We welcome independent journalist and The Jim Acosta Show host, Jim Acosta, to break down the crisis in Los Angeles—one fueled directly by Donald Trump’s political gamesmanship. As ICE raids spark mass protests and Trump deploys the National Guard over the objections of Governor Newsom, LA has become the latest stage for Trump’s manufactured chaos.

Jojo and Jim dig into how Trump is deliberately escalating tensions in LA to distract from his own scandals—including his public fallout with Elon Musk—and to stoke fear for political gain. They discuss the real-life consequences for immigrants, activists, and everyday Angelenos caught in the crossfire, the dangerous abuse of federal power, and what this moment means for democracy and dissent in America.

Jim Acosta shares his on-the-ground insights, the importance of independent journalism in holding power to account, and why the media must call out this orchestrated crisis for what it is.
