00:00In a dramatic turn, former President Donald Trump has threatened to invoke the Insurrection
00:04Act to deploy active duty troops into US cities, a move that's lighting up legal and political
00:10alarms.
00:11What's going on?
00:12Trump aims to send Texas National Guard units into cities like Chicago and Portland under
00:17the guise of quelling unrest.
00:19Democratic leaders are howling, they see it as a power grab, a misuse of authority to
00:23flex muscle where he lost the vote.
00:26Political judges have already blocked deployments in places like Portland, setting the legal
00:31battlefield for this showdown.
00:33Why the world's eyes should be here.
00:35It's a test of US constitutional limits.
00:38When can a leader militarize cities under domestic law?
00:41This kind of internal deployment sets a precedent not just for the US but for any democracy flirting
00:46with executive overreach.
00:47For markets, for geopolitics, for civil liberties, this could ripple outward far more than most
00:52anticipate.
00:53Buckle up, the US is entering a phase where its internal laws may be just as consequential
00:59as its foreign policy.
