Pod Save America · President of Peace Invades Chicago (feat. JB Pritzker) · 10 Oct 2025 podcast

So they're not saying – the federal lawyers are not saying this is about crime, which is what Donald Trump continues to say despite the fact that the lawyers for the federal government are arguing something completely different.

So why are they sending troops in?

Donald Trump is telling them to.

And they're coming up with any argument that will work.

But an insurrection act, if the insurrection act were invoked, that could be for almost any purpose to repel a foreign invasion, to put down an insurrection.

So it would be hard to determine any difference between protecting facilities

potentially fighting crime.

You know, it would be martial law, essentially, that could be invoked in the city of Chicago or the state of Illinois under the Insurrection Act.

Again, he has no right to do so.

The act is there for a purpose by the same reason, you know, separately that there's a Posse Comitatus Act.

There are reasons why these things were passed and are part of our legal lexicon.

So, look, there are limits on the power of states to, you know, to overcome what the federal government is attempting to do.

So, believe me, starting on November the 8th, we began looking at all of the things that we thought Donald Trump was capable of doing and thinking, trying to think through how we could respond, what all of the available responses are.

And still, you know, there are things we didn't imagine, you know, that are happening.

And so we have to think it through constantly.

And thank God we've got a great attorney general.

I've got a great general counsel in my office and terrific outside counsels that help us as well.

not to mention our teams.

And they're basically a bunch of things that we've been doing.

And, you know, I've often sometimes talked about, you know, Trump proofing our state.
