Is Trump Using LA Protests to Justify Martial Law & Delay 2026 Election? - Thom Hartmann
This is not hypothetical. It’s not alarmism. It’s a dry run for the eventual suppression of all dissent that seriously threatens the Trump regime. Trump's response to LA protests is an attack against American democracy… every new act of violence against the Constitution and people who disagree with him (Hegseth is now threatening to deploy Marines) will become less scandalous, more “normal,” and more likely to lead to the next crackdown. - Aired on 06/09/2025.
