“I think it's definitely possible. It doesn't sound that far fetched. I think my concern is A, so what do we do about that? And B, it's like I'm sure you walk this fine line all the time, which is we want to warn people like, hey, wake up, this is happening, or this could happen, but also you don't want to scare people into staying home and depressing turnout, right? And so how do you think about like the way to handle that this could be coming in 2026?”

“For sure, and you have warned a few times now that Trump might use the military in connection with the 2026 elections. What specifically are you worried about and what do you think can be done about it?”

“Of public safety. Do you think the Democrats in Congress should be demanding reforms like these around ICE? We could name a few more, as a condition for funding the government?”
2025-10-10 · Pod Save America · President of Peace Invades Chicago (feat. JB Pritzker) · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source
“I mean, you mentioned Congress. So Democrats in Congress have made the government shut down about healthcare. They won't vote to fund the government unless Trump and Republicans agree to reverse healthcare cuts that will lead to huge premium spikes for millions as well as people losing their healthcare. I think this is a worthy fight, both on the substance. I think it's going to help people if they win. And I think it's good politically. I also think that they should be saying they won't fund the government unless Trump and Republicans agree to some basic restrictions on ice. And a federal judge in Illinois just before we started talking just imposed temporary restrictions that prevent ice from using force or arresting journalists or nonviolent protesters or unless there's probable cause they've committed a crime. They also prevent ICE from using riot control weapons and throwing people to the ground unless there's an imminent risk.”

“So, you guys have taken legal action on the guard deployments. What other options are you considering to help protect the people of Illinois from ice terrorizing the neighborhoods from everything else that Donald Trump is trying to do to Illinois and Chicago specifically? I'm sure you get up every day and your highest priority is to protect people in your state. And this is obviously a pretty extreme situation that it seems like Donald Trump wants to escalate even further. So do you have other options or other tools that you can consider?”

“You said earlier this week that this is all a pretext for Trump to invoke the insurrection act, which I think he probably has fewer limits legally on that if he invokes the Insurrection Act than even the deployment of the guard. But how would that look different than what's happening right now? What should people know about that?”

“And now the guard has been deployed and he's federalized the Illinois National Guard and Texas has sent 200 troops. What is the status of that? I know that there was a court hearing today. Probably there may be a ruling by the time you're all hearing this. But what's the status of the guard right now?”

“Well, and what is going on in Chicago, and outside Chicago seems to be, at least for the last several weeks, if not months, ICE agents sort of terrorizing neighborhoods, it seems like there's been some protests around the Broadview facility outside Chicago. And now...”

“So he and Gnome continued to describe Chicago as some kind of a crime-ridden, lawless hellhole where brave ice agents are being assaulted by anarchists. For people who aren't in Chicago, who have only seen headlines and posts here and there, what's the situation on the ground right now?”

“I'm glad to see that you're not in jail despite the president's best wishes, to the contrary. He and Christy Nome were just in a cabinet meeting today. They said that the reason you're pushing back on the guard deployment is because you're scared and threatened by the anarchists and the politics of doing the right thing. Care to respond”

It's called Bravo America, all about how reality TV explains the world we're living in, including our politics. Seems a little self-serving to me. You're a Bravo guy, right?”

“That he plays in the new rose garden cafe and dance hall or whatever it is. It's this fucking political system sucks. The profiles have been just really, really bad. That's all I have to say. But when we come back, you will hear my conversation with Governor JB Pritzker, who's wonderful. We love JB Pritzker. And we talk about everything that's going on in Chicago. Before we get to that, two quick things. A reminder that we moved CrookedCon, aka Antifa HQ, that's not fun.”

“They are saying merely that they are narco terrorists that they killed, which even if that's true, is not a legal basis to kill people, they have not, the government has not even bothered to say who they are, who they were, has not even bothered to, like you said, offer any evidence whatsoever, offer the identities of the people, the President of Columbia this week said, actually one of the boats was a bunch of Colombian citizens in the boat. And is that true? We don't know because the U.S. government will not provide any information about this. They are just saying, trust us, we are murdering people at sea. And we're saying they're narco-terrorists, and we don't have to tell you anything else. All we have to do is make AI parody videos to the fucking loveboat, which is a song that is probably on Donald Trump's iPad.”

“For sure. All right, how about the Peace Prize? Peace prize. Peace prize, which they immediately, it's basically all Trump cares about. And it's like, all right, if that's your incentive and the incentive, which is, you know, typical narcissistic incentive perverse, but if it leads to a good outcome, who are we?”

“But it's also, and Tommy and Ben were saying this too. Trump and good for Trump on this was able to put pressure on BB. Which we were told a million times that Joe Biden just couldn't do and wouldn't work. And Donald Trump came in and he took too long to put the pressure on BB way too long and like how many more people fucking died over the last year because he wasn't, he didn't do what he did now and finally told BB knock at the fuck off, you know. But he did and it worked. Know, or at least we hope it works.”

“Right. That's the big question. Because releasing the hostages that, you know, that they don't really have any more leverage anymore. And you hope that Israel and Bibi Netanyahu keeps their end of the deal here and does not resume hostilities. And you hope that Hamas does not resume hostilities as well, right? But the idea that you could stop the killing, stop the slaughter, and stop the starvation and that aid could come back in because that's part of the deal too, that immediately aid is rushed in with, you know, no limits like it was before. It would be huge. It would be huge. This is a smaller thing, maybe a little picky. But how are you feeling about reading all the tributes to not just Trump, but Jared Kushner, Steve Whitcoff? Real estate team from New York got it done.”

