What does the opening footage reveal about Chicago’s current safety and why is it relevant?
Let me just show you what Chicago looked like last night so you can just see for yourself. A beautiful city right here. Um, the summer had its lowest homicide rate in Chicago in 60 years. And this is the city right here that Donald Trump wants to invade right now with the United States military. You have Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker holding uh a press conference the other day where he says cruelty is The point they chose September particularly to go after a very specific event that takes place here. Here, play this clip.
We have reason to believe that Steven Miller chose the month of September to come to Chicago because of celebrations around Mexican Independence Day that happen here every year. It breaks my heart to report that we have been told ICE will try and disrupt community picnics and peaceful parades. Let's be clear, the terror and cruelty. Is the point. Not the safety of anyone living here. And Tom Homan said the following
демократ continue to go after this removal of v violent illegal criminal aliens. So when you get pushback as you head into Chicago from people like Mayor Johnson, what's your message to the mayor?
Get out of the way. 'Cause we're gonna do it. Let's bring in uh Governor JB Pritzker of Illinois. Governor, it's great to uh see you. Wha wha what what's the latest right now that you can report on what's going on?
Well, it appears that they are amassing the uh ICE officers uh at the Great Lakes Naval Base, along with some military vehicles. Uh it's been reported that there are about three hundred of those officers that are planning on coming in and doing what they did in Los Angeles, which is terrorize the neighborhoods and cause mayhem. Uh they're hoping in the end, uh their plan is is to cause enough mayhem on the ground that they'll have to call in troops to protect the ICE officials. So that's that's what their aim is. It's not actually to effectuate removal of violent criminals. So you know this is it's what they're doing is dangerous. What they're doing is un-American. And the idea that you're going to call military troops in to
an American city. I I just you can't fathom it. You couldn't make this up, but here it is. And the question I think for all of us is are we going to stand up and let it and and and you know push back or we just gonna let it happen? And at least in Chicago, I think uh there's a common belief that that I think people will protest peacefully. I've encouraged people to get out their iPhones and their Android devices and film everything they see from the ICE officials. And then we've made sure that people on the streets know their rights. I'm talking about the, you know, people who are being gone after just because of their the color of their skin. They're being targeted by ICE. Or whether they've got an accent when they speak.
And some of them are American citizens, some of them are people who've been here for decades, uh raising families, holding down jobs, paying taxes. Uh these are good people and they're under attack by ICE and maybe soon by uh military troops.
So a two-phase plan that they have right away. And could you imagine in September 2025, we're talking about the federal government with a military invasion plan in a state in Illinois in the United States of America. And the plan, as you describe it, is ice builds up, terrorize the city, try to provoke people. Then declare an emergency, then bring in military force, call in the National Guard, call in the Marines, and then occupy Chicago, occupy maybe even other parts of the state, and and literally have an an invasion. Am I when I use language like that, am I being hyperbolic or is is that is that what's happening?
It's an invasion. If they send American troops into an American city, it's an invasion. I I want to point out that, you know, the the ICE uh folks that are showing up here are being led by the same guy. In fact, the the people that are showing up are the same people that were in Los Angeles. Same exact people and and Gregory Bovino is the name of the lead ICE officer who is uh bringing these these uh IC.
