Peter Berg did produce this movie and he was attached to direct it at one point, I think.
A
29:51Austin ZwiebelmanHOST
One of the Pritzkers helped produce this movie, surprisingly.
T
29:55Tanner Richard KraftHOST
Like J.B. Pritzker? Yeah,
A
29:57Austin ZwiebelmanHOST
G.G. Pritzker was a producer.
You Can Leave.
J
45:36John AnthonyHOST
A lot of that can be helped.
J
45:39John AnthonyHOST
Why won't this administration, the Pritzkers and the Brandon Johnsons of the world, allow the National Guard in here to help facilitate some peace? There's a track record that shows that it works.
J
45:55John AnthonyHOST
Baltimore, even in Memphis, where the National Guard have been.
J
46:02John AnthonyHOST
D.C., look at how beautiful and clean.

M
53:30Marty McLaughlinGUEST
Yeah, so on that, what that's about is the 5797 is about getting the Bears stadium built.
M
53:35Marty McLaughlinGUEST
through private financing, not taxpayer dollars, but making the state of Illinois commit to the infrastructure, which, John, they'd have to put up if we were building a car plant or a production facility.
M
53:45Marty McLaughlinGUEST
And, you know, the McCaskies don't trust the Pritzkers, and Pritzker doesn't trust the McCaskies.
M
53:50Marty McLaughlinGUEST
So I said, let's put an audit function into it.
They Are All Crooks
S
10:37Sean ThompsonHOST
You don't even have to pay your fracking taxes, do you, fatso?
S
10:41speaker_10NARRATOR
For the Pritzkers, avoiding taxes has been a family affair.
S
10:44speaker_10NARRATOR
JB's grandfather, A.N. Pritzker, established dozens of trusts, and in 2008, the New York Times declared the Pritzkers were pioneers in using tax loopholes to shelter their holdings from the Internal Revenue Service.
S
10:57Sean ThompsonHOST
Yeah, a loophole, like it's offshore, you moron, outside of the views.
S
11:02Sean ThompsonHOST
And when Penny Pritzker got caught not reporting 134 million that she forgot to put on her income tax, what was the penalty, Squirrel? She became the commerce secretary, and here we are, 31 trillion later.

S
107:00speaker_16SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Do businesses wanna stay in Illinois, and do you think that the Illinois economy is doing well?
S
107:06Sean ThompsonHOST
Only the businesses that have a Pritzker accountant.
S
107:08speaker_10NARRATOR
For the Pritzkers, avoiding taxes has been a family affair.
We Are Not Conservatives
S
5:44Sean ThompsonHOST
The only time you should open your mouth is questions like this.
S
5:48Sean ThompsonHOST
How is it that in a society where the Pritzkers, for example, have not only been notoriously generational tax fraud cheats, corrupt control agarchs, How in the frack is there one moron willing to vote Democrat after side-settle Obama, after the daily short-in-the-pants syndicate, what they did to our city, and after your useless fat ass, since you became governor, drove up taxes $60 billion, lied, cheated, and stole.
S
6:17Sean ThompsonHOST
How is anybody still a fracking Democrat? That's the only question I found interesting.
S
6:22Sean ThompsonHOST

From Founder to Family: The Generational Challenge Of Family Businesses
P
0:52Philip WeissHOST
Along with his sons, he had built one of the greatest American business empires almost from nothing, a single Chicago hotel that became Hyatt, and then an industrial holding company that became Marmon, eventually stakes in TransUnion and Royal Caribbean.
P
1:08Philip WeissHOST
By any legal, financial, or governance measure, the Pritzkers had done everything right.
P
1:14Philip WeissHOST
Trusts, structures, succession built from the start, all of that had been laid out very well.
P
1:22Philip WeissHOST
40 years later, one of those grandchildren opened her trust documents and didn't like what she found.

P
20:01Philip WeissHOST
So when I say differentiation is the real balance sheet, I mean it very directly.
P
20:08Philip WeissHOST
Every family enterprise is already carrying this number or a differentiation number, whether it's written down anywhere or not.
P
20:18Philip WeissHOST
The only choice you actually have is whether you find out what it is on your own terms in a more measured, deliberate space over time and with some most likely hard work, but doable, or whether you find out the way the Pritzkers did in public, maybe in court and all at once.
P
20:34Philip WeissHOST
Picture with me the two events that this series will keep coming back to.
Everybody Is The Enemy
S
28:16Sean ThompsonHOST
All of them.
S
28:16Sean ThompsonHOST
All of those scoundrels, even Penny Pritzker, never looked into for the offshore money like her fat-ass brother or any of the other Pritzkers, like Tom Pritzker.
S
28:25Sean ThompsonHOST
We
P
28:25PhilAUDIENCE
build a lot of obsolete stuff with all our money.

J
12:54JasminHOST
So, yeah, if you stayed at a Hyatt, if you dealt with TransUnion Credit Bureau, if you've taken a cruise on the Royal Caribbean...
J
13:01JasminHOST
That's the Pritzkers.
J
13:03JasminHOST
She was named after Lisa Von Trapp from the Sound of Music, allegedly.
J
13:07JasminHOST
And her father, Robert, founded the Marmon Group with Jay Pritzker.

65:25Ben MeiselasHOST
I could keep going down.
B
65:27Ben MeiselasHOST
Pritzkers and keep going down.
B
65:31Ben MeiselasHOST
But the very fact that this conversation starts to feel a little bit more serious now starts to tell me as someone put in the comment i'm just sick thinking about the destruction of our country but we are starting to get to the point where we can think about uh rebuild and we get starting to now feel got it the days are ticking where there's going to be a midterm the supreme court made the right ruling on the mail-in ballots which was good Shout out to all the AGs.
B
66:14Ben MeiselasHOST
States brought those cases, right? It was important.
The Stars Are Aligned
S
2:04Sean ThompsonHOST
You lick for it.
S
2:06Sean ThompsonHOST
Or you do what Pritzkers do.
S
2:07Sean ThompsonHOST
You inherit it and you have no reason.
S
2:09Sean ThompsonHOST
And you hope you don't get that cross-eye affliction that most of the Pritzkers get.
S
2:13Sean ThompsonHOST
You're all going to look like the Flintstones.
S
2:14Sean ThompsonHOST
But one thing's for sure, the only people that say hello to this fat, butter-handed pansy are boot lickers, Kamala Harris lickers, and every other suck-on that wants something for nothing.

Pritzker was unhappy with this settlement, and at that point, he called in and triggered this federal case.
Z
70:39Zak PaineHOST
Pritzker's Group Venture Capital was an investor in Outcome Health, and after the civil settlement was reached in 2018, the Pritzkers and their co-investors received a controlling equity stake that was worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
Z
70:54Zak PaineHOST
So the company was then rebranded as Patient Point, and they went on to sell for billions in 2025.
Z
71:02Zak PaineHOST
And the Pritzker family did not lose.
Z
71:04Zak PaineHOST
They won spectacularly a lot of money.
Z
71:08Zak PaineHOST
And now they are likely going to win again if the current DOJ doesn't unravel the actions that the Biden DOJ set into motion.
Z
71:18Zak PaineHOST
So the Biden DOJ's prosecution set the stage for a criminal restitution proceeding on top of the civil windfall that the Pritzkers have already collected.
Z
71:28Zak PaineHOST
The government is seeking restitution, potentially totaling $400 million.
