We’ve got a bit more on today’s BradCast<\/i><\/a> regarding Team Trump’s attempt to distract from the many failures of his Administration by hoping to frighten Americans with the deployment of military assets against those of us here in Los Angeles<\/b>. Plus, we’ve got a number of other stories that I suspect they would be happy for us not<\/i> to tell you about today. [Audio link to full show follows this summary.<\/i>]\n

The City of Angels continues to hang tough against the Trump Administration, even as horrible human and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem<\/b>, last night, described<\/a> the city of nearly four million people as “a city of criminals”. The pathetic insult against the nation’s second largest city came after Trump federalized 4,000 California National Guard<\/b> troops against the wishes of the state’s Governor, Gavin Newsom<\/b>, and deployed 700 U.S. Marines<\/b> to L.A., purportedly to help ICE<\/b> round up migrants as part of the Administration’s 3,000-a-day national quota<\/a> for migrant arrests.<\/p>\n

In a Sunday letter obtained by the San Francisco Chronicle<\/i><\/a> from Noem to Fox “News” host turned SecDef Pete Hegseth<\/b>, the DHS chief requests Hegseth order military troops to actively participate in arrests and detentions on U.S. soil, an apparent violation of the law, unless<\/i> the President invokes the Insurrection Act<\/a> first under certain circumstances. Her letter suggests the Administration is preparing to do exactly that. Or she doesn’t understand how the law works. Or both.<\/p>\n

In 2020, after George Floyd<\/b> was murdered, spurring far larger protests than the relatively minor ones we’ve seen here in L.A. in recent days, Donald Trump<\/b> insisted it would be against the law for him to federalize and deploy troops against the wishes of a Governor. “We have laws. We have to go by the laws,” he insisted at the time<\/a>. “We can’t move in the National Guard. I can call ‘insurrection’ but there’s no reason to ever do that. We can’t call in the National Guard unless we’re requested by a Governor.”<\/p>\n

Things change. Presidencies fail. The protests against the Administration in cities large and small are expanding by the day<\/a> from coast to coast.<\/p>\n