“It's wild. All right, we wanted to spend just a bit of time on the good news that's being celebrated literally around the world. Hopefully you've listened to Tommy and Ben on this already, but on Wednesday evening, Hamas accepted the first phase of the Gaza peace plan brokered by the Trump team. As of this recording, Israel's government was doing the same. If that happens, the IDF will pull back to a first designated perimeter and Hamas will release the remaining hostages, which Trump says could happen as early as Monday, or maybe Tuesday. He also said he'll be traveling to Israel in the coming days, and that he'll meet with hostages once they return. What do you think? What do you think? How about this?”

“And I can't imagine that Republicans in the House and Senate who are trying to keep the House and Senate want this on the table. And so it's like if I'm a Republican or a Republican strategist, I look for a way that it doesn't look like I lost and just gave in to the Democrats, but that we can take the issue off the table and extend the fucking subsidies if I'm looking at the polling and want to win the midterms.”

“But he's probably the one with the best politics on this internally. He's got an instinct that because he's like accidentally saying, yeah, I want to do a deal on healthcare and then he has to walk it back and all that kind of shit. But like he knows he doesn't want this issue on the table. I would imagine not.”

“Yeah. I do think that even if this is about making the Democrats in Congress who took part in this feel confident that they can fight and that fighting is a good thing and that taking a risk is a good thing, then that's positive. You know, like good for them that they got positive reinforcement for taking that risk.”

“When you say people, do you think it helps with our voters, like people who are already Democrats who are just pissed at the Democratic Party? Or is it, because we know that most of the people who are actually going to be helped by this are Trump voters, or at least 75%, right? And I don't think that they're going to change their opinion of Democrats, even though they got helped by premium increases, though I hope so. Maybe a few will. Maybe it's independents who are just looking for a party that actually is going to fight for something they care about.”

“Here's my other question If we win this fight and get the healthcare, the Affordable Care Act subsidies extended, do you think there is a political benefit for Democrats in the midterms or even leading up to the midterms?”

“Do you think would be happening right now if Democrat said we are not going to vote to fund the government unless we make sure that ICE, federal agents cannot raid people's homes without a warrant? They cannot hold American citizens and legal residents for more than two hours, that they cannot use military tactics and military weapons to invade communities in Blackhawk helicopters, just like basic constitutional rights, due process, no unreasonable search and seizure focused on American citizens, legal residents, and all of these videos are out there that have gone probably more viral than the healthcare stuff.”

“Yeah, I totally agree. I agree. I think it's the right, look, it is good that they made this about healthcare. As you know, I think they should make it about more. They still should. But it is clear that healthcare is, you know, they are right on both the substance and the politics here in healthcare. I guess what I hadn't anticipated is the notices that are coming out from the insurance companies that are going to let people know that they're in premiums are going up are a forcing mechanism that I hadn't anticipated would be as powerful as it is, right? Because I do think that without that, like if they were just arguing about reversing Medicaid cuts that aren't going to take effect for a couple years, I don't know that the fight would be as clearly defined as it is right now. And I think that what's making Republicans nervous is those notices as well too, because this is something they're going to have to deal with very soon. And so it's more of a cliff.”

“In another, Arizona Democratic senators Mark Kelly and Reuben Gallego held a press conference outside Mike Johnson's office to pressure him to swear in newly elected congresswoman Adelita Grajalva from their state, and Johnson walked into the middle of the press conference. Here's a taste of how both of those exchanges went.”

“Let's talk about how in case this drags on for quite a while, let's talk about how Democrats are handling the messaging. There have been plenty of standard videos and press conferences of varying quality, but we should note that they are getting quite a bit of views, quite a bit of traction on social media. I think Peter Hamby at Puck had a piece about the firm Resonate tracks this, that for once, a lot of like the democratic created content, whether by politicians or influencers or groups or whatever, is just like outperforming a lot of the Republican content on social media and is actually shut down content is going quite far. So that's good. Democrats also seem to be having real luck taking the fight to Republicans in these ambush moments, I guess, is what we're calling them now that have been happening in the capital. And one of them, New York Republican Congressman Mike Lawler, confronted Akeem Jeffreys about extending the ACA subsidies.”

“Right, so just to remind people again, this is about a seven day CR, right That we're fighting over. So you could say, I was wondering, apparently Gaiago had said this before, something like this before, and there have been no takers. But it does seem like a way for everyone to save face where Republicans can say, okay, well, we didn't negotiate while the government was closed. And we just said we'd work with them and promise a vote. And then they do the vote. And then if Republicans don't provide the votes to extend the tax credit, then the CR only lasts a week and then we're just back into the shutdown.”

“Interesting. So let's talk about how this might end. Furloughed workers are going to start missing paychecks on Friday. Troops are going to start missing paychecks this Wednesday the 15th. There's some reporting that that will ultimately get a gang together, bipartisan gang, to figure this all out. Though there's also some reporting that even after the missed paychecks, Democrats are planning to stand firm. How are you feeling about this? How do you think this shakes out?”

“I guess we just did it. There's nothing else to say. The fact that that was, oh my god, it's insane. It's insane. All right, let's get to the government shutdown, which will be in its 10th day by the time you're hearing this. On Thursday, the Senate voted again on two different versions of a funding bill. Neither of them passed. Democrats are clearly beginning to feel they've got the upper hand because they have a simple message. Republicans won't budge on gutting your health care. Republicans are more all over the place. They're going to fire federal workers. No, they aren't. They're going to deny backpay to furloughed workers. Maybe not. Trump is talking to Democrats about cutting a deal on health care. No, he isn't. Even on Thursday in that cabinet meeting, Trump tried to say that Republicans were the ones trying to save healthcare and also tried his tough guy approach once again. Take a listen.”
