Brian Kabateck and Shant Karnikian break down shocking testimony from Major General Scott Sherman, who admitted under oath he would deploy military forces if Trump ordered him to enforce tax collection or any unpopular law. They expose how a Trump official questioned the general’s patriotism when he objected to the pointless MacArthur Park operation that arrested zero people but terrorized children at summer camp. The hosts reveal how Trump’s lawyers claim a massive “protective power” exception that would gut the Posse Comitatus Act, allowing the president to use troops as domestic police whenever he wants. This Northern District of California trial is Trump’s test kitchen—if he can militarize Los Angeles, he’ll export these tactics nationwide.
