Trump's War on Blue America

Donald Trump orders National Guard troops to Chicago and
Portland, making good on his promise to generals to use American
cities as "training grounds." Jon, Tommy, and Lovett discuss the
court order—issued by a Trump-appointed judge—that blocked the
deployment in Portland, the military-style immigration raids that
rocked Chicago last week, and the signals that Stephen Miller and
the rest of the Trump administration are sending about what's
next for blue America. Then, the guys check in on the ongoing
government shutdown, react to Trump's unexpected hint that he may
be willing to negotiate with Democrats on healthcare subsidies,
and discuss what it'll take for Prop 50—California's
redistricting response act—to pass in November. Then, Ben Smith,
Editor-in-Chief of Semafor and host of the Mixed Signals podcast,
joins Tommy to talk about Bari Weiss taking over CBS News, the
right's attack on free speech and Jimmy Kimmel, and the future of
network media.
