Donald Trump vs. California (and Democracy)

It's a dare/double-dare showdown, as California Governor Gavin Newsom and President Donald Trump clash over a National Guard crackdown on immigration protests. How bad could this get? And what does it mean for the entire United States...and the rest of the world? We talk to PM Stephen Harper's former federal Minister of Citizenship and Immigration Chris Alexander about Trump's attack on democracy in California (5:55), ramped-up Russian aggression in Ukraine (37:30), and a wild dynamic at the upcoming G7 in Kananaskis (48:50).  CHRIS on X: https://x.com/calxandr CHRIS ONLINE: https://chrisalexander.ca/ 1:06:00 | Jespo hints at a special guest tandem making an exclusive announcement on an upcoming show, and he and Johnny get mentally prepared for Game Three of the Stanley Cup Final.
