Hasan sits down with billionaire Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker to ask him why he spent the budget of a Pixar movie just to get a government job and whether the only way to beat a bad guy with a billion dollars is a good guy with a billion dollars.

Do check out the video below, as these two explain in even greater depth what they mean by the self-funding gap in politics and try their best to understand where the money comes from.

It consists of a political schism between Democrat and Republican self funding, and isn’t as simple as one side does and the other doesn’t, as Illinois’ very own J.B Pritzker pours money into capture gubernatorial seats like no other capturing the attention of minahaj.

One claim is that it’s ultimately bad for democracy as it moves us away from a system that is representative of its citizens and sinks deeply into capitalistic expression of money equals power.

This explains the viral attention grabbing question raised by Hasan Minahaj, “Does it take a good guy with a billion dollars to beat a bad guy with a billion dollars?”
