1:04:19Now PlayingThe showdown is heating up.
In the wake of escalating protests in Los Angeles, Donald Trump has steamrolled past state authority, first sending in the National Guard, then Marines, and now more National Guard, all without California’s consent. Governor Gavin Newsom says his state didn’t ask for this and doesn’t want it. And now? Trump is openly endorsing Newsom’s arrest.
Yes, you read that right.
Newsom is turning to the courts, arguing this is a blatant violation of state sovereignty. And he’s not wrong. Because when a president starts deploying the military against the will of elected state leaders and punishing them for it, we’re well past law and order and deep into autocracy cosplay.
Tonight, we’re breaking down how we got here, what this means for California (and every other state), and why this fight could shape the future of federal vs. state power in America.
Strap in. This one’s a mess.
