FOX News contributor and syndicated radio host Hugh Hewitt weighs in on the growing speculation surrounding a possible 2028 presidential bid by Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker.

BRET BAIER, ‘SPECIAL REPORT’ HOST: So after that statement from Governor Pritzker, the Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem put out a statement to us in response, saying this, u., “If J.B. Pritzker actually walked the streets of his own city, he would see domestic terrorists and violent rioters attacking police officers and the scourge of violent crime as the direct result of his own policies.” Also talked about all that they’re finding throughout Illinois and Chicago and the specific instance that he talked about. We’ll invite Secretary Noem on to respond. Let’s bring in our panel to talk about all of this, FOX News contributor, Hugh Hewiit, Democratic campaign consultant Kevin Walling, and Annie Linskey, White House reporter for “The Wall Street Journal”. OK, Hugh, your thoughts? HUGH HEWITT, SYNDICATED RADIO HOST: Governor Pritzker is running. He’s not running very well. BAIER: It’s 100 percent he’s running. HEWITT: He’s absolutely running, and he’s not running well, because nothing made any sense. It’s all — you present him with statements. He contradicts himself. When he brought up Pinochet, I laughed out loud in the green room because it’s such an absurd argument, it’s such a bad reach. So he’s playing to the far left wing of his party, though he denied it to you. Good, hard-hitting questions. He’s not very good at this. And he can only win in Illinois with a billionaire’s money. That’s it.
