"I actually think that JB Pritzker should do something radical, Scarborough said. I think he should pick up the phone, call the president. and say, You know and I know you don't have the Constitutional authority to deploy the National Guard here, and to police my [city]. You can do that in DC, you can't do that in Chicago. But let's partner up.
