Did Trump Need to Send Troops to L.A.? 

President Trump is doubling down on sending troops to Los Angeles, mobilizing another 2,000 National Guard members, while the Defense Department activated 700 Marines to react to the anti-ICE protests. Trump praised himself for the decision and suggested the city would have been completely obliterated otherwise. California's Governor Gavin Newsom, however, says the move was entirely unnecessary, and even counter-productive, claiming that local officials are more than capable of managing the unrest. Protests are now being seen in other cities as well. Correspondent Josh Campbell joins the program from Los Angeles. Also on today's show: UN humanitarian affairs spokesperson Olga Cherevko; Ukrainian tennis player-turned-soldier Sergiy Stakhovsky; actors Dule Hill & Daniel J. Watts ("Lights Out: Nat King Cole"); former USAID administrator Dr. Atul Gawande Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
