HOT TOPICS | National Guard in Los Angeles: Trump's War On America - June 9th, 2025
from The Don Lemon Show · host Lemon Media Network
Thousands of Los Angeles residents hit the streets to protest ICE’s increasingly aggressive raids, exercising their First Amendment rights, as Americans tend to do. But instead of listening or de-escalating, Donald Trump decided to call in the National Guard. That’s right: federal troops, deployed without the governor’s request for the first time in decades. California officials are demanding they stand down. Trump’s cabinet is doubling down. So the question is: Are we witnessing the rise of an American Gestapo? Is this just more MAGA authoritarian cosplay, or something far more dangerous? We’re digging into the legal, political, and moral chaos of the moment, because if the federal government is now targeting citizens for protesting injustice… that’s not law and order. That’s a crackdown. Buckle up, Lemon Nation. This is not normal. WE HAVE MERCH!! Purchase here: https://don-lemon-merch-store.myshopify.com/ This episode is brought to you by Shopify.
