LEMON DROP | Making Medicare Simple with Chapter CEO Cobi Blumenfeld-Gantz

For the second time today, we’re going live to break down the disturbing escalation in Los Angeles. Protests against ICE raids turned into a national crisis after Trump deployed the National Guard without California’s request, the first time a president has done that in decades. And now? The administration is reportedly preparing to deploy Marines. Yes, you read that right. Marines. Against civilians. For protesting. California officials are demanding they leave. Trump and his cabinet are doubling down. So we have to ask: Is this the American Gestapo? Has protest officially been reclassified as a threat to MAGA authority? Join us as we dig into the constitutional chaos, the growing authoritarian playbook, and what this all means for democracy, free speech, and your right to fight back.

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.
