Trump vs. LA

1 hour 17 minutes

Jason Kander and Ravi Gupta break down how Trump’s reckless actions and inflammatory rhetoric sparked chaos in Los Angeles, where clashes erupted and the LAPD imposed a curfew following his decision to override Governor Newsom and deploy Marines and the National Guard. They examine how Trump’s thirst for domination politics poured fuel on an already tense situation, and analyze Governor Gavin Newsom’s state and national response. The hosts also discuss Trump’s hyper-partisan speech to soldiers at Fort Bragg and his chilling threats against demonstrators at a potential military parade. Plus, Kander and Gupta dive into Elon Musk’s sudden reversal on Trump, RFK Jr.’s dangerous shake-up of the CDC vaccine panel, and what it all means for democracy, public health, and the rule of law.
