46:42Now PlayingWe are hearing from a whole group of Illinois lawmakers after President Donald Trump on Monday lobbed personal insults toward Gov. JB Pritzker. This comes after reports that the Trump administration is planning to deploy National Guard members to Chicago to help fight crime. Pritzker, a Democrat, responded by saying the state would sue the Trump administration if troops are sent to the city.
A number of lawmakers including the Governor, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, and Illinois Senators Tammy Duckworth and Dick Durbin spoke at an event on Monday.
"In a certain way, you really want to be asked to go. You know?" Trump said. "I’d hate to barge in on a city and then be treated horribly by corrupt politicians and bad politicians like a guy like Pritzker. He ought to spend more time in the gym, actually. The guy is a disaster."
