position:10% line:74% size:30%

04:37.866 --> 04:42.400 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
MADIGAN SAID THAT TERM LIMITS
