Tanner Richard KraftHOST
29:46
Peter Berg did produce this movie and he was attached to direct it at one point, I think.
Austin ZwiebelmanHOST
29:51
One of the Pritzkers helped produce this movie, surprisingly.
Tanner Richard KraftHOST
29:55
Like J.B. Pritzker? Yeah,
Austin ZwiebelmanHOST
29:57
G.G. Pritzker was a producer.
John AnthonyHOST
45:36
A lot of that can be helped.
John AnthonyHOST
45:39
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.
John AnthonyHOST
45:55
Baltimore, even in Memphis, where the National Guard have been.
John AnthonyHOST
46:02
D.C., look at how beautiful and clean.

Marty McLaughlinGUEST
53:30
Yeah, so on that, what that's about is the 5797 is about getting the Bears stadium built.
Marty McLaughlinGUEST
53:35
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.
Marty McLaughlinGUEST
53:45
And, you know, the McCaskies don't trust the Pritzkers, and Pritzker doesn't trust the McCaskies.
Marty McLaughlinGUEST
53:50
So I said, let's put an audit function into it.
Sean ThompsonHOST
10:37
You don't even have to pay your fracking taxes, do you, fatso?
speaker_10NARRATOR
10:41
For the Pritzkers, avoiding taxes has been a family affair.
speaker_10NARRATOR
10:44
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.
Sean ThompsonHOST
10:57
Yeah, a loophole, like it's offshore, you moron, outside of the views.
Sean ThompsonHOST
11:02
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.

107:00
Do businesses wanna stay in Illinois, and do you think that the Illinois economy is doing well?
Sean ThompsonHOST
107:06
Only the businesses that have a Pritzker accountant.
speaker_10NARRATOR
107:08
For the Pritzkers, avoiding taxes has been a family affair.
Sean ThompsonHOST
5:44
The only time you should open your mouth is questions like this.
Sean ThompsonHOST
5:48
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.
Sean ThompsonHOST
6:17
How is anybody still a fracking Democrat? That's the only question I found interesting.
Sean ThompsonHOST
6:22
But
Philip WeissHOST
0:52
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.
Philip WeissHOST
1:08
By any legal, financial, or governance measure, the Pritzkers had done everything right.
Philip WeissHOST
1:14
Trusts, structures, succession built from the start, all of that had been laid out very well.
Philip WeissHOST
1:22
40 years later, one of those grandchildren opened her trust documents and didn't like what she found.

Philip WeissHOST
20:01
So when I say differentiation is the real balance sheet, I mean it very directly.
Philip WeissHOST
20:08
Every family enterprise is already carrying this number or a differentiation number, whether it's written down anywhere or not.
Philip WeissHOST
20:18
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.
Philip WeissHOST
20:34
Picture with me the two events that this series will keep coming back to.
Sean ThompsonHOST
28:16
All of them.
Sean ThompsonHOST
28:16
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.
Sean ThompsonHOST
28:25
We
PhilAUDIENCE
28:25
build a lot of obsolete stuff with all our money.
JasminHOST
12:54
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...
JasminHOST
13:01
That's the Pritzkers.
JasminHOST
13:03
She was named after Lisa Von Trapp from the Sound of Music, allegedly.
JasminHOST
13:07
And her father, Robert, founded the Marmon Group with Jay Pritzker.
Ben MeiselasHOST
65:25
I could keep going down.
Ben MeiselasHOST
65:27
Pritzkers and keep going down.
Ben MeiselasHOST
65:31
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.
Ben MeiselasHOST
66:14
States brought those cases, right? It was important.
Sean ThompsonHOST
2:04
You lick for it.
Sean ThompsonHOST
2:06
Or you do what Pritzkers do.
Sean ThompsonHOST
2:07
You inherit it and you have no reason.
Sean ThompsonHOST
2:09
And you hope you don't get that cross-eye affliction that most of the Pritzkers get.
Sean ThompsonHOST
2:13
You're all going to look like the Flintstones.
Sean ThompsonHOST
2:14
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.
Zak PaineHOST
70:31
Pritzker was unhappy with this settlement, and at that point, he called in and triggered this federal case.
Zak PaineHOST
70:39
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.
Zak PaineHOST
70:54
So the company was then rebranded as Patient Point, and they went on to sell for billions in 2025.
Zak PaineHOST
71:02
And the Pritzker family did not lose.
Zak PaineHOST
71:04
They won spectacularly a lot of money.
Zak PaineHOST
71:08
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.
Zak PaineHOST
71:18
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.
Zak PaineHOST
71:28
The government is seeking restitution, potentially totaling $400 million.
